Poem: If You Knew Exactly When You'd Die

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 If you knew you had just two weeks left before you’ll die,
What deeds will you rush to do, which tasks you’ll sacrifice,
What actions would you start doing and prioritize,
To whom will you declare your love which you’ve kept inside?
~•~
If you knew you had one month left for you to survive,
Will you delete all your selfies, abandon desires,
Repent and ask Allah to forgive your wrongs and crimes?
Who would you reach out to, to thank and apologize?
~•~
If you knew that very soon you’ll leave this worldly life,
Will you hurriedly return to Allah the Most Wise,
Cry for Allah’s Mercy, pray Tahajjud late at night,
Strive to do charity, and perform Salah on time?
~•~
If you knew that anytime you’ll have to say goodbye,
Will you make sure you’ve paid your debts, try to be more kind,
Transform yourself positively and share your good vibes,
Teach people about Islam, and leave knowledge behind?
~•~
Keep in mind, Only Allah knows when we’ll leave this life,
So strive to do what you can to deserve Paradise,
Say Du'a and Dhikr, and from the Qur'an recite,
Whether our lifespan is long or short, at least we tried.
~•~
📖 Ibn ‘Abbas RadhiAllahu 'anhuma narrated: Allah’s noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Take advantage of five before five: Your youth before your old age, your health before your illness, your riches before your poverty, your free time before your work, and your life before your death.
