🕊️ 7/8 - The Taste of Mortality In our hyper-connected digital age, we're building virtual legacies, but the truth remains: our time is limited. Every action becomes a choice: Will this heal relationships? Create charity ripples? Express love for the Divine's sake? #BarakahSeeker #DigitalAge #Choice #Relationships #Purpose

🕊️ 6/8 - The Taste of Mortality The Prophet spoke of three deeds that outlive a person: - Beneficial knowledge shared - Ongoing charity established - Righteous children who pray for parents These aren't just obligations - they're blueprints for meaningful impact. #BarakahSeeker #Prophet #Legacy #Impact #Deeds

🕊️ 5/8 - The Taste of Mortality Ibn Jawzi wrote about "working for the hereafter" - death as a flood requiring us to embark on "ships of righteousness" rather than clinging to mountains of false hope. The wise person "acquires provision of good deeds before the time of return comes." #BarakahSeeker #IbnJawzi #Wisdom #Preparation #Righteousness

🕊️ 4/8 - The Taste of Mortality I was forced to confront this reality when my uncle passed in a road accident in Bangladesh. He died with my cousin; his son survived. As a young adult, this was my first major family tragedy. All theoretical understanding became viscerally real. #BarakahSeeker #Loss #Bangladesh #Family #Grief

🕊️ 3/8 - The Taste of Mortality The Quran uses "taste" to describe death. Taste is immediate, personal, undeniable - one of our first experiences as infants, how we learn to distinguish nourishment from harm. Perhaps this is why divine text chooses this sense to describe our final transition. #BarakahSeeker #Quran #Reflection #Senses

🕊️ 2/8 - The Taste of Mortality I've noticed how family members begin saying "After I die..." or "Before I die..." at certain life stages. These aren't morbid obsessions but practical acknowledgments of reality. In interdependent communities, these reminders are woven into daily life - gentle nudges toward urgency. #BarakahSeeker #Family #Community #Urgency

From 'Diary of a Barakah Seeker' - Chapter: The Taste of Mortality 🕊️ "Every soul shall taste death, and you will only receive your full reward on the Day of Resurrection..." - Quran 3:185 There are conversations families avoid, topics that make everyone uncomfortable. Death is one of them. Yet it's the most universal human experience. #BarakahSeeker #Mortality #Quran #Purpose #Thread1/8

🧵 7/7 - The Thread That Binds This connection taught me that courage isn't always dramatic gestures. Sometimes it's simply showing up consistently, maintaining connections when it would be easier to let them fade. The thread that binds us runs deeper than friendship - it's woven from shared origins, mutual respect, and enduring commitment. Alhamdulillah ✨ #BarakahSeeker #Courage #Commitment #Alhamdulillah

🧵 6/7 - The Thread That Binds Both our parents are now in Bangladesh, facing age-related health challenges. We accept what we cannot change while taking responsibility for what we can control. There's a particular wealth in relationships like this - not measured in currency, but in shared experiences and quality time. #BarakahSeeker #Parents #Responsibility #Wealth

🧵 5/7 - The Thread That Binds Today, Saf is married and makes regular trips to Melbourne to spend time with our family. What started as official visits became opportunities to create new memories. The beauty lies not in convenience or immediate benefits, but in persistence - weathering changes in geography and life circumstances. #BarakahSeeker #Family #Persistence
