Inna lillahi wa inna ilahi rajeun

(I heard this many centuries ago, but recently get reminded on the death of a loved one. Its not necesaary to agree on this but I always found fascination and element of thought in this statement).

"Tum jaante ho Islam is qadar 'addictive' mazhab kiun hai? Kiunke - Maut ka bara khauf hota hai. Har mazhab isi khauf ka ilaj chahta hai - magar saare mazahib main sirf Islam hi tha - jo kisi bhi maut pe 'closure' ki aik aesi kefiiat paida ker deta hai - ke uske manne wale khud ko apne parwadegar ke asal main wasil samjhne lagte hain - Aik 'Monorealism' ki si kaifiat".

(Personally, I believe these 2 ayats should be read in conjunction with each other (2:155 and 2:156 - but I guess that's another topic)
