THE FINAL MOMENTS OF LIFE

🔴 THE FINAL MOMENTS OF LIFE 🔴

You are lying on the bed, feeling lost, uncertain of what is going to happen to you. You feel helpless, lifeless as your body has succumbed to weakness. Your family is by your bedside… weeping, praying for you, calling your name just to hear a response. But you can’t respond, as your tongue is becoming heavy, your vision is slowly fading. Everyone just staring, you have become the center of attention, but you wish you weren’t at this moment. Your breathing is becoming difficult by the minute, everyone is begging you to recite “La ilaha illa Allah”. You begin to realize that these are your final moments in life. You don’t want to acknowledge that there is no more tomorrow. You’re confound, it was only for a few weeks, days, hours I lived. Why has life deceived me ? At this moment you will come to perceive, that life was just a passing moment.
Regret overflows you as you ask yourself ‘Where will I be going ?’, How many sins have I not repented from?’ ‘What have I done to prepare myself for this very moment ?’. All that I have striven for in this life… my wealth, my properties, my career, my family… nothing will help me now. You begin to panic, remorse, wish you had one more chance to do good, one more chance to pray with concentration, to recite Quran, to fast another day, to help the needy, to just repent. But it’s too late now as you had many days to live, many chances to change.
The agony of death is starting to appear. You feel a tingling sensation in your feet, your soul is preparing to depart. You knew this day would come but you tried to avoid it, did not want to think about it. You would regularly hear on the news of someone dying, but you pretended this was a far reality for you . Accidents, illnesses, unknown causes. Death of the young, old, healthy, sick. But you continued to push the thought away and reassure yourself that you were safe, at least for the moment. You didn’t expect it to be this early, to be so unexpected. Your time is up, the angels are slowly descending, although sinful, you’re hoping for them to give you glad tidings, knowing that Allaah is All-Merciful, you only wish at this moment for forgiveness. Good bye soul. You will no longer return to this world as today you will return to your Creator. Today is when your real life begins.
May Allaah have mercy on us the day we die.
It’s time that we wake up from our heedlessness of the reality of death. We put so much effort to build our temporary life but we forget about the hereafter. Stop wasting time in that which will not benefit you and take advantage of every minute that passes by and live each day as it were your last. Truly the biggest loser will be the one who was deceived by this life and allowed it to settle within his heart.
O Allaah, do not take our souls except that you are pleased with us.

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will p
