🏵️🏵️🏵️ Dear Raja, your writing has sparked a profound reflection on the impermanence of life and the importance of cherishing our relationships. Your words have resonated with me, and I am compelled to share my perspective from an Islamic viewpoint.

In Islam, we are reminded of the fragility of life and the certainty of death. The Quran says, "Every soul shall taste death" (Quran 3:185). This realization should urge us to prioritize our relationships and use our time wisely. Just as you highlighted the importance of cherishing our connections with loved ones, Islam emphasizes the value of nurturing those bonds. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "You will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another." (Sahih Muslim)

From this perspective, I urge you to extend your compassion and empathy to all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances. Treat each person with kindness and respect, just as you would want others to treat you. As the Quran says, "And live with them in harmony and kindness" (Quran 4:19).

Let us strive to make the most of the time we have and invest in building strong relationships that bring joy and comfort to our souls. May we all find solace in the words of Allah, "And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out" (Quran 65:2).

May your words be a reminder of the beauty of human connection and the importance of living each day with purpose.
