Please analyze our lives and ask following questions: Did I start my day by reciting the morning invocations(Dhikr) taught by Prophet? Am I keen in offering the ‘five times prayer a day’ in the congregation in Masjid? Do I read at least a small portion from Holy Qur’an every day? Do I set time aside to read Islamic books? Do I keep myself away from committing sins, conquered by the remembrance that Allah is nearer? Do I have a dear friend who precisely follows commands of Allah? OR (Do I have a dear friend for the sake of Allah?) Do my involvements in Islamic activities aim to pave a way for my success in the hereafter? Do I help at least one poor person every day, in any possible way? Do I fulfill the responsibilities towards my family in such a way that they would not testify against me in front of Allah? Does the belief, ‘Allah is with me’ bring peace of mind in all hurdles? Do I learn at least one ‘Sunnah’ (practices of prophet) every day and practice it? Do I pray for others? Do I constrain myself, not to commit falsehood, deception or distrust to any one? Am I truthful in my words? Do I memorize the prayers taught by prophet meant to offer in various occasions? Do I go to bed with an intention to wake up early and pray ‘Thahajjudh’ (Night prayer)? Do I assure that I practice things that I preach to others? Do I ‘remember’ Allah in seclusion? Does the thought death is always nearer, frighten me? Can I pledge that I will not accomplish anything ‘Haram’ (prohibited)? Did I seek Allah’s forgiveness (Thouba) upon the sins committed? Do I pay Zakath and Charity regularly? Do I participate at least in one Islamic gathering weekly, apart from Friday Jumua? Do I make virtuous people my exemplars? Do I have the courage to question injustice and falsehood? Do I keep punctuality – one of the best habits of a true believer – in my life? Do I show integrity in all responsibilities assigned? Do I interrogate myself in private moments?
