About this bayan

A short and powerful bayan on muraqaba-e-maut, the contemplation of death. Hazrat Maulana Shah Fazlur Rahman Mahmood Sahab (DB) guides the listener to sit and reflect on the moment of death, the grave and the meeting with Allah, a practice so moving that even a hardened heart is drawn to repentance.

The Prophet ﷺ advised us to remember often “the destroyer of pleasures”. This muraqaba is a practice of the mashaikh to cure heedlessness and to prepare the heart for the Hereafter.

Themes for reflection

  • Remembering death as a cure for heedlessness
  • The grave and the first night after death
  • Turning to Allah in sincere repentance
  • Using the remaining time of life wisely
