I will not worry upon my death nor be unduly concerned about my body for my Muslim brothers will do the needful.
1- يجردونني من ملابسي...
They Will disrobe me
2- يغسلونني...
And wash me
3- يكفنونني ...
And enshroud me
And take me from my home
5- يذهبون بي لمسكني
الجديد ( القبر ) ...
And they will carry me to my new abode (the grave)
6- وسيأتي الكثيرون لتشييع جنازتي...
And many will come to participate in my Janaaza
Many of them would have taken time off their jobs or cancelled appointments in order to attend my burial.
وقد يكون الكثير منهم لم يفكر في نصيحتي يوما من الأيام ...
And most of them would not have reflected a day over my advice
My belongings will be disposed of...
مفاتيحي ...my keys
كتبي ...my books
حقيبتي ...my briefcase
أحذيتي ...my shoes
ملابسي وهكذا...my clothes and so on
وإن كان أهلي موفقين فسوف يتصدقون بها لتنفعني ...
تأكدوا بأن الدنيا لن تحزن علي...rest assured, the world would not mourn my passing
ولن تتوقف حركة العالم ...and the movement of the world wouldn't stop
واﻻقتصاد سيستمر ...and trading will continue
غيري ليقوم بها ...and someone else will do my job
وأموالي ستذهب حلالاً للورثة ...and my wealth will be lawfully inherited by my heirs
بينما أنا الذي سأحاسب عليها !!!whilst I will be taken to task for it: a little, or a lot, nothing unaccounted for
و إن أول ما موتي هو اسمي !
The first thing I’ll lose upon death will be my name; that is why upon my death they will ask: "where is the body?"
لذلك عندما اموت سيقولون عني أين " الجثة "..؟
ولن ينادوني باسمي ..! they’ll not call me by my name
وعندما يشرعون بدفني سيقولون قربوا الميت ولن يذكروا اسمي ..!
And when they are ready to bury me, they will say "bring the deceased..." and they will not mention my name...
لذلك لن يغرني نسبي ولا قبيلتي ولن يغرني منصبي ولا شهرتي ...
فما أتفه هذه الدنيا وما أعظم ما نحن مقبلون عليه ...How insignificant this world is, compared to what we will face
O, YOU WHO ARE ALIVE RIGHT NOW, KNOW THAT SORROW FOR YOU ARE OF 3 TYPES:
1- الناس الذين يعرفونك سطحياً سيقولون مسكينThose who really knew you, and they will say (miskeen)

وبعدها سيضعونك في أرشيف الذكريات!!!
3. Deep sorrow at home. Your family will be sad for a week or two, a month, two months or even a year after which you will be but a memory...

ستجد أثر تذكيرك في ميزانك يوم القيامة بإذن الله...
If you helped remind people through these utterances, while you’re alive presently, if Allah wills, you’ll find the effect of your reminder in your scale of good deeds on the Day of Judgement.
لماذا يختار الميت
“الصدقة”لو رجع للدنيا why do you think the dead wish to perform charity if they return to the Earth?
كما قال تعالى
( رب لولا أخرتني إلى أجل قريب فأصد
ولم يقل : He didn't say
لأعتمر I'll perform umrah
او لأصليor so I could pray
أو لأصوم or so I could fast
ما ذكر الميت الصدقة إلا لعظيم ما رأى من اثرها بعد موته
The ulema said that the dead mentioned charity due to what (s)he saw of its great effect after his / her death
فأكثروا من الصدقة so GIVE PLENTY CHARITY
فالكلمة الطيبة صدقة.
And the best of charity you could possibly do at this moment is to spend 10 seconds to forward this advice as a reminder; afterall a good word is a charity💐.
