> One day there was a man traveling on a trip with his Wife and
> kids
> and on the way he met someone standing in the roadway
>
> So he asked him:
> Who are you?
>
> He said:
> I am the money
>
> So the man asked his wife and kids : Should we ask him to ride
> with
> us?
>
> They said together: Yes of course because with the money it can
> help
> us if we wanted to do anything, and if we wanted to get anything
> we
> desired
>
> So they took the Money to ride with
> them
>
> And the vehicle continued its way until the man met someone else
> on
> the r oad
>
> So the Father asked:
> Who are you?
>
> He said:
> I am the high position and power
>
> So the father asked his wife and kids : Should we ask him to ride
> with us?
>
> So they all answered together in one voice:
> Yes of course because with the high position and power we have
> the
> ability to do anything we want and own anything we desired.
>
> So they took the high position and power with them
>
> And the vehicle continued to finish its trip
>
> And likewise he met in the same manner many people which give the
> pleasures and desires of this life, UNTIL .....They met one person
> on
> the way.....
>
> The Father asks him:
> Who are you?
> He said:
> I am the Deen (Islam)
>
> So the father, wife, and kids said all together in one voice: No
> no...this isn't the time, we desire the pleasures of this life and
> dunyah, and the Deen will prevent us and ban us from these things
> and
> it will take control over us, and we will be worn-out from being
> loyal to it and its learning....And the halal and the Haram, and
> this
> thing prayer and that thing hijab, and this fasting , and and and
> and
> and etc... It will be a burden upon us!!!
>
> But from what is certain is that we will definitely return for you
> to
> pick you up but only after we enjoy this life and everything in
> it.
>
> So sadly....they left him behind and the vehicle continued its
> trip.
>
> And out of no where something appeared in the middle of the road
>
> It was a check point in the road and it had a sign saying
> STOP!!!
>
> And they found a man gesturing for the father to get out of the
> vehicle
>
> So the man said to the father: The trip has ended as far as you
> are
> concerned!!!!
>
> And it is upon you to get out and come with me.
>
> The father was shocked with fear and didn't say a word.
>
> So the man said to him: I am searching for the DEEN. Is he with
> you?
>
> He answered: No I left him not too far back.... So if you can let
> me go
> back, I can get him for you

>
> You do not have the ability to go back, your trip has ended and
> there
> is no going back now..... returning is impossible said the man
>
> Um uh...but but... I have The Money, The high position and power,
> My
> Wife, My Kids, and and and and and and on.
>
> The man said to him: They will not benefit you nor will they
> protect
> you in front of Allah.... Not one bit!
>
> And you will leave all of this, and not one of them will help you
> except for The Deen ...you know? The one which YOU left back in
> the
> road.
>
> So the father asked: And who are you exactly?
>
> I AM DEATH
>
> The one which you were heedless of and didn't take into account in
> your trip!!
>
> The father looked at his vehicle and found his wife taking control
> of
> it and continuing the trip with all of its passengers but him
>
> And none of them stayed with him, and none of them helped him in
> any
> way.

> His Majesty said:
>
> 'Say: If it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your
> mates, or your kindred; the wealth that ye have gained; the
> commerce
> in which ye fear a decline: or the dwellings in which ye delight -
> are dearer to you than Allah, or His Messenger, or the striving in
> His cause;- then wait until Allah brings about His decision: and
> Allah guides not the rebellious.' Qur'an 9:24
>
> And Allah the Majestic said:
>
> 'Every soul shall have a taste of death: And only on the Day of
> Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is
> saved
> far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained
> the
> object (of Life): For the life of this world is but goods and
> chattels of deception.' Qur'an 3:185
