If you were told that you were going to die in a week's time - what would you do that week?

Answer 1

light up and settle down with a nice book, a lovely cup of coffee and some chocolate biscuits, only a couple though as we have the ongoing obesity problem to think about.

Answer 2

Okay so I have one week to live. First I would make arrangments so that when I did die my ashes would be dumped on my exhusband's head. Or maybe someone could bake a pie with a few additional ingredients and drop it off on his door step. Just so i would get the last laugh.

Now I will be serious. If I had one week I would want to make sure that my family was taken care of. That all my affairs would be in order including spending time with each person telling them how I feel about them.

I would go swim with dolphins in Florida and I would go sky diving. Those are two things I have always wanted to do but haven't.

Answer 3

I'd probably kill myself .. to prove the prediction wrong. There isn't much that can be done in a week, other than enjoying life .. and I believe that should be done all the time.

The people I love know it; I have done just about everything I always wanted to do; I have done no wrongs which need to be righted ...

.. I think I would just embrace death in the same way as I embraced life ... and wait to see what happens.

Answer 4

Spend time with my family, walk the hills on the South West coast of England. Write passionately on my blog about my love of life, eat good food, dance, listen to music and remain convinced that the verdict may change. I would be also take time to be still and to wait and to treasure every breath, to look at the Light inside me.I might want to cry in the arms of the one who holds me. Mean.while....there's a life to live and fresh trout on the menu tonight

Answer 5

What is the Purpose of Life?
So what does the Creator, Allah, tell us about our purpose in life? Allah states in the Quran that He created man to be His Khalefah, His trustee on earth (Quran 2:30). Mankind’s basic trust, our responsibility, is to believe in and worship Allah:

And I did not create the Jinn and mankind except to worship Me… (Quran, 51:56-58)

Very simple! The purpose for man’s creation is to worship the Creator. The essence of Allah’s message through all of the prophets also was: O mankind, worship Allah, you have no deity other than Him. (Quran, 7:59,65,73,85; Also 11:50,61,84; and 23:23,32). Allah further states that He made this life in order to test man so that every person may be recompensed after death for what he has earned:

[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving. (Quran, 67:2)

But in order to worship Him, we have to know Him well otherwise we may form a distorted concept of Him and then go astray. In the Quran Allah tells mankind what He is and what He is not. For example, in response to a question about Allah that was posed to the Prophet Muhammad , Allah instructs Muhammad to give the following reply:

Say (O Muhammad): He is Allah [Who is] One, Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent. (Quran, 112)

It is clear from this that Muhammad is not the author of the Quran otherwise he would not have shown that someone is dictating to him what to say.

Also, Allah has to tell us how He wants to be worshipped, which He does in the Quran. He also tells us in the Quran that all Prophets came with the same identical message to their people - that is to believe in Allah and to worship Him. He also tells us in the Quran that all the people of other religions have deviated from the original teachings of their prophets. This is due to two reasons. The first is that earlier scriptures were not preserved simply because of the absence or scarcity of writing paper and so the teachings were transmitted orally and with time became distorted. The second reason is because the clergy of various religions introduced doctrines that were never there (e.g., the Christian trinity creed was introduced only after the council of Nicea in 325 AD and the Council of Constantinople in 386 AD). Because of the changes that crept into earlier religions, Allah tells us that He sent the Prophet Muhammad as the last and final prophet and guidance to mankind with a scripture that He promised would be preserved forever. Allah provides a test to prove that the Quran is from Him. Allah says:

Then do they not reflect upon the Quran? (i.e. its meanings and its objective) If it had been from [any] other than Allah, they would have found within it much contradiction. (Quran, 4:82)

The Quran is available for scrutiny and investigation by any person to try to find even one error or contradiction in it. In fact this test must be applied to any other scripture that claims it is the word of God.

Run up a massive debt by going out partying and drinking at lapdancing clubs eat till I burst. Tell everyone what I REALLY think of them and then find religion.

Before that though I would make sure my wife knew how much I love her.

Answer 7

Damn...Felixstowe stole my answer! Take out a horrendous Barclay loan - than turn up at Lloyd's with cap in hand also, then have fun with as many women as possible. Frequent the finest restaurants with the best caviar on show, and a trio of 1949
750ml Château Cos d'Estournels winking, wanting me to take them home, with five ounces of Columbian Gold ganj and Karen Carpenter waiting for me when I arrive. But closer to home...
...I'd shoot the two bullies who were at school with me (1965-70...won't mention the school for fear of being sued) - who thought it was good to throw cups of piss at us as soon as we got dried after coming out of the shower after P.E.

Then pull out my Rosary and spend the last hours talking to God
