Today - 154th -Rabi al-awwal is the day when The First Mosque in Islam was built – Known as Masjid-e-Quba’a Congratulations on the Birth Anniversary of our beloved Prophet SAWW & our 6th Imam A.S. An important and a pertinent Life Changing Message from these 2 Devine & Prominent Personalities The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w.) has narrated, Take account (of your deeds) yourself before you are taken to account (by Allah swt). (Beharul Anwar, 70/ 73) Just as man carries a watch in order to keep track of time, in the same manner, he should assign a watch for himself that will keep a track of his daily activities. He should check everyday the actions that are beneficial to him and the actions that harm him. Every night when we lie down on the bed, we should analyse our entire day and scrutinize each and every piece of our actions. What did we eat? What did we earn? Did we commit any sin? At the same time we should also remember about the Day of Judgment. If we find that we have performed good actions, then we should thank and praise Allah swt and if we find that we have performed bad actions, then we should seek forgiveness from Him and resolve not to repeat them. It was asked from Hazrat Ali (a.s.): How should a person take account of himself? He (a.s) replied: When a person ends his day, then he should turn towards himself and say O self! This day that has passed will not return. Allah will ask you about how you spent your day. He will ask you about the actions you performed, whether you remembered Him and praised Him? Whether you fulfilled the right of your fellow believer? Did you remove a difficulty that befell upon a believer? Did you protect his children in his absence? Did you safeguard his rights after his death? Did you - on account of your position - prevent anyone from backbiting your believing brother? Did you help any Muslim throughout the day? Thus every man should ponder over his actions that he has performed during the day. If he finds that he has done good actions, then he should praise Allah for giving him the opportunity (taufeeq). But if he finds that he has committed sins, then he should seek forgiveness from Allah and make a firm intention that he shall not repeat that act again. This could be the best gift we could offer our Prophet pbuh and out 6th Imam a.s. Then let us be strict with ourselves every time we account for ourselves, just as a master is strict with his slave. Or as a partner takes account of another partner. So account for yourself before your account is taken which will be so severe that there shall be no scope for rectification. Take account of yourself before the weighing scale is established. And be prepared for a great accounting. ============================================================================= On this auspicious occasion let us ponder over these golden words of our Masumeen a.s. and make them part of our life. We should always remember that we are going to meet our Lord sooner than we think Let us meet Him with a slate clean from all wrong doings and full of good actions. ============================================================================== Worth listening till the end Latest & the most ridiculous proposal – Is it a Sugar coated pill? youtube/watch?v=2zx2lKAmv8U&sns=em
