We Don't Know What Tomorrow Will Bring

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

We respect people. We don't look down upon anyone, whoever that person might be. It could even be a disbeliever who hates Islam. He could be the one who Allah will give the ability to defend Islam and you are the one who will be humiliating Islam with your own bad examples.

We are not judgmental of others when it comes to guidance because they are as helpless as us. We don't know where they are going to be and where we are going to be. Today you are praying but you don't know what is going to happen to you tomorrow. The truth is tomorrow is more important than today because the way you die is how your fate is sealed. You don't know how you are going to die. You don't know how the one across you is going to die either. Although today you are praying and he is doing haram you don't know what life events are going to bring to you and how you will respond to them. You don't know what is going to find interesting and boring tomorrow. It might well be that he changes his habits and you change your habits and he is better than you.

We are needy of Allah for guidance. Only Allah guides. If Allah doesn't keep us firm in our iman, perfect it in our hearts and make it beloved to us, we don't know what is going to happen to us, where we will be, what actions we will be doing. No matter how great our actions might be now we always needy of Allah. That is why when we do the good we look at Allah.

We don't attribute good to ourselves. We don't pat ourselves on the back. We turn to Allah for that good always. We are not proud of our good deeds. We didn't create the things that inspired us to do good. Allah made them easy for us. So, thank Him. If you are grateful, Allah will increase you. When you slipped, blame yourself because that is the only way you keep improving. Don't feel guaranteed that if you are good today and if Allah doesn't help you tomorrow, you will be good tomorrow because you need Him in every moment. We always fear what tomorrow will bring and ask Allah for a good ending.

"...O Creator of the heavens and the earth! You are my Protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Take my soul (at death) as one submitting to your Will (as a Muslim), and unite me with the righteous." Surah Yusuf 12:101

And Allah knows best.

Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.
Wassalaam
