Please take time to read this golden reminder.

 Please take time to read this golden reminder. By a late 

Kuwaiti writer Abdullah JarAllah (ra):


I will not worry upon 

my death nor be 

unduly concerned 

about my body 

for my Muslim brothers will do the needful.


1- يجردونني من ملابسي...

They Will disrobe me


2- يغسلونني...

And wash me


3- يكفنونني ...

And enshroud me


4- يخرجونني من بيتي ...

And take me from my home


5- يذهبون بي لمسكني

 الجديد ( القبر ) ...

And they will carry 

me to my new abode (the grave)


6- وسيأتي الكثيرون لتشييع جنازتي...

And many will come 

to participate in my Janaaza


 بل سيلغي الكثير منهم أعماله ومواعيده  لأجل دفني ...

Many of them would have taken time 

off their jobs or cancelled appointments in order to attend 

my burial.


 وقد يكون الكثير منهم لم يفكر في نصيحتي يوما من الأيام ...

And most of them 

would not have reflected 

a day over my advice...


7- أشيائي سيتم التخلص منها ...

My belongings will be disposed of...


مفاتيحي ...

my keys


كتبي ...

my books


حقيبتي ...

my briefcase


أحذيتي ...

my shoes


ملابسي وهكذا...

my clothes and so on


 وإن كان أهلي موفقين فسوف يتصدقون بها لتنفعني ...

 And if my family are amenable, 

they will donate it 

(my things) 

to benefit me..


تأكدوا بأن الدنيا لن تحزن علي...

rest assured, 

the world would not mourn my passing


  ولن تتوقف حركة العالم  ...

and the movement of the world wouldn't stop


واﻻقتصاد سيستمر ...

and trading will continue


ووظيفتي سيأتي 

 غيري ليقوم بها  ...

and someone else will do my job


وأموالي ستذهب حلالاً للورثة ...

and my wealth will be lawfully inherited 

by my heirs


بينما أنا  الذي سأحاسب عليها 

!!!whilst I will be taken 

to task for it: 

a little, or a lot, 

nothing unaccounted 

for


 القليل والكثير ...النقير والقطمير ... 

و إن أول ما موتي هو اسمي !!! 

The first thing I will lose upon death will be my name; 

that is why upon my death they will ask: "where is the body?"


لذلك عندما اموت سيقولون  عني أين " الجثة "..؟

ولن ينادوني باسمي ..!

and they will not call me by my name


وعندما يريدون الصلاة علي سيقولون احضروا "الجنازة" !!!

When they want to perform the salat 

they will say: 

"bring the bier", 

and they will not 

call me by my name! 


ولن ينادوني باسمي ..!

وعندما يشرعون بدفني سيقولون قربوا الميت ولن يذكروا اسمي  ..!

And when they are 

ready to bury me, 

they will say 

"bring the deceased..." and they will not mention my name...


لذلك لن يغرني نسبي ولا قبيلتي ولن يغرني منصبي

 ولا شهرتي ...

Due to this I will not 

be deceived by lineage, 

or my tribal affiliation and neither my status nor fame will beguile me...


فما أتفه هذه الدنيا وما أعظم ما نحن مقبلون عليه ...

How insignificant this world is, compared to what we will face 


 فيا ايها الحي الآن  ... اعلم ان الحزن عليك سيكون على  ثلاثة أنواع:

O, YOU WHO ARE ALIVE RIGHT NOW, 

KNOW THAT SORROW FOR YOU ARE OF 

3 TYPES:


1- الناس الذين يعرفونك سطحياً سيقولون مسكين

Those who really knew you, and they will say (miskeen)


2- أصدقاؤك سيحزنون ساعات أو أياماً ثم يعودون إلى  حديثهم بل وضحكهم 

2. Your friends who will remain sad for hours 

or days, then they will return to their discourses and entertainment


3- الحزن العميق في البيت

سيحزن أهلك أسبوعا... أسبوعين شهرا... شهرين أو حتى سنة

وبعدها سيضعونك في أرشيف الذكريات!!!

3. Deep sorrow at home. Your family will be sad for a week or two, 

a month, two months 

or even a year after which you will be 

but a memory...


انتهت قصتك بين الناس

وبدأت قصتك الحقيقيه وهي الآخرة 

Your story ended amongst people, 

but your real story just began, and its the hereafter...


 لقد زال عنك: 

1- الجمال ...

2- والمال ...

3- والصحة ...

4- والولد ...

5- فارقت الدور...

والقصور

6- والزوج ...

You have  been 

divested of beauty, wealth, health, 

children, houses, 

castles and wife...


ولم يبق معك الا عملك

وبدأت الحياة الحقيقية 

And nothing remains with you except your deeds (that you 

used to do). 

And you have now begun the

 "real" life...


والسؤال هنا :

ماذا أعددت لقبرك وآخرتك من الآن ؟؟؟

The question here is what have you PREPARED for your grave and your 

hereafter FROM NOW? 


هذه حقيقة تحتاج الى تأمل ... 

This reality needs some deep reflection


لذلك احرص على :

so safeguard


1- الفرائض ...

the  fard prayers 

and duties


2- النوافل ...nafl/ voluntary works


3- صدقة السر ...

secret charity


 4- عمل صالح ...

Good deeds


5- صلاة الليل...

the tahajjud


لعلك تنجو 

so that you may 

be saved


 ان ساعدت على 

تذكير الناس بهذه المقالة 

وانت حي الآن

ستجد أثر تذكيرك

 في ميزانك يوم القيامة

 بإذن الله...

If you helped remind people through these utterances, 

while you are alive presently, 

if Allah wills, 

you will find the effect 

of your reminder 

in your scale 

of good deeds 

on the Day of Judgement.


 (وذكّر فإن الذكرى تنفعُ المؤمنين)  

And remind, most certainly, reminding 

is fruitful for the believers


لماذا يختار الميت 

“الصدقة”لو رجع للدنيا why do you think the dead wish to perform charity if they return to the Earth? As Almighty 

has stated: "

Oh my Lord if only you gave me 

a little respite, 

I would surely give 

in charity 


كما قال تعالى

( رب لولا أخرتني إلى أجل قريب فأصد

ولم يقل : 

He didn't say


 لأعتمر 

I'll perform umrah


او لأصلي 

Or so I could pray


 أو لأصوم 

Or so I could fast


قال العلماء : 

ما ذكر الميت الصدقة إلا لعظيم ما رأى من اثرها بعد موته

The ulema said that 

the dead mentioned charity due to what (s)he saw of its great effect after his / her death


 فأكثروا من الصدقة 

SO GIVE PLENTY CHARITY

   

ومن افضل ما تتصدق به  

الآن  10 ثوان 

من وقتك لنشر هذا الكلام بنية النصح

فالكلمة الطيبة صدقة.

And the best of charity you could possibly 

do at this moment 

is to spend 10 seconds to forward this advice 

as a reminder; 

afterall a good 

word is a charity💐.

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 ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 3rd day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Tuesday, 26th August 2025. *_THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF_*. BismilLah.  Islam encourages Muslims in general to stand out among people, readily distinguishable by their dress, appearance and behaviour, so that they will be a good example, worthy of the great message that they bring to humanity. According to the hadith narrated by the great Sahabi Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) told his Companions, when they were travelling to meet some brothers in faith: "You are going to visit your brothers, so repair your saddles and make sure that you are dressed well, so that you will stand out among people like an adornment, for ALLAH (SWT) does not love ugliness." Reported by Imam Abu Dawud, 4/83, in Kitab al-libas, bab ma ja'a fi isbal al-izar. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) considered an unkempt and careless appearance, and scruffy clothes and furnishings, to be...
