Allah ﷻ says in the Qur’an:
أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ اللَّه
Has the time not come for the believers to soften their hearts with the remembrance of Allah?
[57:16]
_
My dear brothers!
Why do you think chasing women and acting Hard makes you a real man?
_
And my dear sisters!
Why do you think letting men use you, dressing and looking immodest, makes you a proper woman?
_
We have been on this earth for a short period!
Time is going fast!
Has the time not come for us to wake up?
Before we know it, either Death or Old age will come to us.
Suddenly, Salah has to be done sitting down, Sleep begins at 8:30 PM, walking to the masjid is too difficult, reading Qur’an is too straining for the poor old eyes.
_
Then what?
The inevitable Death!
_
Do you not see that huge reality coming to hit you?!
As Allah ﷻ says
أَيۡنَمَا تَكُونُواْ يُدۡرِككُّمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ وَلَوۡ كُنتُمۡ فِي بُرُوجٖ مُّشَيَّدَةٖۗ
“Wheresoever you may be, death will overtake you even if you are in fortresses built up strong and high!”
[4:78]
_
You all know Death is heading towards you, and you’re running away with it with the distraction of this Dunya and sins!
But yet you don’t take Heed!
As Allah ﷻ says
وَ مَا الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا اِلَّا مَتَاعَ الْغُرُور
And what is the life of this world except for a Delusion?
[3:185]
_
Open your heart!
Let the light of Islam fill your heart,
So when that reality finally hits you,
You’ll embrace it with contentment because you know that Allah ﷻ has prepared Jannah for the believers.
_
And we start, now.
While we can, without hesitation!
If not now, then when?
_
Because once we see the Angel of Death and the reality is revealed to us, repentance will form on our lips, but the opportunity will have left with our soul.
_
And then what will you do, if you spent your life away from Allah ﷻ?
And how much greater is your sadness, knowing this before Death came and not heeding till after you saw death, and not repenting after Death had conquered.
_
If you already practice, keep efforts up lest you stagnate and don’t go forward!
_
May Allah ﷻ guide us, protect us from temptations and grant us a beautiful death.
آمين يا رب العالمين
