Embarrassing!

People usually feel embarrassed when they do something wrong in front of a crowd. The embarrassment increases as the size of the crowd increase. 

For example, a person will feel more embarrassed if his/her faults are revealed in front of a thousand people than in front of only 10 people. Imagine how you would feel if your faults were broadcasted through the media to all the people in your country. 


We are very particular in protecting our honour and dignity in this world, however, while disobeying ALLAH, are we mindful of the Day of Judgement when we will be standing in front of ALLAH in the presence of the whole humanity? Besides the ordinary people, all the Prophets will be present along with all the sahabah, martyrs and pious individuals. 

How embarrassing it will be if they see us standing in front of ALLAH as sinners! Besides the whole humanity, how bad it is if we are to stand in front of ALLAH alone as a disobedient servant? Therefore, to avoid those major humiliations, we should avoid committing sins in this world.


And I have not created the jinn and  humankind  except that they might worship Me . (Az-Zariyat : 56)

Tasbih

A Tasbih is used to keep count of dzikr. It is usually made up of 100 beads which are held together in a necklace form by a thread. As long as the tasbih remains in its original form, it can be used for doing good deeds. However, what happens if the thread rips? The beads fall all over the place and create a mess. 


Similar is the example of this ummah. As long as the Muslims remain united together, good results will come out of them. However, as soon as they are divided, they will create a big mess, which is clearly visible in these days.

O you who believe! obey ALLAH and obey the Messenger and those in authority from among you; then if you quarrel about anything, refer it to ALLAH and the Messenger, if you believe in ALLAH and the last day; this is better and very good in the end. (An-Nisa':59)

A 3 Bedroom House

Nowadays, to live in a 3 bedroom house, a person has to work at least 8 hours per day to pay for the rent. Sometimes, that is not enough. Some people without a high paying job have to work 12 hours to 16 hours a day to live in such a house. So much work is required just to live in a tiny little house of this world! 


On the other hand, the houses of Jannah (Paradise) are not made of 3 bedrooms. Rather, they are gigantic palaces made of the most precious jewels from the treasures of ALLAH. In this world, we are spending so much time and energy for the 3 bedroom house, however, what are we doing for attaining Jannah?


If Jannah Is Your Dream hold Tight To Your Deen.
