KAG:

Um, didn't Marx pen "The Paper Maiden" when he was in twenties? This is typical of several of the quotes that have appeared in this thread. If I remember correctly there's even a quote that is attributed to an atheist, and called his last words that is different from another attributed to the same person in another thread.

You may be right that Karl Marx didn't utter those words at his death bed but the fact remains that he did say those words after he became a socialist and eventually a communist if not a satanist.  It is not on record that he retracted those words before he died.  What is on record is this quote that he said to his housekeeper shortly before he died:

Go on, get out - last words are for fools who haven't said enough.

To his housekeeper, who urged him to tell her his last words so she could write them down for posterity.
~~ Karl Marx, revolutionary, d. 1883

@olaadegbu: i heard jesus said at the dinner table long before the 'crucifixion' that he finished all that God sent him to do. but the below is your task, unless you wanna put more pressure on your ego.

Who among the three spoke one or both of the last words below;

Jesus the anointed or Simon who carried the cross to the end after Jesus stumbled or Jesus the son of the father {bar abbas mean "son of the father"}?

1]. It is finished

2]. Father [Or God] to your Hands i commit my spirit.

@All; I want to know the truth, if olaadegbu is too timid to tackle this simple task. trip over one another in giving us which words were spoke by which person.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ is it 'it is finished' or 'in your hand do i commit my spirit'?

which one after it he gave up the ghost?

ghost again? is one ghost 'holy ghost' enough?

olaadegbu, what will you give up; ghost or soul?

Sweetnecta:

Is "my God, my God, why thou forsaken me?" not a bad statement from a believer?

Those words of Jesus recorded in Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34 were the fulfilment of David's prophecy in Psalm 22:1, and if you read verse 3 you will find out why God the Father forsook Jesus the only begotten Son on the cross "But you are holy . . . " A holy Creator cannot have fellowship with sin. When Jesus was on the cross, the sin of the entire world, including yours and mine, was laid on Him (Isaiah 53:6; 2 Corinthians 5:21), but the Bible says God is "of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look on iniquity" (Habakkuk 1:13).

^^^^^^^^^^ you sing too much of a sad song.

your topic is last word[s of famous people. your bible recorded two different words for jesus. jesus is famous. i asked which is the last words. i know i could have said 'are or were', but 'words' here is sentence.

now, Olaadegbu, you skipped around before without answering. you turn around later to not answering still, but give me explanation of obviously a bad dose of 'my God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?'. as if it will justify an obvious disbelieving statement!

imagine if David or any prophet or even when John son of Zacharias was going to be beheaded say this words. he will be correct in the my God, my God part. but people in christendom will point it out that the 'why has thou forsaken me?' part is a statement of low or unsure faith in God! until you can apply this to jesus, you will stay in your confusion.

yet, you cant even just tell me which of the two is the last words of jesus on the cross! continue to kid yourself. 30 years ago, it may have been cute or funny that you kidded yourself. you are now 30 years older. the same principle does not apply to you, but somebody 30 years younger/

in another 30 years you will have to accept that someday,you will die while you mr. invincible now is not thinking about it today, when the deadline of rapture expires many times on you, and you die as very old man.

at death reality will set in; you will able to see jesus son of mary [as], as who he was, a messenger of his Lord. like pharaoh, it will be unacceptable and serves as a regret when you finally realize that you have left guidance of God for the seductive way of satan who made the concept of trinity, man God, death on the cross, etc very attractive and plausible to you. satan is truly a deceiver. but his ways are weak if you have guidance from God Almighty.

Olaadegbu say am holy as if that will make me look bad.

it is obvious that i am not, if jesus said no one is good except God.

my prayer however is that God will give me strength when death comes to me as my last word to say there is no deity along with God.

this will be head and shoulders above why has thou forsaken me, which is exactly saying why are you letting me die.

if you come to existence you must also perish from existence.

"I am in flames!"

I wonder if you are just a deliberate liar or if you are just terribly misinformed. when you read stuff in whatever websites where you get your information it would help you immensely if you then did some follow up research on the things you read.

The Death Of David Hume
Letter from Adam Smith, LL.D. to William Strachan, Esq.

Kirkaldy, Fifeshire, Nov. 9, 1776.
DEAR SIR,— It is with a real, though a very melancholy pleasure, that I sit down to give some account of the behavior of our late excellent friend, Mr. Hume, during his last illness.

Upon his return to Edinburgh, though he found himself much weaker, yet his cheerfulness never abated, and he continued to divert himself, as usual, with correcting his own works for a new edition, with reading books of amusement, with the conversation of his friends; and, sometimes in the evening, with a party at his favorite game of whist. His cheerfulness was so great, and his conversation and amusements run so much in their usual strain, that, notwithstanding all bad symptoms, many people could not believe he was dying. "I shall tell your friend, Colonel Edmondstone," said Doctor Dundas to him one day, "that I left you much better, and in a fair way of recovery." "Doctor," said he, "as I believe you would not choose to tell any thing but the truth, you had better tell him, that I am dying as fast as my enemies, if I have any, could wish, and as easily and cheerfully as my best friends could desire."

Mr. Hume's magnanimity and firmness were such, that his most affectionate friends knew that they hazarded nothing in talking or writing to him as to a dying man, and that so far from being hurt by this frankness, he was rather pleased and flattered by it. I happened to come into his room while he was reading this letter, which he had just received, and which he immediately showed me. I told him, that though I was sensible how very much he was weakened, and that, appearances were in many respects very bad, yet his cheerfulness was still so great, the spirit of life seemed still to be so very strong in him, that I could not help entertaining some faint hopes. He answered, "Your hopes are groundless. An habitual diarrhoea of more than a year's standing, would be a very bad disease at any age: at my age it is a mortal one. When I lie down in the evening, I feel myself weaker than when I rose in the morning; and when I rise in the morning, weaker than when I lay down in the evening. I am sensible, besides, that some of my vital parts are affected, so that I must soon die." "Well," said I, "if it must be so, you have at least the satisfaction of leaving all your friends, your brother's family in particular, in great prosperity." He said that he felt that satisfaction so sensibly, that when he was reading, a few days before, Lucian's Dialogues of the Dead, among all the excuses which are alleged to Charon for not entering readily into his boat, he could not find one that fitted him; he had no house to finish, he had no daughter to provide for, he had no enemies upon whom he wished to revenge himself. "I could not well imagine," said he, "what excuse I could make to Charon in order to obtain a little delay. I have done every thing of consequence which I ever meant to do; and I could at no time expect to leave my relations and friends in a better situation than that in which I am now likely to leave them. I therefore have all reason to die contented." He then diverted himself with inventing several jocular excuses, which he supposed he might make to Charon, and with imagining the very surly answers which it might suit the character of Charon to return to them. " Upon further consideration," said he, "I thought I might say to him, Good Charon, I have been correcting my works for a new edition. Allow me a little time, that I may see how the public receives the alterations." But Charon would answer, "When you have seen the effect of these, you will be for making other alterations. There will be no end of such excuses; so, honest friend, please step into the boat." But I might still urge, "Have a little patience, good Charon; I have been endeavoring to open the eyes of the public. If I live a few years longer, I may have the satisfaction of seeing the downfall of some of the prevailing systems of superstition." But Charon would then lose all temper and decency. "You loitering rogue, that will not happen these many hundred years. Do you fancy I will grant you a lease for so long a term? Get into the boat this instant, you lazy loitering rogue."

He had now become so very weak, that the company of his most intimate friends fatigued him; for his cheerfulness was still so great, his complaisance and social disposition were still so entire, that when any friend was with him, he could not help talking more, and with greater exertion, than suited the weakness of his body. At his own desire, therefore, I agreed to leave Edinburgh, where I was staying partly upon his account, and returned to my mother's house here, at Kirkaldy, upon condition that he would send for me whenever he wished to see me; the physician who saw him most frequently, Dr. Black, undertaking, in the mean time, to write me occasionally an account of the state of his health.

On the 22d of August, the Doctor wrote me the following letter:

"Since my last, Mr. Hume has passed his time pretty easily, but is much weaker. He sits up, goes down stairs once a day, and amuses himself with reading, but seldom sees anybody. He finds that even the conversation of his most intimate friends fatigues and oppresses him; and it is happy that he does not need it, for he is quite free from anxiety, impatience, or low spirits, and passes his time very well with the assistance of amusing books."

I received the day after a letter from Mr. Hume himself, of which the following is an extract.

Edinburgh, 23d August, 1776.
MY DEAREST FRIEND,—I am obliged to make use of my nephew's hand in writing to you, as I do not rise today.

"I go very fast to decline, and last night had a small fever, which I hoped might put a quicker period to this tedious illness, but unluckily it has, in a great measure, gone off. I cannot submit to your coming over here on my account, as it is possible for me to see you so small a part of the day, but Doctor Black can better inform you concerning the degree of strength which may from time to time remain with me. Adieus" etc.

Three days after I received the following letter from Doctor Black.

Edinburgh, Monday, 26th August, 1776. .
"DEAR SIR,—Yesterday, about four o'clock, afternoon, Mr. Hume expired. The near approach of his death became evident in the night between Thursday and Friday, when his disease became excessive, and soon weakened him so much that he could no longer rise out of his bed. He continued to the last perfectly sensible, and free from much pain or feelings of distress. He never dropped the smallest expression of impatience; but when he had occasion to speak to the people about him, always did it with affection and tenderness. I thought it improper to write to bring you over, especially as I heard that he had dictated a letter to you desiring you not to come. When he became very weak, it cost him an effort to speak, and he died in such a happy composure of mind, that nothing could exceed it."

I've always felt that dying in mid orgasm is the best way to go.

@Olaadegbu; the God of christianity is truly an unforgiven God, or it is the christians who are lacking in what 'forgiveness' is.

saddam hussaine [ra], if your thought is that he is destined for fire, then truly you did not realize how what he said is more superior to 'my God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?' or you did not consider how direct and decisive that statement from saddam was compared to what the others in your list said, coupled with what the al sadda hang men were saying during the hanging?

no one except whom The Almighty had forgiven will be calm as saddam was, on the day of id facing death will have the consciousness of Allah and remembrance of the Messenger [as], letting death capture his soul with the Kalimah of shahadah 'laa illa ha ilAllah' on his tongue. this is a big victory on him, while others die that there is closed casket on their funeral because the bodies are horror to see!

even a shia who hated saddam with person will want to die with the same exact words that Allah made easy for saddam to say effortlessly while the thugs of bagdad were yelling al sadr as if al sadr will not want to say the same thing saddam said.

~~ Saddam Hussein d.

http://users.belgacom.net/gc674645/grave/lastword.htm

yessir, that must be because that is the website I got it from. When I was looking for the information source, I found it. That I quoted the mohammad saying is not an argument because it was obvious that I was only making a jibe and I was not expected to be taking with scholarly seriousness.
Having said that, I ought to be more restrained with my criticisms of you, it could be that you are only joking too.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ such untruth from olaadegbu and others about the messenger [as].

if we give time line of his passing, we will see that the Angels of his Lord came to honor him and asked if he wished to remain on earth, by Allah's permission. but what must a messenger do when his mission is already completed, if he opted for such worldly dwelling?

would he not be going against his own mission which states 'all souls shall taste death' and messengers have died in the past?

moses [as] was allowed to take as many years as his wide palm could cover of hairs on the back of his mount. and when it was told to him after that he will die, he said death now. yet moses is stationed in the 6th heaven, while ibrahim [as] is on seventh and muhammad is the noblest of all.


if jesus in the second heaven, awaiting his final death on earth says the below [i wonder if it is story they are repeating to us, or the last 'word"?], should what muhammad [as] be less, based on how Allah has elevated him from the Quran? can anyone make a statement about muhammad, except it must agree with the Quran, hadith, sirah [the hadith and sirah as related by his companions [as]]? how do the occidentals get what muhammad [as] said? were they there, or they got it from his wife on whose laps his head rested as he passed? 'Allah forgive my sin, i am coming to you' is not a bad statement because it shows humility and eagerness of wishing to meet. do sinners want to meet the one who will be harsh with him? when you wish to me the one you love, it is a manifestation of that love.

honest dialogue would have contacted the islamic sources and them know that it will never be less noble than the below.

Jesus Christ:
Jesus, after a long morning of torture and a 3 hour lasting excruciating crucifixion, He first forgave his Roman enemies from the cross, saying: "Father forgive them, for they don’t know what they do!" Then he granted eternal life to a repentant thief that was crucified beside him, saying, "Today you shall be with me in Paradise" After the Father's Spirit left Him as He died for the sins of the world, he said, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me!" Then He said "It is finished!" and after He had cried out with a loud voice, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit"—He gave up the ghost!

^^^^^^^^^^^ i wonder when the 'then' will finally give us the final word? from what i read here, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me is a sign of disbelief, when before that he granted eternal life and after that finally Father into your hands i commend my spirit. this all thing seems as if going and coming out of belief. a true prophet of God will not be such a disbeliever in action and speech. imagine the 'only' way to God showing such a disbelief? i think the whole thing need a retake.

Sweetnecta:

@olaadegbu: i heard jesus said at the dinner table long before the 'crucifixion' that he finished all that God sent him to do. but the below is your task, unless you wanna put more pressure on your ego.

@Olaadegbu; [Quote]It appears that you could not see what SeanT21 posted, see how the link Pastor AIO suggested and read what Jesus said before He died and rose again because it doesn't appear that you are true Muslim going by the way you ridicule your supposed "prophet".[/Quote]whatever i write is not in criticism of Injil or Seyiddina Isa bin Maryam [as]. this you already know, if you didn't here is it for you.

pastoraio in my opinion lacks manners the reason i dont care about his wayward style of responses.

what your topic is as far as i see it is the last sentence of famous people. if in the case of biblcal jesus you wanted to flip the script and tell a story instead of the last sentence, we can see why you will not say anointed when it comes to jesus but will not say massiah about others when anointed and massiah is the same exact thing.

read the below excerpt, while i will not say Jesus did not get hang except that the evidence of it is in the Bible, agreeing with what the Quran says, unless you wanna forget Simon of Cyrene and Jesus son of the father [bar abbas], and the dead does not have flesh and bone;

[b]One day Ka'b Akbar asked the Second Caliph "What did the Prophet say just before his death?" The Caliph pointed to the Commander of the Faithful, who was also present in the meeting, and said: "Ask him". Ali said: "While the head of the Prophet was resting on my shoulder, he said: "Prayers. Prayers." Ka'b Akbar then said: "This has been the way of the previous Prophets also''. Tabaqat, vol. II, page 254.

During the last moments of his life the Prophet opened his eyes and said: "Call my brother so that he may come and sit by my side. All those present understood that he meant no one other than Ali. Ali sat by the side of his bed but felt that he wanted to rise from his bed. He therefore lifted the Prophet from his bed and made him rest on his own chest. Tabaqat, vol. II, page 263.

Soon afterwards signs of death began to appear in his sacred body. Someone asked Ibn Abbas: "In whose lap did the Prophet breathed his last?" Ibn Abbas replied: "The Prophet departed while his head was in the lap of Ali." That person added: "Aisha claims that when the Prophet breathed his last his head was resting on her bosom. Ibn Abbas contradicted her claim and said: "The Prophet breathed his last in the lap of Ali and Ali and my brother Fadl bathed his body." Tabaqat, vol. II, page 263.

In one of his sermons Imam Ali has mentioned this matter in these words: "The Prophet breathed his last when his head was on my chest. I bathed his body while the angels were assisting me". Nahjul Balaghah.

A number of the traditionalists have quoted that the last sentence which the Prophet uttered before breathing his last was: "No. With the Divine Companion”. It appears that at the time of his last breath the Archangel Jibreel gave him the option either to recover from the illness and return to this world or the Angel of Death might take out his soul and he might proceed to the next world, and lead his life there along with the persons, who have been alluded to in this verse: These are with those upon whom Allah has bestowed favour from among the Prophets and the truthful and the martyrs and they are the best friends that one can have. (Surah al-Nisa, 4:69)
The Prophet uttered the above sentence and passed away. A'lamul Wara' page 83.[/b]

No; i do not want to remain on earth

and

To the Divine Companion; i want to go to God

are not statements you expect to hear from the one who does not love his Creator and his Creator does not love him greatly.

such a person who was washed by the like of Ali bin Abi Talib [ra] and assisted by Angels, could not have anyone who ever walked this earth having a higher ranking of nobility than him in the Sight of The Most Merciful.


@olaadegbu; the prophet [as] did not complain or lament. you need to see wisdom in that.

Alexander the Great, who had conquered land from Macedonia to Pakistan, died at the age of 33, with his boots on, weeping:

"There are no more other worlds to conquer!"
