the walking dead

We are very familiar with zombies, even though we have not actually met one. From the movies and tv shows we knew that these zombies appear to be alive but they are physically dead.

The word zombi was originally taken from a French Haitian folklore of which dead bodies were reanimated through various methods, most commonly magic. Nowadays however, the so called fictional phenomenon of zombies were normally as a result from some type of infection or from radiation, mental diseases, viruses, scientific accidents, and others.

The body of a zombi appears to be in a continuous state of decay. They seem to have no purpose of life except for insatiable  hunger to eat and craving for human flesh especially the brain. There seems to be no cure for these conditions, and the only way to eliminate them is to destroy them altogether.

However, in reality the real zombies or the walking dead among us are the ones who does not remember his Creator.

It is narrated that the Prophet said, “The similitude of someone who remembers his Lord and someone who does not is like that of the living and the dead.” 

Those who don't remember his Lord are indeed the real zombies in this world.

Allah knows best.
