Asalamu alaykum warahmatullah wabaraktu A very recent tragic event has made me question myself and the way I have been living my life day to day. I have never been religiously inclined until recently although I have had an Islamic upbringing to which I’m ashamed to say that I never took seriously. In the past 2 weeks I have read a few Islamic books and in one particular book I read the following. “It is narrated by Ibn Mandah and others that Ibn ‘Abbas said,’the dispute among created beings on the Day of Judgment will continue until the soul and the body dispute. The soul will say to the body,” you did evil things,” and the body will say to the soul,” you told me to do that” Then Allah will send an angel to judge between them. He will say,” you two are like a paralyzed man and a blind man who entered a garden. The paralyzed man saw fruits hanging there and said to the blind man, ‘I can see the fruit but I cannot reach it.’ The blind man said, ‘I can reach it but I cannot see it.’ The paralyzed man said,’ come and lift me up so that I can pick it.’ So he lifted him up so that he could pick it; he carried him and he told him where he wanted him to go so that he could pick the fruit.”The angel will say,” So which of them should be punished?” They will say,” Both of them.” He will say,” The same applies to you two.’’ This paragraph I just quoted is from a book called “The Minor Resurrection” from the Islamic Creed Series. I thought I would share it as I found the above very powerful and frightening. Insha Allah I hope to make good friends here on the forum, who will help guide me and better myself as a person and islamically.
It's never too late to change bro, Allah Has guided you so make the most of it insha'Allah
He it is Who sends blessings on you, as do His angels, that He may bring you out from the depths of Darkness into Light: and He is Full of Mercy to the Believers. [Quran {33:43}] www.QuranicAudio.com www.Quran.com
The beauty of the Mercy of Allaah(swt). We can be repentent of all of our sins with our last conscious thought. But, the warning is also there that this very moment could be our last conscious thought, so it is essential we always stay in the effort of repenting for our faults. The time to repent is now, not when we find it to be convenient for our self.

Alhamdulillah I believe I'm trying to and I have started to pray on a daily basis now, but I'm still relativly new to alot due to my ignorance.
Take provision from this world, for you never know
When night comes, will you live until morning?
How often has a bride been adorned for her husband,
When it has been decreed on Laylat al-Qadar that their souls will be taken that year?
How often has a young man hoped for a long life,
Then his soul has entered the darkness of the grave?
How many chronically sick people have lived for years?
How often have young people spent day and night in play,
When there shrouds have already been prepared for them, but they do not know?
How many of those who started the day dwelling in places,
Have ended up dewlling in the tomb by nightfall?
Be sincere, always do good, Maybe you will earn the reward
Always fear Allah, because
That will be your protection from the horrors in the place of gatherings.
(From a book I'm presently reading)

My mother always tell me that if you think that you were wrong and you want to correct your self,be sure that its not too late.Stop wasting any more time and start doing good deeds from now,from this very minute.When you ask forgiveness,Allah swt will forgive you,help you and will never leave you alone.You just need to take that one step and every thing will become simple and easy.Also,she advice me to do a little good but do it daily instead of doing a it once in a year.
So,be sure you are not late.The mercy of Allah swt is beyond our thoughts.May he help you,guide you and make this way easy for you.

Ameeen.
Jazakallah khair and Insha Allah I will share with everyone here what brought me closer to Islam and question myself and this dunya. There is still so much I need learn and relearn and Alhumdulliah I am making the effort and making mends.
Asalaamu Alaikum, Welcome to the forum my brother. The path to Jannah is surrounded with hardships and adversity but as long as we strive everyday to worship and do everything to please Allah and refrain from anything that displeases him out of fear then we will be on the right path inshallah.
if you have any questions or need any help thn please do not hesitate to ask. May Allah make the path to Jannah easy for you my brother and give you the best of this world and the hereafter. Ameen
