Son Nefes
Son nefes; buğusuz, berrak bir ayna gibidir. Her insan bu aynada, güzellikleri ve çirkinlikleriyle geride bıraktığı bütün ömrünü ve bunun neticesinde hazırladığı âkıbetini net bir şekilde seyreder. Son nefesin, âkıbetimizi pişmanlıkla seyrettiğimiz bir ayna olmaması için; Kur’ân-ı Kerîm ve Sünnet-i Seniyye’nin feyizli ikliminde, amel-i sâlihlerle müzeyyen, istikâmet üzere bir kulluk hayâtı yaşamak elzemdir. Zîrâ hadîs-i şerîfte:
“Kişi yaşadığı hâl üzere ölür ve öldüğü hâl üzere haşrolunur.” (Miinâvî,Feyzuı-Kadir,v,663) buyrulmaktadır.
Dünyada âhiret gerçeğinden habersiz yaşayıp nefsânî arzuları tahrik eden fânî ve gelgeç sevdâların câzibesine kapılmak, ebedî istikbâl karşısında ne korkunç bir aldanıştır!.. Böyle câhilâne bir hayat; çocuklukta oyun, gençlikte şehvet, erginlikte gaflet, ihtiyarlıkta elden gidenlere hasret ve binbir türlü nedâmet çırpınışından ibârettir. Necip Fâzıl’ın dediği gibi:
Yağız atlı süvâri, koştur atım, koştur!
Sonunda kabre çıkar bu yolun kıvrımları…
Bu yüzden, güzel bir kul olarak bu fânî âleme vedâ edebilmek için, sayılı olan nefesleri son nefese hazırlamak zarûrîdir. Zîrâ ölüm, kişinin husûsî kıyâmetidir…

Reminds me of my Turkish friend who has met Osman Nuri Topbas face to face at his house. She is lucky and she told me that Ustaz Dr. Osman Nuri's house has enlightening and peaceful ambiance that makes you feel like the place is the third best place after Mecca and our home. In this tiny book, the knowledgable Ustaz Osman gives reminder about the moment Izrail visits us. Even though the content is repetitive with what we have already known, it serves as a good reminder and resets our purpose and goal in life.

A short book..I took like 1hr+ to finish it and what I get from it is that Death is upon us every second so we need to make preparation for the real abode. Really now, we can live maybe up to a 100 but those before us have died for so Long...thousands of years have passed by..what about us then...what have we prepare for those upcoming thousands or few or more..
