The Strong amidst the sheep.
It has come to my attention that a friend of mine is nearing death; just touched the age of 21 and is diagnosed with an unknown illness which is slowly taking its toll on his bodily system.
Even moreso, after this incident he is immensely brave and courageous about it - he has infact accepted his fate. The abrupt transformation in character is phenomenal: from a callous, indifferent individual who saw religion as a means of escapism, his faith in Islam has been rekindled and sees his calling as a means of being closer to God and parting with the "sinful" world. He sees it not as an adversity or something hideously unfair; but an opportunity to inspire change with example.
He now is spending time with those who are less fortunate then you and I; those who are terminally ill and have no outlet of compassion to fall back on.
It is with a heavy heart that I salute you my dear friend; for you have become the best amongst us. I have nothing but adulation and respect for you. But know this, God takes and gives; and those who are called before their time have earned His Love and Mercy.

Moping leads to nowhere. Perhaps it is hardest to see past your impending lack of a future in the mortal universe and to help those who may be on a similar path; and perhaps once past the initial obstacle the road is then lined with beautifully crafted streetlamps that light up the path.
May he have a painless death, and hopefully he shall find solace in the heavens above.
InshAllah he'll find peace. And I'm sure that he'll be granted a place in Heaven. Allah Subhana'Wa'Talah just wants the best to be with Him.
