one of your best posts, mashaAllah… that’s really sad. but subhanallah Its interesting to think how Allah ‘az wa jal gives certain individuals a sign that they are close to their death and some people it’s a complete surprise. May Allah guide him and his family to Islam, ameeen.
Allah ‘az wa jal gave both the Prophet Salallahu alayhi wa sallam and Abu Bakr Raddi Allahu anho an indication of their death approaching by Surat An-nasr .. and subhanallah it’s interesting that in that very same surah is the answer to the Question “If you have so and so amount of time to live, what would you do?” Allah ‘az al Jal tells us “fa sabbih bi hamdi rabbika wastaghfirahu innahu kaana tawwaaba”- We should praise and remember Allah much, and seek forgiveness for our sins. Wallahu ta’ala alem.
Great Post, Jazak Allah Khair.

Jazaak Allaahu khairan for sharing this
Last month my brother in law passed away, he had cancer and was 26 years old
He would always tell people of his condition, to show we really dont know when our time will be up and we should make use of our time in accumulating good deeds, because in the end that’s all he took with him and that is all we will take with us.
As Hassan al-Basri said
“We are just days. As each day passes, so does a part of us…”
