Human beings are living in this world. He has everything in this world: house, car, children, friends, neighbours, food and drink, etc.  Then suddenly the angel of death comes and takes him away. This is a compulsory eviction. He is taken to a deserted place which has nothing at all. He leaves behind a world full of possessions and meets a desert of eternity in front. 
If a man realizes that suddenly everything will be taken away from me and I will be taken to a place which has nothing at all, except if God again sends down His mercy upon me. 
If a person has this feeling, he will become very serious. But people are not serious these days. No has fear of death. The information of death is not contained in the DNA. But if people all around me are dying, I must know that I will also die. What makes a person most sincere is death. 
Death means that everything will be suddenly taken away. Whatever you have, home, chair, friends, family, neighbour, food and drink, car, wealth, business, service -- everything will suddenly be taken away. You will be all alone. What will happen to a person at that moment?
I was telling a person that I went to Israel. The airplane landed on the Tel Aviv airport. I was expecting a Dr Ronaldo to receive me at the airport. 
But after the plane landed, I couldn’t find Dr Ronaldo. I was extremely worried. I knew no one and didn’t have the address of any person nor telephone number. Where should I go, I thought. I had no hotel reservation. I was running around at the airport. Finally, I left the airport in anxiety. Generally, tourists don’t leave the airport. But due to anxiety, I left. I had no telephone number to contact nor any address. Dr Ronaldo was there and when he couldn’t find me, he too left the airport premises to search for me outside. Then I finally met him and he took me in his car. 
I have had many such experiences. When I think about this, I intensify it a billion times and realize that I will be totally helpless, homeless, familyless. I will have nothing at all. This is when a person becomes sincere. Every individual has to Islamize himself. This is not a matter of society or government. It is about you. First of all, you have to Islamize yourself. 
The Quran says, O believer, believe in God. This means, believers Islamize yourself once again. This is God's command we have to follow.
