Up until today, I didnt realize that we could really have a second life. A life in which we can get some of those not so great things we did in life replaced with something better.
We muslims CAN have a second life—as long as you work for it in this one…wa lillahil hamd!!!!
Ibn Al-Qayyim, rahimahullah, wrote concerning a hadeeth “This Hadeeth us one of the strongest proofs of the lofty status of knowledge and of the greatness of its fruits. The reward of knowledge continues to accrue for a man even after he dies, so long as people continue to benefit from the knowledge he imparted. Therefore, even after such a man dies, it is as if he continues to be alive….In fact, considering that others’ deeds come to an end when they die, it is as if he is being given a second life.”
[The hadeeth he was referring to is: "When a person dies his deeds are cut off from him except from three: perpetual charity; knowledge that continues to benefit; and a righteous son who supplicates for him" (Muslim #1631)]
