.:: Words of exhortation ...::. |
Why is it difficult for us to tell the
truth, but on the other hand, there is nothing simpler than the lie?
Why do we feel tired when we pray, but once the prayer is finished, awake and
refreshed?
Why we stay awake the night for a football game or a movie or for entertaining with friends but not to read the
Quran or to pray?
Why do we stand up early in the morning in order to work, but not for the Fajr
prayer?
Why are we afraid of people who could be watching us, but not of Allah, by whom we
are
always observed?
Why do we spend so much money for perishable pleasure and expensive trips, while
we are simultaneously stingy with the donations for the poor, even though these
acts are of everlasting benefit?
Why is it difficult for us to speak about God and religion as easily as about other
things?
Why do we say that we love Allah, but we are so disobedient against him ?
And why we say that we hate the devil, but at the same time we are so obedient to Him and
bow our heads in front of his soldiers.
Why do we feel the boredom, when we read texts about religious context, but at
the same time excited and interested when we read texts, which deal with other things?
Why do we delete e-mails with religious content but send mass e-mails with other
content?
Why do we love to listen to music in the car, but hate to listen to the Quran
instead?
Why do we realise that the mosques are left, while cafes, parks and other clubs
are filled?
Why do we avoid the one who wants paradise for us and gives us advice, by trying
to stay away from him while we love the one who
leads us to ruin, by trying to come closer to him. But not only that, because if
we miss him, we start looking for him?
Why do we always mention the mistakes of others and forget our own?
Why we cry at music, but do not cry for fear of Allah?
Why we get angry when our self-esteem or our honor is violated, even if it's by
only one word, but we continually violate God's commandments and this does not
have any effect on us?
Ask yourself the following question:
How long will you think about what you just read and in how far you will try your
change the
present condition or will you remain just a follower who constantly says
and does what others order and know nobody to lead, not even yourself?
Will you send this message to your friends or you will simply ignore it like
any other religious message?
Hast thou forgotten that
Allah observes you. Constantly!
You'll die. Alone!
You will be asked. Alone!
You'll be awakened again. Alone!
You will enter heaven or hell. Alone!
Only you are working for your salvation or your doom. Alone!
So, save yourself!
And if you have until now only done what your self (nafs) liked, which be assured: If this
your self could speak to you, it would say:
"I ibeg you, do not throw me into hell!"
Because remember:
Today could be the first day of your new life, but also the last day of your
earthly life. If you think tomorrow would be soon enough, so please visit the
cemetery, see the data of the death and ask yourself whether the dead knew that
on that day they would die or whether they thought tomorrow would be soon enough,
while it came the other wys for them.
Even a request, not for me, but for YOU:
If this message reaches you, then please pray for those who have participated in it
by writing, translating, and every one who was involved in it, because the
prayerwill not cost you much, but it brings you huge reward because it is
reported that an angel, when you pray for an absent, says this: "And the same for you."
Will you do this for YOU? And will YOU foreward the message to others, so that it
is a continuous donation for
you and also your friends may pray for you.
Glorified be Allah and praised
Blessed be Allah, the Almighty.
There is no God exept Him;
Blessed is He and truly I was and am an unfortunately one of the wrong-doers.
Ask Allah for forgiveness, beside Whom there is no other God.
The Vivid, the resistant and return back to him.
And when the world depresses you, then do not say: "Oh God, I have a big
problem,"
but say: "Oh sure I have a great God and you will meet me only because Allah
wanted so in order to test me butt He is just and He
loves me, so that the compensation and the ease will hit me as sure as you has
hit me and therefore , God willing, I will remain standing firm."
Oh Allah, bless Muhammed (peace be upon him) and his family, as you blessed Abraham (peace
be upon him) and his family!
