Time is of the essence...
Allah's mercy encompasses everything. He did not create us and leave us to roam. He sent us Prophets and Books to guide us. Not only that, He created for us occasions and opportunities. The 4 sacred months (Dhul Qaidah, Dhul Hijjah, Muharram, Rajab) and Ramadhan, five months of unique opportunities to really strike it big and take it home. Are we going to take advantage of these opportunities?
3 of the 10 BEST DAYS of the Islamic year have passed. Whether we take advantage of these days or not, they will pass very quickly.
If you were upon a sin, repent and then focus on worship. If you have improved in your worship, then work on becoming a true Muslim in all encompassing word. If you have become a true Muslim, then work on becoming a true believer, a Mu'min. And if you have attained that level, then go for excellence (ihsaan). So we are constantly moving forward, not backward.
Allah puts us here for a finite time. So, time is of the essence. We understood this in the worldly business context but when it comes to the next life, we keep on putting off doing the things that will help us in our graves and beyond.
May Allah give us safety and tranquility. Aameen.
