Dear Khawar Bhai,
It’s not fear of death, nor an obsession with God, that compels me — but rather a conscious preparation for what lies beyond. Death is not the end; it’s merely a doorway to a life far more real, far more enduring than this fleeting existence. And the signs of that eternal life surround us — in creation, in conscience, and in revelation.
To live without preparing for that reality would be, to me, a deeper form of negligence than fearing death itself. I don’t wish to stand before God armed only with wishful thinking or imaginative comforts. I want to arrive with some inner certainty that I took this life — and the next — seriously, not sentimentally.
The book I gave you reflects this struggle and hope. It attempts, however imperfectly, to wrestle with these eternal questions — not with fear, but with resolve.
So no, I’m neither obsessed with death nor with God — just deeply aware of a truth we all must face. And I want to face it with peace, not surprise.
Warm regards,
Aamir Yazdani
