This may change your life FOREVER!

Desire the hereafter and renounce your love for this world

On the authority of Sahl bin Saad Al-Saedi, who said : A man came to the prophet and said: "O Messenger of Allah, direct me to an act which, if I do it, [will cause] Allah to love me and people to love me." He said: "Renounce the world (i.e. give-up or control your worldly desires) and Allah will love you; and renounce what people possess (i.e. keep off people's property) and people will love you." [Ibn Majah]

Those who chase this world will only get what was destined for him but those who chase the hereafter then this world will chase after them and they will have this world and the next!
 
Time - Use it, do not abuse it

Our attitude towards time indicates our attitude towards the value of the capital of life. If we want to purchase something, we require financial capital; and if we want to do something in life, we require the capital of life, time. That is why the Qur'an exhorts us to value the time we have before life is up. Qur'an (63:10)

Realize that...
  • Time is the measure of life, time is an amaanah (trust), time is a gift from the Creator and its proper use will determine our outcome for eternity.
  • We are born in time, live in time and die in time; time is the ambit within which we operate. What we do with time is what we do with our lives.
  • Each one must realize that every moment that passes by is an opportunity gone, used or abused; never to return. Soon time will be up and we'll have to leave this physical world and give account for our lives.
  • The more we remind ourselves of the responsibility of the present the better we get at living the moment and the better we live the present moment the better the consequence for the future.
Our attitude towards the future influences our mind-set towards the rest of life. Being positive about life ahead is among life's greatest motivators. Hope is the best attitude one can harbor towards the future; this realistic expectation that something good or better could/will happen if only we continue doing the best we can. Remember that today well-lived makes yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Wise are the words of the one who said ... "I expect to pass through this world but once; any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."

"O Allah! Make life a means for every dimension of goodness." [Prayer of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)]

The Characteristics of Time

We are to bear in mind that time has certain characteristics, among of which are the following:
  1. Time passes quickly.
  2. Time that passes can never return, nor can it be compensated for, for time is irretrievable.
  3. Time is the most precious thing that man possesses.
 
A Comfortable Life

It is reported that ‘Umar b. ‘Abd Al-‘Azîz once wrote to Al-Hasan Al-Basrî to get a brief exhortation from him, so Al-Hasan wrote back , “The dunyâ distracts and preoccupies the heart and body, but al-zuhd (asceticism, not giving importance to worldly things) gives rest to the heart and body. Verily, Allâh will ask us about the halâl things we enjoyed, so what about the harâm!”
Al-Bayhaqî, Al-Zuhd Al-Kabîr, article 26.
 
My cousin passed away yesterday, I got word today. He was a baby.
He was born prematurely by 2 months and died at the age of 2..

Every single morning they had to bring him to the hospital to have him hooked-up to this oxygen machine and so on.. And he suddenly Died at the hospital due to lack of oxygen..
I was stressing about the importance of the event with my aunt saying everyone knew he was going to die, God was just reclaiming what's his.

Tonight..
I packed a bowl of Some of the best Marijuana in the world(sage n sour British Columbia Dro)..
Yet for some reason I felt like taking a shower and doing ghusl. So I did Ghusl and came out, then I felt Like praying..
I prayed 'Isha.. after searching up whether it was permissible to pray in a room with pictures or not (For fun haha).

I then Tripped over this Site and re-visited after I finished prayer. Didn't feel like smoking weed one bit :/
I saw this article, clicked it and watched the video, read the thread...

I now understand the words I spoke to my aunt about Allah re-claiming that which is his applies the exact same to me as it does to that child, regardless of Age/Well-Being.

Inshallah,
I hope I start living up to the name Muslim..

And yes, this is my first post ;)

Nice to see this place haha ^.^
