Death is the Solution...

Rest in Peace

There are moments in life when the weight of existence feels unbearable—when the heart grows tired of trying, the mind begs for silence, and every breath becomes a burden. In such moments, death whispers softly, "I am the end of pain, the cure to suffering, the door to peace." And truly, at times, it feels like death is the solution.

It is death, dear to me,
To wind off all the miseries of life.
It is death, dear to me,
A solution to all the problems of life.
It is death, dear to me,
A heaven easy to gain.

And yet… I chose otherwise.

I chose to carry the weight.
I chose to walk the harder road.
I chose to stay.

Why?

Because Allah taught me something deeper. He taught me that death is not an escape—it is a passage. A beginning, not an end. A door not to oblivion, but to accountability. To truth. To consequences. Death does not erase suffering—it exposes its meaning. It does not delete the soul—it delivers it.

“Every soul shall taste death.”
— Qur'an 3:185

This verse is not a threat. It is a reminder. Death is certain—not because life is cruel, but because life is meaningful. Every moment of pain, every trial, every test… matters. It echoes beyond this world.

There is a strange beauty in knowing that our choices now ripple into eternity. That our burdens are not pointless. That every step we take toward goodness—even when it hurts—is recorded. Witnessed. Rewarded.

Yes, death may seem like a shortcut to heaven. But real heaven is not gained through escape. It is earned through endurance, faith, and struggle.

So I bear the burden.

I walk through darkness, not because I love pain, but because I love what pain can lead to—purity, patience, and proximity to the Divine. I stay not because life is always sweet, but because meaning is always present, even in bitterness.

In a world obsessed with ease, I choose the harder path—the path of surrender, the path of patience, the path of submission to Allah. It is the path less traveled, but the only one worth taking.

Because death is not the solution anymore.
Allah is.
