 *Take Free Drugs*

[[--Episode 11--]]

بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم

Imagine the most terrifying day of your existence. The sun is burning above your head. You are standing in a crowd of billions, waiting for your judgment. Your whole life is in a book, and you are praying for even one good deed to save you.

On that day, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the man who you claim to love, will be standing before Allah.

He does not look at you with pride.

He does not smile.

His heart is broken.

He will not be talking about how much you prayed, fasted or listing your good deeds.

Instead, with a heavy heart, He turns to Allah and says the words that will shatter your soul:

وَقَالَ ٱلرَّسُولُ يَٰرَبِّ إِنَّ قَوۡمِي ٱتَّخَذُواْ هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ مَهۡجُورࣰا 

"O my Lord, my people have abandoned your book - Qur'an." 📚Al-Furqan 25:30

He is not complaining about his enemies. He is complaining about you—the one who calls himself a sincere Muslim.

In that moment, you realize he is talking about you.

What does "abandoned" mean?

It means the Qur'an was on your phone and your shelf, but not in your Agenda.

He will be complaining about YOU.

The Qur'an is your healing and your light in the darkness of this life. It is the rope Allah threw down to you to save you from uncountable troubles.

But what have you done?

You have abandoned it.

You have left it on the highest shelf, collecting dust. Yes. You find time for social media, for watching TV, for gossip, but you cannot find 10 minutes a day to read the Words of your Lord. Some Muslims don't even mind gathering trailer loads of sin from listen to music.

Slaves of Allah,

The Prophet (pbuh) spent his life delivering this message to you, and you have ignored it by not reading it everyday.

On the Day of Judgment, when you desperately need someone to speak for you, your own Prophet will stand as a witness against you because of your neglect of the Qur'an.

Remember,

The deep peace that money cannot buy is waiting for you in reading and listening to the Quran. The cure for all the troubles that eats at you is in reading and listening to its verses.

Now,

If you hardly find time to sit down at home or masjid to read Qur'an everyday, no problem. Yes. While going to your workplace, you can make use of the few minutes - 10 to 15 minutes it takes you to reach the destination to read even a minimum of 5-10 pages.

Meaning,

Going to work: 5 pages.

Coming back home: 5 pages.

That means you read 10 pages every day.

You can open a Quran App on your phone (if you are not the one driving). You can wear a nose mask. This will hide your lips so no one knows you are reciting. Read silently from your phone. Or, if you know some Surahs by heart, you can recite quietly behind your mask.

You can also make it a habit - playing Qur'an audio in your house always, especially from the time you go to bed till Fajr prayer time.

My People,

Your destiny in the Hereafter is in your hands. Yes. Do not abandon reading and listening to the Qur'an audio (everyday), before it abandons you on the Day when you will need it the most.
