On Remembering Death By Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali
Shaykh Abdullah Ali’s faithful translation of a section concerning the meditation of death from Ibn Rajab’s famous work on yearly devotions is much needed in our culture of forgetfulness. He has chosen a work of immense value to introduce to speakers of English. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, ‘Make much mention of the Destroyer of Delights’ – meaning death. This is not a morbid reflection but rather one that reminds us that the gift of life is fragile and fleeting, and its foremost purpose is as a preparation for the Hereafter. All things end including this world, but what is coming never ends. In remembering death as a daily practice, one is reminded to use each and every day successfully as a preparation for eternity. This wonderful work is an excellent place to start.
