THE GIFTS WE MUST TAKE WITH US TO THE HEREAFTER
The first person you will meet on your final homeward journey is Azra'il, the blessed Angel of Death.
You must take him four presents, namely:
(1) The performance of all your missed prayers;
(2) Observance not only of basic religious duties, but also of human rights;
(3) Awareness of your mortality;
(4) Fear and uncertainty about your fate.
The gifts for your soul are four:
(1) Eating little,
(2) Sleeping little;
(3) Saying little,
(4) Being morally upright. If you act in this way, you will save your soul from torment, and it will be satisfied with your supreme gift.
You must also bring gifts to the tomb in which you will lie. While there is still time left to do so, you should prepare these presents for the tomb:
(1) Do not tell tales, do not make friends fall out with one another,
(2) Do not cause mischief. This good behavior will be the gift of your tomb.
There are two Inquiring Angels called Munkar and Nakir, who put the following questions to the dead when they enter the tomb:
Who is your Lord?
Who is your Prophet?
What is your Religion?
What is your Book?
In what direct ion do you turn to pray?
What are the believers to you?
You are also required to take gifts to these angels. Their gifts are:
(1) To abstain from lying; to
(2) To put off arrogance and take on humility;
(3) To hear God's Word and accept it.
The gifts for the Balance are four:
(1) Possession of good moral character,
(2) Practicing the ethics of the Qur'an
(3) Follow the example set by the Messenger (Sallahu Alaihi Wa Sallim); not forgetting GOD but remembering the Lord;
(4) Abstaining from ostentation and hypocrisy; considering it unworthy to harm any creature and making restitution to those one may have wronged.
There are also four presents for Paradise:
(1) Keeping trusts and never betraying them;
(2) Expenditure in GOD's Cause;
(3) Self-sacrifice for GOD's sake;
(4) The acquisition of knowledge.
The next four presents are for GOD's blessed Messenger (Sallu >Alaihi Wa Sallim):
(1) Loving good deeds and good people for GOD's sake;
(2) Disliking bad deeds and bad people for His sake;
(3) Respect and
(4) Attention to the learned.
A man once came to the blessed! Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallim) and said: "I wish for death, O Messenger of GOD! (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallim). Muhammad told him about these gifts, and asked if he had prepared them. "No, I have not," the man replied. Muhammad said: "Do not wish for death before you have them ready .
May Allah guide us all and give us the wisdom not only to discern right from wrong but also to follow the right path after having identified it and then keeping on travelling in that same direction till the last day. Ameen
Life for Test, Deen is Best, Akhirath for Rest, World is Only Dust
May Allah SWT give all of us Hidayat and taufeeq Ameen...
Happiness keeps u Sweet, Trials keep u Strong, Sorrow keeps u Human, Failure keeps u Humble, Success keeps u Glowing, But Only God keeps u Going..............
