Death & Life

December 7, 2024

Place of janaza. Generator in the backgournd.

This is the spot where the janaza (funeral) prayer is prayed at the Yeni Valide Cami (masjid) in Üsküdar.

The aya states that every soul shall taste death (21:35).

Sitting behind the sign and fence is a bright yellow-coloured generator.  One wonders that if it had a tongue to speak, what it might state as admonition.

Perhaps, “Don’t forget!  When the light of life is turned off, He will bring them back on.  Surely, that is a promise from the All-Powerful”

May Allah grant us life, the life of the one He loves to live and may He grant us death, the death of the one He loves to meet.
