Concerning Death
Hazrat Isa (Jesus son of Mary) (peace be upon him) has said: “This world is a bridge: cross it, but do not build on it.”
In other words, it is the existence in the Hereafter which is the actual REALITY and objective for which this world acts as the bridge or means to transport one from the cradle to the inevitable grave where one is bound to spend some time. Since this world is a temporary station, it doesn’t make sense to live in extravagance. Therefore it becomes imperative to study and gain enough knowledge about the conditions prevailing in the grave so that adequate preparations could be made and when one reaches the moment of truth one will not feel lonely, deserted or confused.
