Hikmah

Remember Death More!

It may be that you are wearing a watch, but it turns out that the person who took it off from you was your heir.

You might close the car door, but it turns out that the ambulance officer opened it.

It could be that you closed the buttons on your shirt, but it turns out that the person who opened it was the one who washed your corpse.

It may be that you close your eyes to sleep in your room, only to find that your eyes do not open again except in the presence of the Lord of heaven and earth.

Pay attention, what do we use and spend our time on and what will we end our lives with?

Try visiting the cemetery and ask the occupants!

O people who are always glorified, where are you?

O arrogant people who always insult others when they are in power, where are you?

Where are you, kings, presidents, ministers, generals, professors and religious scholars?

It turns out that no one answered because they were all dead and mortal!

O servant of Allah who is distracted by the life of the world from death, are not the previous people enough as a lesson?

Isn't all this enough as a lesson?

Remember, one day we will definitely be resurrected to get a reward!

Rasulullah SAW reminded us:

«God bless you فَإِنْ نَجَا مِنْهُ فَمَا بَعْدَهُ أَيْسَرُ مِنْهُ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَنْجُ مِنْهُ فَمَا بَعْدَهُ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ»

“"The grave is the first stop on the way to the afterlife. If you survive it, what comes after it will be easier. If you don't survive it, what comes after it will be more difficult."”.

O Allah, protect us from slander world, and protect us from the torment of hell!

And Allah knows best

Haha, finally I know, the grave is the most important stopover! Whoever is powerful, who is good at talking, ultimately both become residents of the grave. Oh arrogant people, you can talk in this world, but in the afterlife who will answer? But don't worry, at least there's a joke from Ustadz here. Don't forget the afterlife later, so you miss it, it feels like an invitation to eat before you're hungry. Hehe, a crazy story but it's really relaxing for doing mind control. Wallahu alam bi shawab!
