A Moment of Thought
As Muslims we should
consider the extent to which we actually follow the Holy Qur'aan in which we
profess to have such faith,
and how much concern and
regard we sincerely have for its commandments.
Could it be that on
the Day of Judgement, as according to the following
verses of the Holy Qur'aan,
our
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
says to
Allah
(regarding us):
O
Lord' My Ummah forsook this Qur'aan.... (25:30)
We believe in
Allah
and it is our belief
that
on the Day of Judgement,
we will all have to face
Him
and to be
held accountable for our each and every action.
How then do we expect to
meet
Him?
Will
He
not say to us:
I
revealed to you clearly all the
etiquettes of living your lives and made clear the differences between
Halaal and
Haraam.
How closely then did you follow
My
commands?
How much did
your character, thoughts, and actions reflect the fear of accountability before
Me?
On the Day of
Judgement we will face our beloved
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
as well.
With the sun
unbearably close over us,
it will be a day of unimaginable
difficulty, torment and unendurable thirst.
He will lead us all to the
well of
Kawthar to drink.
But have we ever
thought of how we shall face him?
We,
who have
spent our whole lives ignoring his teachings and never taking any steps to
implement them in our lives;
how can we honestly
expect him to quench our thirst with his own blessed hands.
How can we
expect that he will intervene on our behalf when we will meet him bent under the
burden of our sins?
Have we followed his
teachings in our lifestyle, our appearance, our manner of dressing, or in
anything else in our lives?
