وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْيِي وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحْنُ الْوَارِثُونَ
“Indeed it is We who give life and bring death and We are the inheritors.” 15:23
Al Waarith reminds us of where we come from and what we will take with us as inheritors.
LEAVING A LEGACY
Leaving the world a better place that the way you found it.
It is that which is inextricably linked with your mere mention. In essence it is how you wish to be remembered.
Imagine your funeral—no matter what your age. Your family and friends have gathered to honour your life. But what do you leave behind? Beyond the contents of your last will and testament, what part of you remains on earth even after you’ve passed away?.
A legacy is that which you create to benefit future generations – something you may not even see in your lifetime.
If we reframe our actions by thinking of the future impact we can create, it can inspire us to do great things.
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.”
