THE BEST FORM OF INVESTMENT IN ISLAM

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad. 21st day of Dhul-Hijjah, 1444AH (Sunday, 9th July, 2023).

*_THE BEST FORM OF INVESTMENT IN ISLAM_*. BismilLah. 

Many of us seem to spend an incredible amount of time and energy chasing the dream job. Afterall, a bigger paycheck often translates into a better car, a bigger house and a higher worldly social status. Each of us is dreaming such big which also includes good beautiful wife, wealthy husband etc.

But we are warned about this in The Qur’an where ALLAH says  *Alhaakumuttakaathur hatta zurtumulmaqaabir*

“Rivalry in worldly increase distracts you (from the remembrance of ALLAH), till you come to the graves” (102: 1-2).

“Your wealth and your children are but a trial, and ALLAH has with HIM a great reward.” (64:15). 

Ever think of the results of all of your worldy efforts?

”It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.” (79:46). READ AGAIN PLEASE. 

Have you ever stopped for a minute and considered building a house for yourself in Jannah instead of in dunya? 

”ALLAH will build a house in Jannah for whoever is diligent in observing 12 Sunnah rakaats daily (as follows: 2 before Fajr, 4 rakat before and 2 after Dhur, 2 after the Maghrib, and 2 after Ishaa).” (Tirmidhi). Do we do these? 

Yet worries and anxieties are dominating our lives so much so that many of us have even missed a few obligatory prayers for some worldly reason and also offer our salaat late because we are busy chasing money we will die and leave behind. Have we forgotten our appointment with the Angel of Death? Our meeting with ALLAH? Is not funny that all your efforts on earth will one day be left for inheritance and you will be accountable for all things you acquired which others enjoy after your death but you are accountable to all and maybe PUNISHED whilst others including those you hated are enjoying it as inheritance. Let's think twice and focus on investment that will benefit us when we die which can be today or even within the next few minutes SubhaanAllah. *_May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any illnesses_*. Aameen.
