Did you ever stop for a while and asked yourself

"اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَمِنْ عَذَابِ
جَهَنَّمَ، وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ
فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ".
1. Did you ever stop for a while and asked yourself
2. What is going to happen to me the first night in my grave?
3.What have I prepared for death?
Will I be in heaven or Hellfire?
How often do I remember death?
Think about the moment your body is being washed and prepared to enter
your grave…
4.Think about the day people will be carrying you to your grave..
and your families crying..think about the moment you are put in your
graveJust imagine.. imaging yourself in your grave..down there in
thatdark hole…
5.ALONE… it's too DARK… you cry for help, but there is no answer…
Nobody can help you… it's too NARROW.. your bones are squashed…
6.You regret all the bad things you've done during your life… you
regret missing the 5 PRAYERS
you regret listening to music
You regret your disrespectful manners towards everyone, especially
your parents..
you regret not wearing your hijab
You regret ignoring the orders of ALLAH..
YOU REGRET IGNORING THE KNOWLEDGE OF ISLAM
YOU REGRET ALL THE BAD THINGS YOU'VE DONE..
THERE IS NO ESCAPE.. YOU WILL FACE YOUR PUNISHMENT FOR EVERY LITTLE
THING YOU'VE DONE…
You are ALONE in your grave only with your DEEDS..no money, no
jewelries, nothing.. ONLY YOUR DEEDS..
7. AND WHEN IT IS SHUT, YOU FEEL LIKE SCREAMING AND TELLING EVERYONE
NOT TO GO.. TO STAY BESIDE YOUR GRAVE
BUT, YOU CAN'T BE HEARD.. THEY LEAVE YOU AND GO AND YOU HEAR THEIR
FOOTSTEPS.. AND HEAR THEM CRYING THEY WALK AWAY … AND THEN TOTAL
SILENCE
8. YOU THOUGHT YOU WOULD LAST FOREVER IN THIS WORLD, YOU THOUGHTYOU
WILL STAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILIES FOREVER… YOU THOUGHT YOU WILL
HAVE FUN FOREVER… NO
YOU WERE WRONG!!!
9. THEY LEFT YOU ALONE…
JUST SPEND FEW MINUTES AND LOOK AT YOUR FUTURE HOMES… AND SPEND THE
WHOLE OF YOUR LIFE PREPARING FOR THEM
10. YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO IGNORE THIS, YOU NEED TO REMEMBER THIS EVERY
MINUTE, EVERY HOUR, EVERY DAY..
EVERYTIME YOU ARE ABOUT TO COMMIT A SIN, REMEMBER THE DESTROYER OF PLEASURES:
DEATH!!!
(Don't forget ALLAH/GOD IS WATCHING YOU)

When in any difficult Recite:

When in any difficult
Recite:
اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو فَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ
عَيْنٍ وَأَصْلِحْ شَأْنِيكُلَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
"O Allah, I hope for Your mercy, do not leave me for even the duration
of an eye blink (duration) and correct my total condition. Besides You
there is none worthy of worship".
(Hisnul Hasin)
Alternate dua
حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
"Allah is sufficient for us and He is the Best Guardian".
(Quran, Surah Al-Imraan)
Alternatively recite
اللَّهُ اللَّهُ رَبِّي لَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئَاً
"Allah is my Lord, I do notascribe anything unto Him".
(Hisnul Hasin from Abu Dawood)
or recite
يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ
"O Alive and everlasting One, I beseech You by Your mercy".
(Mustadrak Hakim)
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
"O Allah, there is none worthy of worship besides You. You are Pure,
definitely I have oppressed my soul by sinning".
The Qur'an states that these words were recitedwhen Yunus (A.S.)
called upon Allah from the belly of the fish. Prophet Mohammad
(S.A.W.) stated in a hadith that when any Muslim makes this dua via
these words to Allah, then Allah surely accepts his duas.
(Tirmidhi etc)
It is stated in a hadith that
لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
is the medicine for 99 ailments, the least of which is depression.
(Baihaqi in Dawatul Kubra)
It means that these words are so beneficial and useful that big/great
grievances, depression and sorrow are easily removed in its stride.
Abdullah bin Abbas (R.A.) narrates that Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.)
stated that if a person constantly makes "Astaghfar", then Allah
removes every difficulty, frees him from every sorrow and makes a
means for him to receive sustencance from places that he never thought
of.

IGNORANCE…

Bismillah.
Ignorance is a state of being uninformed (lack of knowledge).
Jahiliyyah (Arabic: جاهلية) is an Islamic concept of "ignorance of
divine guidance" or "the state of ignorance of the guidance from God"
or "Days of Ignorance" referring to the condition Arabs found
themselves in pre-Islamic Arabia, i.e. prior to the revelation of the
Qur'an to Muhammad. By extension it means the state of anyone not
following Islam and the Qur'an.

Volume 1, Book 2, Number 29:
Narrated Al-Ma'rur:
At Ar-Rabadha I met Abu Dhar who was wearing a cloak, and his slave,
too, was wearing a similar one. I asked about the reason for it. He
replied, "I abused a person by calling his mother with bad names." The
Prophet said to me, 'O Abu Dhar! Did you abuse him by calling his
mother with bad names? You still havesome characteristics of
ignorance. Your slaves are your brothers and Allah has put them under
your command. So whoever has a brother under his command should feed
him of what he eats and dress him of what he wears. Do not ask them
(slaves) to do things beyond their capacity (power) and if you do so,
then help them.'
Did you know how Abu Dhar had abused his slave? By calling him 'son of
a black woman'. For anaverage person today, this might not even sound
abusive. We use much worse language, don't we?
Even our language represents our Deen. The kinds of words we use, and
our way of talking. Everything counts.
Two definitions are givenon the top. Ignorance, generally, is lack of
knowledge. But when wetalk about the term 'Jahiliyyah', it refers to
ignorance from Islam.
So, abusive language canonly be expected from a person who lacks
knowledge of Islam. We have enough, Alhamdulillah. Enough to know that
we're Muslims.We should show it as well. ◕‿◕
Wassalam.

A sahabi married to a very beautiful sahaabiyya, were very pious

A sahabi married to a very beautiful sahaabiyya, were very pious and
happy together. The wife always noticed that the husband would wake
up& drink a glass of water,so 1 day,as he was about to get up,she
brought a glass of water& stood by him,waiting for him to get up. When
he opened his eyes & sawher,he became so happy that he told her to ask
any wish from him,& he would fulfil it. So she asked… : "are you sure
you will fulfil any wish I ask for?" . He promised her he would. So
she answered ' I want a TALAAQ. '
He was immediately overcome with extreme grief & said to her : ' let
us go to Nabi (sawlallaahu alayhi wa sallam) & he will decide the
matter. They set off & on their way,he fell & cut his leg. She bent
down,tore a piece of cloth from her clothes & wrapped it around his
wound. As he stood up togo on, she said ' No,I don't want a talaaq
anymore. Let us go back.' … They returned home but he was still
extremelyconfused so he asked herwhy she wanted a talaaq.(Divorce )..
She said : 'you always told me that Allah tests a person proportionate
to His love for them. When I saw you so happy with no difficulties,I
became afraid that Allah might not be pleased with you,& I did not
want to love someone whom Allah dO not love. But when you said you
wanted to go to Rasulullah (sawlallaahu alayhi wa sallam) I doubted
myself,because if you did not love Allah,why would you approach His
Messenger (sawlallaahu alayhi wa sallam) as the first avenue? When you
fell and cut your leg,I realised this is also a difficulty & a test &
that Allah,most certainly,loves you. '..
