The Grave
Assalamu'alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhuu
This is a wonderful poem. I hope it sheds some light in everyone's life.
Ask yourself these questions, If I were to die will Allah (swt) be pleased with me? What I have done in my life till now?
Have I just been chasing after the du nya & not Allah's happiness? Have I made the world a better place with my presence?
Have I done anything for Islam today and most
Importantly did I pray?????????
Dear brothers and sisters, think of
a list of the most important things to you ..
What number is Allah (swt) on
that list? try to make amends, beg for Allah's forgiveness .
Just Close Your Eyes And Imagine
Just close your eyes and imagine,
You have just one more day to live;
One more day to show Allah,
What "Jannah" he should give?
To say goodbye to your family,
And all your closest friends;
To ask for forgiveness,
And try to make amends;
Just close your eyes and imagine,
Did you miss a prayer or two?
Did you please Allah, and do the things,
He asks every Muslim to do?
Just close your eyes and imagine,
Tomorrow you will be gone;
No more second chances,
To smell the mist of dawn;
Just close your eyes and imagine,
The angels are going to come,
To take your soul and ask,
In your life "what have you done"?
Just close your eyes and imagine,
The words you want to say;
Will not come out you may realize,
For all your deeds you'll pay;
You want to speak out, to cry out,
In Allah I believe;
But, silence beckons you,
No more can u deceive;
Just close your eyes and imagine,
Finally,
Your silence breaks away;
You tell the angels you believe in Allah,
And for him, you did pray;
You say as tears are pouring down your face
Please, Allah, forgive me,
For the sins that I committed,
Have mercy is my plea!
Just close your eyes and imagine,
That the smell of musk surrounds you,
From your head down to your feet;
You realize Allah forgave you,
Hell fire you did defeat;
But we all know as Muslims,
When it's time for you to die;
You'll not be given a second chance,
To say a last goodbye;
So live each day as If it's your last,
And never forget to pray;
So when the angels come to ask,
You'll know the words to say.
Remember Brother & Sisters...we are all here in this world for just awhile...make the most of everyday & do what's required if not more
Come to think of it, how long is a person's life in this world? How far is death? When a person is born, Azaan is said in his ears. He then lives a life of, say 70 years. Then when he dies, shortly afterwards is the Namaaz-e Janaaza prayed. So how long is his life? 70 years? Wrong! His whole life is like the brief period of time between Azaan and Jamaat.
Narrated Ibn Umar (radhiallahu anhu):
The Prophet (salallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "The keys of the unseen are five and none knows them but Allah:
(1) None knows what is in the womb but Allah,
(2) No one knows what will happen tomorrow but Allah,
(3) None knows when it will rain but Allah,
(4) None knows where he will die but Allah, and
(5) None knows when the Hour will be established but Allah."
Wassalam.
