Re: I was told I have cancer

I have no idea what I would do if that was the case with me. But if it were true...atleast u have time to repent and reflect...even though you may be scared**, but others may not be so lucky..for htem death will be sudden and they won't have time to repent or reflect...
Every year around this time I think about it..I know many may hate this example, but just for one second, forget abt the politics behind it, who did it, who really did it, and all the political/social aftermath and why the're getting so much attention while others aren't or why i chose this example and why not that example..JUST IMAGINE..you're going to work one day as usual, or its the first day of your new job, or ure on the plane to go meet your husband or wife..and suddenly you're jumping out of that building, that plane that ure on is crashing..there's simply no words to express it..about three months after it happened, my religion teacher was saying..so many ppl woke up that morning and they didnt know that they woudln't come home..i know theres a million other examples to use but this one just came off hte top of my head right now..
We know that deep down, despite all the stuffwe hear abt going to hell for the littlest thing, every other thing is shirk, everything meant to scare us..i think sometimes we lose sight of the larger picture (if there is one)..that we are human, we make mistakes BUT Allah forgives. I think we forget that last part sometimes. I don't think any normal person sits there and thinks "i'm going to heaven because____". Everyone with even a grain of knowledge knows that they have lots to repent for, no matter how much they cover up, how strict they are with prayers, how much Quran they read daily, how many times they've been on hajj...

Feelll better fallen..

Re: I was told I have cancer

FP: Glad to know that you are doing better. Alhumdulillah. Have you completely recovered? any follow-ups? I know going to hospitals can be tough, I hate 'em too, but it's equally important to follow up on your health to cure your situation asap.

I can't imagine, how hard wud it have been for you to listen to that, meaning bringing you to the feeling that soon it will be time to meet the Eternal God. We plan and prepare so much for so many things in life, for so many trips but this particular journey?? Whenever I think of that, (despite trying to follow my religious duties) I find myself empty handed. What can be good enough to take to your Lord? All that I was supposed to do as my obligations? Or what I could have done to please the Almighty, the way we do to please our parents, siblings, friends, our loved ones? what have I been doing? We think of going to town and we rush to change, groom, try to look nice. We think of going to Lord for a prayer, what do we do (other than obligatory wudu and stuff). Do we even ponder that we are going in the presence of our Lord, do we care to look nice? put on our best dress? No it's just a namaz, grab a shawl and quickly say the prayer?

I appreciate your attitude, like, I want to meet the Lord, my maker, and of course the fear of "am I ready" keeps us on the straight path. May God gives you long and healthy life and keeps you and all of us on the right path, ameen, sum ameen.

I am a strong believer of " For every Calamity there's a Blessing". For every little pain a believer gets, God removes his wrongs or elevates his status.

Re: I was told I have cancer

Still bedridden. I went to my personal doctor in Flushing and he put me on more medicine. Another freakin antibiotic which brings the grand total to 3. Now I feel weaker, my hands tremble, suffer from dizzy spells, and unable to talk for longer than one minute. Last time I heard medicines were suppose to make you feel better.

Re: I was told I have cancer

I'm glad you're okay! What's horrible is how many people actually walk out of the hospital with not such relieving news.

And yeah, it can be any one of us or our family members.

Re: I was told I have cancer

I am glad you are okay and mashallah in good health :)

we someitmes forget to thank Allah for what he has given us....

I was told by a doctor when i was in 3rd grade that i had a cancer... He saw some spots etc...

After consulting with his senior and others he came back to my father and went... oh Mr. Khan my applogies they teach us in medical school that it was cancer but our technician made a error when he was printing these xrays... ullo ka charkhaaa
this was in Jeddah..

Re: I was told I have cancer

Man man... I'm sorry to hear that... I know that you're not asking for that but still ... I hope they do find out what's wrong with you...

It kinda reminds me of what happened to someone I know. His was ironic 'cause he likes to use that he has cancer to ditch girls especially non-desi ones. Actually, he got one pregnant and run off. Then he got sick and he was told he had cancer turns out it was a mistake. He was so grateful. He wasn't ready to face Allah yet... Last time I heard he's somewhere in UK

By the by, hope they figure what's wrong. Don't worry Allah always forgives.

Re: I was told I have cancer

I've kept a nice beard, and yet I found myself not quite prepared to meet my maker<<

I love that line. It sums us all up.

Re: I was told I have cancer

Anyone who actually lies about having cancer is despicable and has absolutely no character. I won't say he deserves cancer, but they deserve whatever they get.

Sums up into what?

Re: I was told I have cancer

No arguments there, Sara. He is truly despicable and have no character whatsoever. What's sad is he has actually deluded himself into believing he's a good muslim when all he is a cowardly, gutless wonder who uses Islam indiscriminately to suit his needs.

But then again who are we to judge. Only Allah knows and is all forgiving. Maybe he'll repent and not burn in hell for the things he's done.

Re: I was told I have cancer

Unfortuantely you see so many people who focus on the tiniest details, liek not using a blade on their skin or thinking using a lota makes them a better Muslim (just some examples) that they completely lose sight of the bigger picture and forget that it's wrong to treat others the way the guy you're talking about does. If eh deosnt get his punishment in this life he'll get it in the n xt life

Re: I was told I have cancer

somebody told me as well . that i will not live after 35 years of age ..

still i have much time left .. but i think we are always unsure of stepping into real life

36

Re: I was told I have cancer

this reminds me of an historic event .. that we are never prepared to meet our Lord . or is there a lack of spirit .

once a ruler/saint went to Hajj /Umrah and he saw some blind peoplke there at the Kaaba whom on being questioned said that they werew asking Allah for mercy for the last 19 years
but He did not give them vision ..
so angered the emperor said that there's no need to live if even Allah does not have mercy on them .. and if they did not have vision by next morning they would all be killed by the emperor himself
.. by the next morning each one of them could see ...

the emperor only raised their spirits ..

Re: I was told I have cancer

I know what you mean, Sara... A lot of our brothers are so confused about Islam like they would grow their beard a certain length, use a pair of scissors instead of blade, never miss a prayer, and read the the Quran religiously but would treat other people like crap. They think that by doing this small stuff that they will be forgiven for every evil thing they did instead of making amends to the people they have hurt. Their approach to Islam is almost mercenary and just simply hypocritical just to be forgiven and rewarded in the next life. As if Allah would care more about their beard than how they treated other people. They need to have a hadith to specify how to treat other people correctly less they have to actually think for themselves and be guided by their conscience. :D

But I guess you're right, if they're not punished in this life they'll be punished in the next. Only Allah knows.
