Death is enough as an admonition!
Death
Month: August 2017
O Slaves of Allaah! Let Us Constantly Remember Death and The Recompense
Verily, you (O Muhammad ) will die and verily, they (too) will die. Then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be disputing before your Lord.
O Allaah! Protect Us From Being Deceived By This Short Lived Worldly Life..Aameen
And put forward to them the example of the life of this world, it is like the water (rain) which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it, and becomes fresh and green. But (later) it becomes dry and broken pieces, which the winds scatter. And Allah is Able to do everything. Wealth and children are the adornment of the life of this world. But the good righteous deeds (five compulsory prayers, deeds of Allah’s obedience, good and nice talk, remembrance of Allah with glorification, praises and thanks, etc.), that last, are better with your Lord for rewards and better in respect of hope.
Preserve Your Salaah, Tongue and Heart!
A man came to the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and said: ”Admonish me and be brief’”; so the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said to him:
إِذَا قُمْتَ فِي صَلَاتِكَ فَصَلِّ صَلَاةَ مُوَدِّعٍ
”When you stand for your prayer, then pray a farewell prayer (i.e. as if it is your last Salah before death).”
وَلَا تَكَلَّمْ بِكَلَامٍ تَعْتَذِرُ مِنْهُ غَدًا
”Do not speak with a statement for which you may have to apologize tomorrow.”
وَأَجْمِعِ اليَأسَ مِمَّا فِي يَدَيِ النَّاسِ
”And forgo what is in the hands of the people (i.e. do not be desperate for the worldly possessions of the people9).”
