🧕Meme2: Are you ready!?!
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Ready to mangle this meme? Sure.
👳♂️🧕Memes: WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??!!!
🧝♀️ Uh, besides the origination of this terribly morbid chain letter, it's really not for me to say.
👳♂️🧕 I woke up suddenly one night and saw a strange light in my room ….
🧝♀️ That could be anything from a digital clock on your nightstand to a satellite, star, moon, or daylight, rendered "strange" by your senses not being quite awake.
👳♂️🧕 The problem is that the lights are off I saw the clock, it was 3.30 in the morning Okay…so where is all this light coming from?? ———-
🧝♀️ So let's go with satellite or moon, maybe even a light coming from another building. If it was a streetlight, it would've been on when you had gone to sleep. Whatever. I don't care much about your "strange light" either way, since you're so determined to make something of it.
👳♂️🧕 I turned around and saw something very strange..
🧝♀️ First it's Strange lights, now strange visions, you must be dreaming.
👳♂️🧕 My body was half way through the wall (??!) I immediately pulled it out and sat down to see if I’m okay …..
🧝♀️ Heck of a bizarre nightmare by the sound of it.
👳♂️🧕 This is strange…
🧝♀️ Eh? You dream about being stuck halfway through a wall, and the only description you come up with is "this is strange"?
👳♂️🧕 I tried to push onto the wall, but MY ARM GOES THROUGH …
🧝♀️ So this wall is made of something soft or easily broken, or else you've become bionic.
👳♂️🧕 I heard a sound I turned to my brother’s bed to see him sleeping I was really scared of what was happening to me…
🧝♀️ I get it, you're having a scary nightmare. And it's taking place in you and your brother's room. Next?
👳♂️🧕 so I tried to wake him up….but….he doesn’t reply!!
🧝♀️ Because he's sleeping and you're having a nightmare.
👳♂️🧕 I went to m y parent’s bedroom..I tried to wake up my mother…and father…I just wanted somebody to react to me… but nobody did.
🧝♀️ So you're unheard, unseen, ignored in this nightmare, ignored by anyone but this weird wall and strange lights.
👳♂️🧕 I tried to wake my mother up again…she woke up this time… —– she got up … but didn’t communicate to me She was saying "In the name of Allah, most Merciful, most Gracious" (??? ???? ?????? ??????) again and again…
🧝♀️ That's not just strange, that's disturbing.
👳♂️🧕 She woke my dad up saying ‘get up, man, I want to check up on the kids.’ My dad replied in disinterest .. ‘it’s not time for this, let me sleep and inshAllah tomorrow I’ll get to that’ But she was insisting..so he woke up.
🧝♀️ After all that back and forth, he finally "woke up: you mean he had been arguing with her this whole time in his sleep?
👳♂️🧕 I was THERE. I was screaming..’dad’, ‘mum’ … nobody was replying I held mother’s clothes to grab her attention..but she didn’t recognise my existence I followed her ’till she got to my bedroom They got into the room and turned on the lights… it wasn’t making any difference e to me anyway because there was a strong light there. I then saw the strangest thing in my life…
🧝♀️ No, this has gone way beyond strange. Did I not mention the word 'disturbing' somewhere in the above already?
👳♂️🧕 my OWN BODY….on my bed.
🧝♀️ Okay, from disturbing to macabre. You weren't on some kind of meds at this point, were you? Because that can cause some crazy dreams.
👳♂️🧕 I was trembling…how can there be two of me??…how can that person look so much like me??…and what is he doing on my bed???? I started hitting/slapping myself to wake up from this nightmare… but it was too real to be a nightmare.
🧝♀️ No, they can seem real enough at the time, and eventually, you do wake up.
👳♂️🧕 dad said ‘Yalla, see the kids are sleeping. Let’s go back to bed.’ but mother wasn’t at all confident…she went to the person sleeping in my bed and said ‘Khalid, wake up!! … WAKE UP!!’ but he wouldn’t reply. She tried again and again….but no reply. Then i turned to see my dad tearing… Today witnesses the first time in my life that I have seen my dad’s tears.
🧝♀️ So you dreamt of seeing yourself suddenly gravely ill in bed, or some really expertly impersonator of you just took your place. Weird. You can wake up and end the story any time now.
👳♂️🧕 The place was shaking with the screaming … My brother woke up…"What’s going on??!" In a very sad tone, with tears rolling down her cheek, mother replied ‘your brother’s dead! Khalid is DEAD!!’
🧝♀️ Ugh, horrible nightmare, but especially for a kid.
👳♂️🧕 —— I went to mother and said ‘please mum…don’t cry..I’m right here look at me!’ But nobody’s replying to me..WHY??
🧝♀️ I repeat, ugh. Oh, hang on, where did the lights and wall go?
👳♂️🧕 I turned to Allah and asked Him to wake me up from the nightmare!
🧝♀️ Huh? Allah's there too?
👳♂️🧕 quickly following my dua was a voice saying (Quran): " You were in negligence from this, so We uncovered the blinds and today your sight is (like iron) " ??? ??? ?? ???? ?? ??? ?????? ??? ????? ????? ????? ???? لقد كنت في غفلة من هذا فكشفنا عنك غطاءك فبصرك اليوم حديد
🧝♀️ Eh? Fatal error, message not disceiferable, Does not compute.
👳♂️🧕 Suddenly two creatures held my arm..they weren’t human!!
🧝♀️ ah, back to a more normal, less disturbing dream.
👳♂️🧕 "Leave me ALONE! Who are you and what do you want from me??"
🧝♀️ You creatures heard him, now be gone!
👳♂️🧕 ‘We’re your grave’s guards’
🧝♀️ no you're not, you're just a couple of freaks in a wingdinger of a nightmare.
👳♂️🧕 I said ‘but I’m not dead yet! let go of me!!’ I can still see, hear, touch, and speak..I’m not dead!
🧝♀️ That's true, but you weren't even awake when all this was going on in your mind.
👳♂️🧕 They replied with a smile : "You humans are fascinating! You think that by dying your life ends, while in fact life on Earth is a small dream compared to the Here after; a dream that ends at your death."
🧝♀️ Hey losers! Cut the tude, or I will give you "fascinating" and you may not like it. First you say life is a dream that doesn't end with death, then you say it ends with death, you can't keep your crap straight.
👳♂️🧕 They started pulling me towards my grave…
🧝♀️ Truly suckish dream.
👳♂️🧕 On the way I saw people just like me, each had two guards like mine. Some were smiling, others crying, others screaming. I asked the guards ‘why are they all doing that?’ They replied ‘These people now know their fate…some were in ignorance so they–’ ‘–so they go to Hell??!’ I interrupted They said ‘yes.’ and continued..
🧝♀️ Well that sure isn't nice, damning people for mere ignorance. It's not as if these people were all sadists going around torturing and killing one another, or even telling each other to go to hell - which is something I will never wish on someone, even as a joke.
So just what kind of ignorance got these people damned? Ignorance of algebra? World geography? Politics? Islam? And what about people who actually haven't even heard of Islam? If they haven't heard of it, it's not fair sending them to hell. Actually, hell is IMO unfair for anyone, though I sure don't want torturers going to heaven either, but - hell? I have a problem with that. Anyway, not getting into that one too much here. It seems you Islamic chain originators are fixated on the hereafter and who ends up saved and who gets damned. Not only that, but the possibilities of damnation are threatened for very little or no good reason.
👳♂️🧕 ‘and those laughing are going to Heaven’ I quickly replied: ‘What about me..where will I go??’
🧝♀️ So just how are these weird freak guards going to answer that one? Or do I even want to know?
👳♂️🧕 They said ‘you were at times a good Muslim, while other times not. One day you obey Allah, the next you disobey Him. And you weren’t clear with yourself and your fate will remain so: lost.’
🧝♀️ So just what the heck is "lost"? Obviously not heaven. This kid wasn't perfect, so you creeps toss him into a nightmare threatening him with being on a waiting list to probably hell? Nice. NOT! He's just a human, moreover, just a kid. I really detest you chain angels!
👳♂️🧕 I replied, shaking: ‘SO AM I GOING TO HELL??’ They said: ‘ Allah’s mercy is great, and the journey is long ‘ I turned to see my family carrying my dead body in a coffin..so i ran to them .. I said: ‘make dua for me’ but nobody replied.. I went to my brother and warned him .. ‘be careful with what you do in this life… don’t be a fool like myself!’ I was really hoping that he could hear me…
🧝♀️ Look, I get it already, you had a horrendous nightmare about an out-of-body experience. Can it end now? Soon? Preferably sooner than later. There's only so much I can say about something that just drags on saying the same thing for paragraphs.
👳♂️🧕 The two angels (guards) tied up my soul on top of my body ..
🧝♀️ With what?
When you die, your soul and body separate. At least, I've always understood the afterlife that way.
👳♂️🧕 I saw my relatives pouring sand over me .. —-
🧝♀️ I repeat, a royally suckish nightmare, especially for a kid. What kind of harsh environment has traumatized him to the point of having such an appalling dream?
👳♂️🧕 at that moment I was hoping that I would be in their place… that I can turn to Allah and do as much as He wants from me… that I would ask for forgiveness and once and for all repent my sins that angered Him…
🧝♀️ you know, this is not looking good for your Allah. According to this chain, he's not merciful, he's a head-gamer who is easily angered, and thinks nothing of threatening little kids with possible damnation for not being absolutely perfect, and failing to follow every single rule/demand written down centuries ago by some prophet who thought he could improve on Christ by bringing back an older, more Pharisee type system.
👳♂️🧕 but unfortunately I couldn’t. I shouted ‘ People, don’t let this life tempt you! Wake up to the truth… one day you will DIE, and you never know when..or how. ‘ I hoped for somebody to hear me….nobody there did
🧝♀️ Look, I get it already, I get it I get it, I really do. You cried out and nobody heard you and you shouted out and nobody heard you. You've been doing that throughout this whole horrible nightmare story. I got that, you know, I got that already. I got it. I just don't want it!
👳♂️🧕 but YOU heard me….
🧝♀️ No. Your story and claim just don't add up.
You are not some ghost wandering around, unable to be heard by your own family, who you are closest to, yet somehow manage to make yourself heard by me, who doesn't know you from Adam.
You awoke, and decided to make a chain letter about the horrible dream you had. Your nightmare didn't go from something inside your head during sleep, to a chain letter posting on the internet without your actively putting it there. You wouldn't be using the internet if you were dead.
👳♂️🧕 save yourself.
🧝♀️ Yeah - I hope to, but can't do that on my own.
👳♂️🧕 Smile to others,
🧝♀️ Sorry, no guarantees. I'll smile when I feel like it and am pretty sure not smiling at everyone is not a damnable offence.
👳♂️🧕 forgive them when you have the power to punish them.
🧝♀️ Seems to me your Allah is the one needing to take that advice.
👳♂️🧕 Allah forgives those that forgive others.
🧝♀️ So why did you end up on Hell's waiting list then? Little kids shouldn't be punished for unforgiveness, they haven't lived long enough to fully develop emotionally and shouldn't be held responsible for merely being imperfect human beings as all us normal people are. And by normal, I mean people who are not sociopathic, sadistic, narcissistic etc. anyway, to get forgiveness, people do have to really be sorry for what they've done, and ask to be forgiven… You can't expect mere humans like us to be better than God at this.
👳♂️🧕 Do your prayers regularly with an open heart.
🧝♀️ Well, I'll admit I'm not exactly what you'd call regular with that, but I do pray, and mean what I pray.
👳♂️🧕 Let Allah guide your life, not Satan.
🧝♀️ I have a saying - make no time for Satan. I follow this to the point where I do not even write Satan-themed fiction. I had the hardest time ages ago on an rpg list where some people kept writing Satan into their stuff, having their characters go into hell and come back out again with harrowing tales about their encounters with demons and how the devil was their father or some such drivel.
👳♂️🧕 Read the Quran regularly and let the Prophet (p.b.u.h) be your role model in life.
🧝♀️ No, thanks.
👳♂️🧕 Work in this timed life for your salvation in an eternal one.
🧝♀️ All anyone can do is try.
But here's an alternative. this is not a real story, no Muslim had a NDE, it is a script in a video. But it still sounds a lot less harrowing than Muhammad/Allah's way.
👳♂️🧕 And … make dua for me because I’m not perfect.
🧝♀️ No one is. But I don't make dua. It just isn't within any of my customs.
👳♂️🧕 And I point the above to myself just as much as I do to my friends.
🧝♀️ Too bad you thought putting it in a chain letter was the way to go.
👳♂️🧕 Please spread this message to as many people as possible, for every person whose heart it touches Allah will reward you in this life and the hereafter.
🧝♀️ So, if I spam everybody with this morbid thing, and only one person out of, say, 200, is "touched" while the rest are put out, that isn't going to give me much in the way of rewards from allah or anyone else. No sending from here.
👳♂️🧕Keep 👳♂️Chain1: thinking of the Hereafter inshallah .
🧝♀️ Not obsessively. There's keeping it in mind, and then there's thinking of nothing else. Two very different things.
🧕Meme2: the chain GOING.
🧝♀️ No. So very much no.
Here are some testimonies of Muslims who had NDEs with their accounts of terror, grace, hope, and miracles.
Over and out.
