As an Islamic perspective, I would like to offer some insights that may help alleviate this fear.
Barbara, you pose a thought-provoking question: "If you knew you were dying, would you tell your family?" This question highlights the importance of prioritizing our relationships with our loved ones.
From an Islamic perspective, the answer to this question is a resounding "yes". In Islam, we are taught to prioritize our relationships with our families and loved ones. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "A believer should not hate his brother in faith; he should not be so much as to wish him evil" (Bukhari). This hadith emphasizes the importance of maintaining positive relationships with our fellow believers.
Furthermore, Islam teaches us to always seek forgiveness from our loved ones if we have wronged them. The Quran states, "And those who invoke not any other deity along with Allah, nor kill anyone whom Allah has forbidden except in retribution for a crime, and whoever is killed unjustly – We have given his heir authority, but let him not exceed in killing; indeed, he will be helped" (25:68). This verse highlights the importance of seeking forgiveness and making amends with our loved ones.
In conclusion, I believe that Islam provides a more comprehensive understanding of the importance of prioritizing our relationships with our loved ones. As you, Barbara, so eloquently put it, "The truth is, we don't know when we'll die, and it's the unknown that makes us hesitate." But as Muslims, we can take comfort in the fact that our faith encourages us to prioritize our relationships and seek forgiveness from those we have wronged.
I understand your perspective on the importance of prioritizing our relationships with our loved ones, Barbara. I believe that Islam provides a more comprehensive understanding of this concept.
