The most intelligent of the believers are those who remember death a lot and prepare for it

The Holy Prophet (saw)

Thank you for this, it helped me prove a point. Here it is below on occasion of the Prophet’s death this Islamic date of Rabi Al Awwal the 29th 1433. 
 “The most intelligent of the believers are those who remember death a lot and prepare for it” — The Holy Prophet (SAW)

While life is a wondrous thing, we must remember death and what a better occasion to do so than to commemorate the Prophet’s Death. As it has been noted, Surah Ya’seen is not only for the dead, but a reminder to the living. If your parents/brother/sister/child/spouse dies, do you not cry for them? In the same way, cry for your prophet and remember him. The celebration of his life should be daily, while commemoration is one day, surely tears can be spared for him.
