With what concerns the complete stupor of
death; What if the title of this was the command from Allah for
me?
Did I even pray today?
Did I read Qur'aan?
Did I invite someone to Islaam or make dhikrallah?
Did I seize upon the opportunity, once recognized, to act upon the good expected of me by Allah of His slaves?!
What is it about what I have done up until the inevitable point of no return that would have me fall into the good, forgiving graces of Allah???
Sometimes I cry because I ask Allah to help me... I wish to be a beautiful believer in Allah... I want to do naught but good and meet the prophets, I wish my everyday battles with my nafs was easier for me–oh brother or sister reading this, without Islaam I am not sure I would want to be my
own companion! I hate jahilyah so much! You would have to have been born into it or born into an Islamic upbringing, become misguided and make Taubah to come close to understanding! Can you imagine life having no point?
By Allah! By adDeen ul-Islaam! The person I am today would swear to hell the person I was–the things I would have even said about ALLAH!
I have pondered the Why and How behind my being guided to Islaam and the only acceptable answer to me is a LOVING, FORGIVING and GENEROUS GOD!
...do not be fooled by the vainglorious reflection of relative youth in the looking glass, your day could be today.
(M. Asad) 62:8 Say: "Behold, the death from which you are fleeing is bound to overtake you - and then you will be brought back unto Him Who knows all that is beyond the reach of a created being's perception as well as all that can be witnessed by a creature's senses or mind, whereupon He will make you truly understand all that you were doing [in life]."
قُلْ إِنَّ الْمَوْتَ الَّذِي تَفِرُّونَ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مُلَاقِيكُمْ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ إِلَى عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
Now!
