{Quick Reflections 32} On the Death Bed

I was 21 years old full of vibrant untamed explosive energy that manifested itself in the form of rebelling against everything and everyone except Allaah (TWT), and also reckless driving. Allaah (SWT) willed that I live through a rare experience that lasted for a few seconds. While driving at my then usual 80-100km/hour in the heart of Cairo and during a maneuver to avoid a fatal collision a memory of my whole life with the very fine details flashed infront of my eyes. A few minutes after the incident was over safely I realized that our memories are much stronger than we imagine and never lose a single event that we have lived through. It just requires the suitable stimulus to bring back to life every single second of the past which is stored in our brains.
Now instead of facing that moment again at an unexpected time how about each of us puts him/herself on his/her death bed and think of his/her life. Is there something we regret doing? Is there something we want to change about ourselves? Is there something we wish we did but never actually gave ourselves the chance to do? What if i am to die after 3 days, what are the major decisions that i would make? What are the things that need urgent ammendment or correction? What will i do inorder not to have any regrets concerning my short life on this Earth?
