WHAT'S THE MEANING OF LIFE AFTER DEATH

Hi folks,

Its been a while we haven't got a chance to share a new thought. Wish you all in good health.

I am right now spending my sabbatical leave in Bristol, United Kingdom. I will be here until December 2013 doing my research on inclusive education. But that's not the point that I would like to share this time. But to something else that I had never have the thought about it at all before. But when I have gone through right now it really opens up my conscious mind.

Being away gives me some precious moments to think and consider something not really like before. Considering our new life in the grave reminds me how the situation is going to be in terms of our relationships with our relatives, friends and others. Now it is quite similar the way it affects us. It also reminds me to the day when my father passed away, and ironically again I was here in Bristol. I know he passed away but there's nothing much I can do about. After a long discussion with my brothers and sisters and my mom they agreed if I don't comeback for the funeral. It was thousands of kilometres that separated me from my father and even if managed to get a plane to attend his funeral the time is already passed. 

The same way now when during my absence a lot of things happened at my home. I have to deal with it through my wife and of course it is through phone. As a result there was nothing much I can do about it in resolving all the problems that my wife were facing right now. You know it happens, you know the best way how to deal with it but you can't do much about it as you are far away from where the problems were occurred. Similarly I think the same scenario is happening during our absence because of death where we were separated by two completely different world. Initially we know that this thing is happening and that things is going to happen and most importantly we know how to deal with it to solve it but the situation does not allow you to be presence. That could be the reasons I think why now people cried when they were facing the moment of truth - the death.

Just to share some thoughts which I hope gives strength to us especially me in facing the situation. One thing for sure which I think has to be shared equally too is that times past never be repeated. Once it passed it passed.

May my journey this time will infuse me with new understandings about life.
I wish I will be given a chance to witness my children finishing their formal education, get a job, having family and kids and that I think is the best moment in our life as a parent witnessing all those by our presence. Witnessing to all our efforts bringing them up from the moment they were born as a successful parent or otherwise. Merciful Allah Almighty in fulfilling His servant's wish. Amin.

Hmmm...that's all for now.

Thank you.
