Listening to this interview with Chester I genuinely feel sorry
for him. He was struggling with himself. He so much wanted to liberate himself
from within him. May God bless him and have mercy on him.
Certain lessons can be drawn from his life struggle. All deaths are there to be
looked into:
1). There is a God.
2). This life is not the end of life. It cannot be. Ask Chester's six children.
Ask them to tell what their heart depths testify or yearn for. Their heart
yearns for their great father in the best of health. The Hereafter ensures
a life of eternity together with our loved ones.
3). All things are in pairs. Night/Day, Husband/Wife, Male/Female ad infinitum. The
pair of this life is the life Hereafter.
4). Solace, peace of mind, the purpose of life, and the strength to bear the
brunt of life are NEVER EVER achieved through alcohol, drug abuse, etc. It never
helps. It only deteriorates the human condition.
6). Only when we relate this life with the life Hereafter through God do we find
solace, peace of mind, the purpose of life, and the strength to bear the brunt
of life.
7). Why? Because of the simple reason we stand with God and put our predicament
in God's hands. We then find God standing with us. Alcohol and drug abuse is an
erroneous way of finding this solace sans God. Please allow me to say, "It's
as simple as that!"
8). Where then do we find God? We find God in His Signs which abound around us.
God has spoken to us through His Divine Scriptures. The last one is the Qur’an.
9). Pick up the Qur’an. You will find God speaking to us
through it!
10). God guarantees in the Qur’an He grants solace, peace of mind, purpose of
life, and the strength to bear the brunt of life through His remembrance.
