Time will not wait for us no matter how healthy or wealthy we are.

People far healthier than us and wealthier have passed on and time is still ticking.

So never allow yourself to be deceived by your wealth or health.

Use your time wisely and be charitable.

Remember that every moment that goes by will never return so make the most of it.

Whoever is pleased with the deed of a group of people will be resurrected with them. In the same way the wife of Lut (alyhissalam) will be, even though she never practiced homosexuality herself she approved of it and when the punishment came she was included with those people."

"Have you ever wondered how it would be if we treated our Qur’an the way we treat our cell phones.

~ What if we carried it in our bags and browsed it often?
~ What if we turned back to get it if we forgot it?
~ What if we flipped through it several times a day?
~ What if we used it to receive Messages from the Text?
~ What if we treated it like we couldn’t live without it?
~ What if we gave it to our dear ones as gifts?
~ What if we considered it as the number one priority while traveling?
~ What if we used it in case of an emergency?


Think and Reflect !!"

Saw this on another forum may Allah reward the op



Life changes in a second, Thank Allah yours didn't !

Every second.. Someone somewhere took his last breath, Thank Allah it wasn't you !

Every second.. Someone somewhere must have lost his father, Thank Allah it wasn't you !

Every second.. Someone somewhere must have bid farewell to his mom, Thank Allah it wasn't you !

Every second.. Someone somewhere must have been inflicted with a disease, Thank Allah it wasn't you !

Every second.. Someone somewhere must have met with an accident, Thank Allah it wasn't you!

Every second.. Someone somewhere must have been tested with patience, Thank Allah it wasn't you!

And which of the favours of Allah will you deny? [Surah Rahman]

"The question is not whether you will leave this world or not, "
the question is, what will you leave behind you.
Will people ask ALLAH for your forgiveness,
or will they ask ALLAH to forgive them for knowing you."

Ibn Uthaymeen Said

If you truly contemplated on the meaning of Allahu Akbar (in salaah) the world would vanish from your thoughts. This is because Allah is greater than everything, and you are standing before the One greater than everything
