Mufti Motara: Death is Like a Bridge that Joins the Lover, We Should Look Forward to it

Faizel Patel, Radio Islam News – 13-05-2019

Renowned senior Islamic scholar from Darul Uloom Azaadville Mufti Muhammed Saeed Motara says every janaza a Muslim attends should be a reminder of the final journey to meet our creator Allah.

Mufti Motara was speaking at the mayyit of Marhoom Ebrahim Gangat who passed away on Sunday after a long battle with cancer.

Mufti Motara says death is like a bridge that joins the lover with the beloved and we should all look forward to it.

“A person that lived Alhamdulillah a life of righteousness, he looks forward to meeting his creator. The person who looks forward to meeting his creator, Allah looks forward to meeting him as well. Death is a curtain between this world and the next.”

Mufti Motara made dua that Allah prepares all Muslims for the day they will pass on.

“This death is with proper precision, not one moment behind, not one moment forward. It happens at the exact time we ought to prepare for that.”

Mufti Motara also made dua for the entire Ummah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) invoking Allah to grant them comfort and ease in the grave Insha’Allah
