💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 If the dead were brought back to life, given chance to live,
Granted respite to have their accounts of actions fixed,
After witnessing what occurs once they are buried,
They'd do more good and lack interest in getting rich.
~•~
They'd probably do Tawbah and worship Allah more,
Be kinder and do charity if they can afford,
Share their gifts and blessings with others which they would hoard,
Forgive, help, let go of long-term grudges and discord.
~•~
They'd realize luxury mansions were of no use,
The feasts they enjoyed, branded clothes worn, cool gadgets used,
And pictures of their flawless faces and fancy food,
Could not save them from Allah's judgment He'd execute.
~•~
Understand our main goal is to serve Only Allah,
Not to be aimless on earth nor settle in dunya.
The means that Allah gave must be pathways to Jannah.
Wealth and lawful things shouldn't be sources of fitna.
~•~
Inner joy is attained when our purpose is fulfilled.
When we're loved by Allah, we feel complete, whole and healed.
It doesn't matter if some are wealthy, smart or skilled,
If the reason why they were born remains unfulfilled.
~•~
So concentrate on serving Allah and do your best,
Regardless of how many challenges cause distress.
Wherever we go in this world, expect various tests.
To pass them, have Taqwa. Trust Allah. Don't stay upset.
~•~
Instead of collecting credentials and worldly gains,
Strive to earn Allah's Love, increase good deeds for His sake.
Assist each other as Muslims in strengthening faith,
So we meet Allah and reunite near Jannah's gates.
