alhamdulillah im having a good day

as salamu alakum warahmatullah

alhamdulillah I'm having a good day. its a very beautiful day today nice and cool out and i had alot of time to sit and ponder while i was on my way to take my son to the dentist. its so easy to forget the blessing of Allah upon us, you are reminded of the blessings when your out and see those who may not have what you have been blessed with ( a homeless person, a sick person, a person that is corrupted)alhamdulillah Allah has truly blessed me with many things that i don't think i take advantage of and i believe this is something alot of us fall short on. for example free time, there are lots of people that wish they had the free time to do more. alot of us have free time and we wont read or make sunnah prayers or memorize qur'an or do anything that would benefit us in the hereafter. may Allah subhannahu wata ala help us ameen.anyway i am working on finishing up memorizing juz'amma there is a sister that takes her time out every week and teach qur'an for free, may allah reward her the classes have been very beneficial, she takes her time and make sure we are reciting the qur'an with its rights. insha allah we all implement what we have been learning. and may allah continue to give us all the tawfeeq ameen.

Remembering the Destination of Mankind in the Hereafter – a Cure for Weak Iman

Remembering the Destination of Mankind in the Hereafter – a Cure for Weak Iman

Imam Ibn ul Qayyim al Jawziyyah



When one’s mind is clear, he will be able to see clearly, thus giving such a person a light in his heart that will allow him to almost witness the Warning and the Promise, Paradise and Hell, and what Allah has prepared in this (Paradise) For His Awliyaa` (loyal friends) and in that (Hell) for His enemies. He will then witness people rushing out of their graves following the call of the Truth (Resurrection). The angels in the heavens will descend and will surround them (creation). Allah will then come to judge (between creation) and His Kursi (literally a footstool or chair) will be raised. The earth will shine with the Light of its Lord (Allah, when He comes to judge between His creation), the Book (of Records) will be opened and the Prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward. The Mizan (Scale) will then be established, the books of (individual) records will fly around and the foes will converge, each holding to its foe. Al-Houdh (the pool that runs outside the gates of Paradise from a river inside it) will then appear and its cups will appear close by. Thirst will intensify, but those who are allowed to drink are few. Al-Jisr (the bridge over Hell that everyone must pass over into Paradise) will then be laid (over Hell) so that (mankind and the Jinn) can pass over it (as for the disbelievers and those whose sins outweigh their good deeds, they will fall into Hell, where only the disbelievers will reside for eternity). People will then be gathered in its direction. The Fire (Hell) will appear, each part harshly consuming the other parts beneath it. Those who fall into it are far more than those who are saved from it. Then, an eye will be opened in his (the man who is thinking about these scenes) heart with which he will be able to see clearly. His heart will then witness some scenes of the Last Life, along with imagining the various stages of the Last Life which will last for eternity, as compared to this Dunya (the life of this world) and its briefness.

to introduce myself i am 24 years old , iam a mother of two boys 1 and 4 and a wife and a sister and a aunt and best friend... but the best thing i have come to be is a servant of Allah. i became Muslim in 2002 alhamdulillah. i remember before i have been guided to Islam i was lost like i didn't really think of the hereafter like what happens I'm i ready and so on. i have a whole new outlook on things and sometimes it even depresses me because sometimes you may do and try to do some much that it feels like you not doing enough, if that makes any sense. i have to constantly ask myself if i die today am i ready to meet Allah? is my soul right? I'm i doing enough good deeds? did i excuse everyone that wronged me?. there are so many questions i ask myself and i am working on the answers.
