A Wayfarer's Life

Since the inception of Humans, the cycle of life demands an end, at a certain stage of life. During that cycle of life, we go through many phases, growing gradually to our end. These phases of life have it all, what we earn through our worldly acts, leading us to sometimes, path of glory or towards satanic path.

Sometime ago, We lost our friend in a road side accident, while he was coming back from his office to home. The incident shocked all of us, as we were busy in our worldly affairs and was not expecting it, this soon. A question suddenly struck me, that how could we forget our end and the decided cycle of life. Working towards the answer, I found a fact which is our eternal fate and that is "We are living a Wayfarer's Life".

As a wayfarer we are just time traveling, covering events of life and collecting things we need to earn different badges to complete our luggage for final destination. A destination that is yet to come, but long forgotten. As a matter of fact, we are busy in things less important than those we need to fulfill at any cost. Its our responsibility to prepare for the final trip, like we pack our bags for any worldly trip.

A wayfarer doesn't pay heed to things he pass through his travel, instead he focuses only on his target destination and only pick things, he need to move further. A wayfarer's mission is to successfully complete his/her journey by fulfilling his/her goals. Are we fulfilling the Goals of Final Journey?

The answer that I found is NO, we are not. We are living this life as it will never end, forgetting the fact that Every thing which has life, has an end also. No matter, whom we belong to, which religion we follow, which place we live, how much wealthy or poor we are, we have a family or we are alone, we all have our decided eternal fate and that is "Death". Now the question is; what we are going to take with us, when we are no more of this world. All our wealth, our family, our relations, our friends, our life's achievements i.e. awards, certification, degrees & trophies, will be no more with us. The only thing that follow us there is our DEEDS.

Our close ties (Holy Faith) with God Almighty and HIS Holy Final Messenger; Prophet Muhammad (Peace & Blessings Be Upon Him), our deeds where we helped someone, where we did good with someone, where we stand for righteousness, where we strive for the betterment of society, where we refrained from bad deeds, where we give Love & Respect to our elders & juniors, where we saved someone's life, where we remained true to our responsibilities and all that will be with us in Our Eternal Home - Our Grave.

So, it is my utmost effort and initiative to remind all of us our Eternal Duties, so that we may found peace & blessings of God Almighty.

May God bless us all with Holy Faith, HIS Peace & HIS Blessings and HIS Holy Guidance, so that we may find rest in peace. Ameen Sumameen
