God has created this world with love and care...God will always be there to protect his own creation.. Negative energies can only cause damage but can never destroy everything or overcome God.

My last wish would be peace in the world with no violence, hatred, biases and discrimination. Total equality and brotherhood. My last activity would be to stay by my family and pray for forgiveness.

Ending of the world is not a matter (it will end one day by the order of Allah), what matters is that I should seek refuge of Allah against all my sins and pray for the forgiveness for myself as well as all the Muslims (now and always).

Surprising, nobody said any thing about spending their last days with the idol of their eyes in the film industry? Not me I, at my age am beyond that.All I want is to go to bed and never get up.Die in peace.

People are so worried about the end of the world,all of us are one death due,so if it is on 'doomsday' or in a car accident or illnes or heart attack,it doesnt matter.The most important thing is that I am ready for eternal life.Every day is a gift.Live it to the fullest without sin.....

I look forward to it.. I didn't make much of this world anyways. I did not enjoy life, I did not make a family, I did not make much money, I do not have a social life and I do not drink alcohol. Frankly speaking my life sucks. I was told that leading a life with abstinence will bring bliss to the next life. Whether it's true or not, I don't know. All I know is that my life sucks, and it couldn't get worse if the world ended tomorrow.
