Dear Friends
I pray that you are well.
How time flies! That's what we say usually when we are having fun. But nowadays, time flies regardless whether you are having fun or not. Reminder: This coming Friday is our next monthly khatm of the Qur'an, please complete your recitation of the Qur'an before 7pm Friday April 16 inshaAllah. We will read the last juz together after Maghrib and du'a afterwards. InshaAllah.
It feels like it was just yesterday we did our March khatm. SubhanAllah. This is indeed one of the signs of the Judgment Day is near. Do you know what will happen on the Day of Judgment? Read Surah Al-Waqi'ah--it is a good reminder inshaAllah.
"When the Terror descends (and none denies its descending) abasing, exalting, when the earth shall be rocked and the mountains crumbled and become a dust, scattered, and you shall be three bands -- Companions of the Right (O Companions of the Right!) Companions of the Left (O Companions of the Left!) and the Outstrippers: the Outstrippers...Qur'an Al-Waqi'ah/The Imminent 56:1-10
What have you prepared for this? Are you still not praying or praying the same way you prayed 10 years ago or a week ago? Are you still fighting with someone or holding grudges? Are you still thinking about buying that big house?
Your "work" in this life will never end. Your to-do basket will never empty. And it will still be something in that basket even on the day you die. The difference is what you fill your basket with. If you fill your basket with the world, then you will be terribly sorry when that day comes.
"...The day that men shall be like scattered moths, and the mountains shall be plucked wool-tufts. Then he whose deeds weigh heavy in the Balance shall inherit a pleasing life but he whose deed weigh light in the Balance shall plunge in the womb of the Pit. And what shall teach thee what is the Pit? A blazing Fire!" Qur'an Al-Qari'ah/The Catastrophe 101:4-11
May Allah help us remember, praise and worship Him well, and let us be steadfast in the right path all the time. Ameen. Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.
Wassalaam
