Bismillah walhamdolilah wasalatu wasalam 'ala Rasool Allah,
What is keeping you and I from the remembrance of Allah? What is keeping us preoccupied? What has made us so busy that we have failed to pray? failed to fast? failed to carry out our purpose in life?
Allah says:
"By the (passing) time! Indeed mankind is in a state of loss"
Thus, Allah makes clear that by the passing time man is in complete loss. Why? Because we don't take heed, we don't learn, we don't listen, we go on doing what our hearts desire without thinking twice. We (in general) don't ponder about the real purpose of our life; we (in general) cover reality with our false notions and desires.
O Son of Adam! Let me ask you a question: What are you living for?
Are you living for food? For women? For wealth? for status? for fame? for houses? for cars? What are you living for? Let it be known that all of this will eventually come to an end and none of it will benefit you in your graves nor the Hereafter. Rather, what will benefit you is your worship of Allah. It is your good deeds that what will aid and assist you on that Day. How many good deeds have you packed? How many sins? Are you ready to meet Allah?
I said from the beginning this wasn't for the weak...but I know your still up for the challenge. Play the video below.
And so I reiterate again my dear and beloved brothers and sisters, what has preoccupied us from the worship of Allah? From the purpose for which we were created? Don't know? Allah knows. He says:
"The mutual rivalry for piling up worldy things diverts you. (It will do so) Until you visit your graves. Nay! You shall come to know! Again Nay! You shall come to know!"
Remember, this life is a test and know with certainty that you will meet Allah. We all want to gain Paradise. We all want to run away from the punishment of the Hellfire. Know O Slave of Allah! No matter what you have done in the past, you can always return to Allah. The contentment of the heart resides in this.
