My immediate neighbour, the husband, had passed on a week and 2 days ago. Paid a visit to her yesterday. Looking very calm and collect she narrated to us what had happened before he passed away. He has had a heart problem for a long while, that we know. He has slowed down his activities I presume but daily if am at home and outside the house I would see him walking slowly to the mosque nearby our house before the azan for prayers came on, according to the wife he takes a long while to walk there. We can actually see the mosque from our house. Everyday before subuh prayers he would request his wife to accompany him on that short walk just incase he collapsed on the way saying noone will see him if he collapse because its dark. Of course both would always do their jamaah almost on a daily basis at the mosque. This had gone on for many years since he pensioned at 55 I presume, he was 69 when he passed on.
What I have to share here is simply amazing. But before that a day before he left us, he was vomitting blood which they reckon was because the blood was thinning due to the medication subscribed earlier when he was in and out of hospital about three weeks before. He however had a good week at home after he was discharged and insisted that he and wife goes back to his hometown on that Monday. Due to the vomitting on Thursday at midnight, he was hospitalised and the chidren were all called back to the 'kampung'. He was admitted in ICU and the doctors gave the news that he was weak and was just waiting to go. After losing a lot of blood and with a weak heart, they could not do blood transfusion. However he came out of his weakest state and was able to talk. He asked for forgiveness from everyone who came to visit, he remembers everyone, he even asked for forgiveness from his children and from the youngest who already has three children, still managed to advice his only and unmarried son and when his wife asked for forgiveness he uttered she has no sin with him for he has forgiven her a long time ago. From her stories they were not just husband and wife but they were best friends, married for 43 years. When reminded to say shahadah he did without any problem in his alert state of mind, repeating subhanallah again and again. Masyallah... He literally managed to say goodbye to all his loved ones, and at asar when his heart failed him he left them except never to say see you again insyallah... What a way to die in 'Khusnul Khatimah'. Masyallah..Masyallah..Masyallah.. For all of us who still remain on this earth, its a reminder of what we should be doing with our lives in order to die in 'Khusnul Khatimah' - a truly good ending. May Allah grant us a good life and a good ending to it as only with his Grace it can happen...Subhanallah.
