In this episode, I share a deeply personal and life-altering experience that happened to me while I was in Medina on the 27th night of Ramadan. After waking up to a black shadow creeping across my vision, I faced a sudden medical emergency: a retinal detachment that threatened to take my eyesight permanently.

Lying on the operating table and waiting for the general anesthetic to take effect, I experienced a profound moment of clarity. As my consciousness began to fade, I found myself reflecting on the fragility of life, the reality of death, and the critical importance of how we spend our limited time on this earth.

Tune in as I discuss:

• The sudden medical emergency of my retinal detachment and why you should never ignore changes in your vision.

• What it felt like going under general anesthesia and why it served as a powerful reminder of our eventual passing.

• Facing the "Day of Regret" and what thoughts consumed me when I thought I was about to die.

• How we build our professional CVs for this world, and what it means to build a meaningful spiritual portfolio to present before the King of Kings.

• Understanding the Prophet’s warning regarding the seven calamities that can disrupt our ability to do good deeds.

• The unfathomable beauty of Jannah and why every single second of our worldly life counts toward our eternal destination.
