Let's Read Surah Kahf Today (Friday) -- Remember Your Beginning

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

When we read the Qur'an, it should change us immediately and we should rush to leave the bad and rush to do much good. Why shouldn't we? Because Hell is definitely not a fun place. It is a place of pain and misery. Paradise is eternal bliss. 

The truth is Paradise and Hell are real but how many a people forget this, and so they go about this life as if there is no end. Allah can change our states at any moment and if we are at the top, He can bring us down, and if we are down, He can take us up. So remember Him day and night.

Paradise and Hell are just around the corner depending on how long or how short you will live. Every beginning has an ending. Our life in this world will end. Don't puff up with pride and arrogance. We are nobody. Remember your beginning--you were created from a fluid held despicable (Surah al-Mursalat 77:20) and Hell is the punishment of the arrogant and wrongdoers.  

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala reminds us in Surah Al Kahf,

ٱلْمَالُ وَٱلْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَٱلْبَٰقِيَٰتُ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلًا ‎﴿٤٦﴾ 

Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one's] hope. (46) [Quran, Al Kahf 18:46]

رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا ‎﴿١٠﴾‏

Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance. [Quran,  Al-Kahf 18:10]

Aameen
