“Every soul shall have a taste of death. In the end to us shall you be brought back, but those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, to them shall we give a home in heaven, lotly mansions beneath which flow rivers, to dwell therein forever. An excellent reward for those who do good” Holy Quran 29:57-58

Death is not the enemy of life, but is a friend for it is the knowledge that our years are limited, which makes them precious.  Life begins…Life moves on…Life ends.  This is GOD’S Plan.
