The topic of the speaker at the Arba'een Majalis that I've been attending is the Sermon of Hammam by Imam Ali (a.s)- the qualities of a pious man, and the Majalis have really opened my eyes. There are over one hundred qualities mentioned in the sermon and each one carries so much depth and meaning that it's scary that we aim to tick all these boxes by the time we die.
And that's another thing. A lot of things have happened recently to make me more aware of death. Seeing other people's problems has made me think that life is truly over-rated and death, for some, could be an escape. I'd like to be among those "some people" for whom death is salvation rather than a dreaded deadline, which means a tonne of preparation and a lot of sorting out. A lot.
