He has that impressive aura about Him which you cannot quite point your finger at. He is so straight forward. He doesn’t give you any false promises. He doesn’t give a damn whether you are sick or healthy/ poor or rich/ willing or unwilling.
So the real question here is, should we be afraid and running for covers (and save ourselves) from the impending doom? My answer would be a NO. If He decides to make His entry, He is sure never to leave without you. You are beautiful to Him. Utterly desirable and vulnerable. No matter how you disguise yourself, He is sure to find you.
But DO NOT expect more than a mere brush of emotions from Him. He will be tantalizingly chilling and would evoke not more than a minute’s unavoidable pain in you. Once He has set his eyes and hands on you, you cannot distract Him, for He will definitely not be fooled.
Allah says in Holy Quran:
"Every soul shall have taste of death; in the end to us shall ye be brought back”
(Surah Al-'Ankabut; The Spider 29:57)
Is it true that people who are at the gateway of the Death Valley would be able to see Him? Is that why their eyes round in wonder (mark me, ‘wonder’ and not ‘horror’)? So, would not it be true that once they meet the person in question, they are so drawn to Him that they do not want to take the step back? Not to leave us? Weeping and broken? Such is the power of the Angel of Death. I haste to believe that once they make the decision, it is once and for all. Their temptation to see what lies BEYOND would be incomparable to what they are leaving BEHIND. But alas, what they see in their new world, I have got no clue. All I know is, Death is a journey to your final destination.
If there is one thing in this world which is of 100% surety, that is HIM. Death – The FIVE letter delicacy. I know He is smiling at you and me at this very moment.
Every man dies - Not every man lives!!!
