Do we learn anything from the dead we bury?

You have buried the dead but haven’t taken a lesson or guidance from it.  
- Sufi Saint Ibrahim Adham

-Isn`t this the case today? We all too well forget those who passed on and buried with our own hands while engaging in this life`s deceit and deception, forgetting how fragile and short while this life is...yet we plan for it, fight over it, hoard it and for what? What parts of this world, this dunya to we take with us to the grave and to the good Lord? Do we line our graves like Egyptian pharaohs for the afterlife? No, all we take as Muslims is the 2 kuffans (the burial shroud) and thats it. Where`s all the millions you hoarded, all the riches, the cars, iphones, apple products, designer clothes, houses, food...etc? Where are they now to help you in the grave? -RSA
