Some Words & Thoughts On Death | Mufti Abu Layth

death is a reality an inescapable reality it doesn't we have to sometimes change um or we have to sometimes refresh our outlook on it it's scary in the sense it's unknown to us so we feel that you know we don't know but death in and of itself is is beautiful as shocking as that may sound but from a perspective you see it is

um into a dimension that is in a different dimension an existence that exists beyond this consciousness pure consciousness so those people certainly are in a better place yeah it's difficult somebody said how to just one embrace death you see it's coming to terms with i love this eclipse i shared it once of robin williams where he's i it's a clip from an extract from um

a clip from his what was it patch adams adam was it patch adams an amazing movie a must watch robin williams was such an amazing soul you know such an amazing soul honestly um and i feel that he had so much hurt within him that people like him they can't they have such empaths that they can't see other people in suffering that they spend most their lives keeping other people happy but he didn't i guess the darkness within maybe he didn't deal

with that in his own way because eventually he took his own life obviously he must have been grappling with um with that the shadow within see wherever there's light by default there will be a shadow and yeah but but that he has this clip in the way he says when he's having to present to the panel um justify his his kind of clinical practices and they say well what if somebody had died and he says well what's wrong with death he says that why can't we treat death with

um with some dignity [Music] with beauty and he says with god forbid even humor and it's such a powerful quotation i think part of the problem is people have scared away frightened away and i get it they're trying to say we're trying to keep things in balance but they've made everything about punishment and torture and fire and brimstone and you know snakes and serpents and scorpions and suffering and that people the poor souls are petrified of

one people are scared of death anyway because it's the unknown even if you don't believe in a god you would still have a fear of the unknown it's part of your fitrah and i actually feel that deep down within our souls we know death and it's it's that and that's that fear of the the it's uncanny it's a familiar yet unknown it's a familiar unknown and this is why

it causes a turbulence a disturbance and i think this is why many people when they are on the path of consciousness and people through mindfulness and through other measures people they experience an ego death where they actually come face to face with the death and it is i guess in its moments it's terrifying but the strange thing is that you know when that happens it's familiar

like you know it's death but you know it it's like i know this from before it's really strange you know allah says in the quran that that that you gave us two deaths

that allah mentions that he grants death then life then death in life many people have then looked pondered over those verses that what does that mean that he grants you two deaths and then two lives and but and there's so much written on these that but the point is that in that those who experience that there is a a deep

long forgotten but a familiarity and you see it and then the strange thing is people who experience that then tend to lose a fear of death so they either embrace it or they at least don't have that kind of fear of it

yeah there's allah has hidden many things as secrets for us to discover in this world i think death doesn't need to be viewed gothically gruesomely it's just a passing from a dimension to a dimension and to a more purer dimension and the consciousness continues it doesn't kind of end
