Reflect on This Scenario
Imagine This:
If Prophet ﷺ was to stand outside your door and request a meeting with you… What would you do?
You would quickly dash inside to hide the Haram apparent in your house, the TV, the stack of Films on the shelf, the music CDs, the lewd books and magazines.
You would put the Dusty Qur’an you own on display, you would spare no effort.
_
So why do we neglect the preparation of the meeting with Allah ﷻ?
When Allah ﷻ can see us at all times, why are we not shy in front of Allah ﷻ?
Why do we not acknowledge that Allah ﷻ is watching us?
_
Allah ﷻ says in the Qur’an
الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ
Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth.
وَاللهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيْدٌ
And Allah is a witness over all things.
[85:9]
_
Allah ﷻ can see you!
Allah ﷻ knows what you do!
Yet me and you, we persist in our arrogance against Allah ﷻ, and we forget this.
We need to reflect, do we want to be of those who say on Qiyamah:
رَبَّنَا أَبْصَرْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا فَارْجِعْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا إِنَّا مُوقِنُوْنَ
Our Lord! We have seen and we have heard! Send us back, we will do good; surely now we are certain
[32:12]
And in another Ayah
يَقُوْلُ يٰلَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِىْ
They will say: Alas! If only I had sent forth my life!
[89:24]
_
There is no time for repentance on Qiyamah or at the time of Death.
_
Will you be of those who say
يَالَيْتَنِي لَمْ أَوْتَ كِتَابِيَهْ
O would that my book had never been given to me.
[69:25]
Or those who say
هَاؤُمُ اقْرَءُوا كِتَابِيَهْ
Lo! Here read my book!
[69:19]
_
Ya Ibn Adam! You will stand in front of Allah ﷻ regardless of your wish.
How you stand in front of Allah ﷻ on Qiyamah depends on if you stand in front of Allah ﷻ in the Dunya, and whether you fulfil your other obligations.
_
Ya Allah ﷻ forgive us all.
آمين
