We learnt so many things but do not
act on them.
~ We have learnt that, if we
say"Subhanallaah wa bihamdihii" a
hundred times, our sins would be
forgiven, even if they were as much as
the foam of the sea.
(Yet, several days and nights go by us
and yet, we do NOT say these words).
~ We have learnt that, two rak'ahs of
Salaatu-Duhaa outweigh 360 acts of
sadaqah.
(Yet, several days and nights will past
us and we do NOT observe Salatul-
Duhaa)
~ We have learnt that, whoever
voluntarily fasts a single day in the
path of Allah, Allah would distance his
face from the fire by seven trenches
and also distance his face from the fire
by seventy khareefs. (Yet, we do NOT
observe voluntaryfasts)
~ We are aware that, whoever visits a
sick person would have 70,000angels
follow him back as he returns home,
seeking Allah's forgiveness for him.
(Yet, we have NOT visited the sick this
week)
~ We have learnt that, whoever prays
upon a dead muslim and follows the
dead body to the grave until it is buried
would have two Qiiraats of reward; and
a Qiiraat is simlar to Mount Uhud in
size. (Yet, several weeks go by and we
do NOTgo to the grave-yards to pray
SalatulJanaazah on the dying muslims)
~ We have learnt that, whoever builds
a masjid for Allah, even if it is the size
of a bird's nest, Allah would build a
house for him in Paradise.
(Yet, we do NOT contribute towards
the building of masjids; even if it is
with as little as 10 naira) ~We have
learnt that, the one who helps a widow
and her poor children is like the
mujahid fighting in the path of Allah,
and like the fasting person who doesnt
break his fast at all, and like the one
who spends the entire night doing
Tahajjud and doesnt sleep at all.
(Yet, we do NOT partake in the
assistance of widows and their helpless
orphans)
~ We have learnt that whoever recites
a single letter from the Qur'an would
get a hasannah, and a hasanah is
recorded in ten folds. (Yet,we do NOT
bother to recite theQur'an everyday)
~ We have learnt that, the one who
performs Hajj-Mabruur, his reward is
none other than Paradise and he is
recompensed by returning back to his
homeland, just as the day his mother
gave birth to him (i.e. with a clean
slate of sins; all his sins washed away).
Yet, we do NOT bother to fulfil the
rites of Hajj, despite the fact that the
rites are easy and have been simplified
for us)
~ We have learnt that, the honour of a
believer is in his getting up to pray
Tahajjud at night, and that the Prophet
(may Allah's peace and blessings be
upon him, his household and
companions) were never negligent of
observing Tahajjud allthrough their
lives, even though theywere pre-
occupied with seeking fortheir
livelihoods, and in spreading the
religion of Allah. (But as for us,we are
extremely negligent in this aspect of
worship)
~ We have learnt that, the Day
ofJudgement is surely approaching;without
any doubt, and that Allah would
surely raise the occupants of the
graves.
(Yet, we do NOT prepare for this Great
Day.)
~ We bury the dead, and pray janaazah
upon them. (Yet, you act heedlessly, as
though such a day is not meant for
you!)
My dear brothers, and sisters, know that
every single breath we take in,moves
us closer to our appointed times;
to our ends, our DEATHS!
Yet, we do not quit jesting and gossiping around.
The time has come NOW, at this
moment,We need to change our life styles and attitudes
and make the best preparation we can
for the DAY OF.JUDGEMENT...
(The day when a man would run away
from his brother, from his mother,
from his father, from his wife, and
even his own children...)Because every
one of them would have more than
enough problems of his own to worry
about.
So, glad tidings to the one who reads
these words, understands thu
HASTENS to WORK with them ...
And may Allah (SWT) reward us all .Amin
