🔻 If we do not have the power to “change our thinking,” what will we be faced with when dying?
🔸One part of controlling our minds involves #changing our #thinking from matters, which we often naturally pay attention to. Of course, this is very hard to do, because there are many concerns that deeply engross a person’s thinking.
🔸Human beings are selfish creatures. When people have pains or problems, they do not think about anything else! That is why it has been said in the traditions to be careful that Satan doesn’t take away your #faith at the moment when you are dying. Because, that moment is the peak of a person’s pain.
🔸At that moment when we are dying, Satan entices us, “See, #God is taking away your life. God is doing this!” He tries to make people disbelievers at that moment when they are dying. He wants to create anger and animosity in people’s hearts toward God.
🔸The #likings that you have in this world but you think this is not important, will come to your mind at the moment when you are #dying! They will become big and important for you. Therefore, you are not able to detach yourself and leave these likings behind!
🔸The difficulty of dying is due to your attention becoming separated from your worldly likings. It is a terrifying moment. However, a person who is used to #crying for Husayn (as) has a great asset. Whenever a person thinks about him, he/she forgets him/herself. This is #Husayn…
