Prepare For That Day

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate

The ending of Surah An-Naba describes a frightful scene of the Day of Judgment. On that Day none can speak except those who are permitted by Ar-Rahman and those who are given permission to speak, they will only speak the truth. That is indeed the Day of Truth. It is going to happen and there is no denying it. So we had better prepare for that Day. It is not that far away, the eternal world of the next from this temporary one. That Day is just a blink of an eye away. The one with no faith will regret and say "Oh, I wish that I were dust!" The pleasure that we are having is not worth anything if we don’t prepare to meet Allah on that Day.

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الرُّوحُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ صَفًّا ۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا ﴿٣٨﴾ ذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْحَقُّ ۖ فَمَن شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ مَآبًا ﴿٣٩﴾ إِنَّا أَنذَرْنَاكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ الْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ الْكَافِرُ يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنتُ تُرَابًا ﴿٤٠

The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct. (38) That is the True Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return. (39) Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!" (40) [Quran, An-Naba 78:38-40]

May Allah make our meeting with Him on the Day the best of our meetings. Aameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.

And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.

Wassalaam
