💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 From the things you won't need when you're buried in your grave:
Your cozy house, luxury mansion, fine food you ate,
Large income you earned many of which you loved to save,
Fancy titles or degrees that embellished your name,
~•~
Expensive cars you owned or vehicles you rode in,
Countries traveled to and cities you went to often,
Photos of yourself, with loved ones and with meals taken,
Branded clothes, designer shoes, and worldly collections,
~•~
Cash invested in material things - you won't need them,
Along with the likes you got and fans you influenced,
Evil plans you schemed to get even with opponents,
And pride you inflated to win every argument.
~•~
What will benefit are deeds you did for Allah's sake,
From praying on time, and saying Dhikr night and day,
To teaching about Islam, and kindness you displayed.
Allah gave us this life to worship Him, not play games.
~•~
So don't worry if you're not rich or haven't gained fame.
Our main purpose is to serve Allah, do good, and pray,
While being patient with what Allah provides and takes,
Till we reach Jannah and join those who see Allah's Face.

📖 Anas RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "When a human being is laid in his grave and his companions return, and he even hears their footsteps, two angels come to him and make him sit and ask him: 'What did you use to say about this man, Muhammad?' He will say: 'I testify that he is Allah's slave and His Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam.' Then it will be said to him, 'Look at your place in the Hellfire. Allah has given you a place in Paradise instead of it.'"
The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam added, "The dead person will see both his places. But a disbeliever or a hypocrite will say to the angels, 'I do not know, but I used to say what the people used to say!' It will be said to him, 'Neither did you know nor did you take the guidance (by reciting the Qur'an).' Then he will be hit with an iron hammer between his two ears, and he will cry and that cry will be heard by whatever approaches him except human beings and jinns."

📖 Anas ibn Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Three things follow a dead person. Two of them return and one remains. His family, his wealth, and his deeds follow him. His family and wealth return, but his deeds remain."

📖 Ibn Abbas RadhiAllahu 'anhuma narrated: A woman came to the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam and she said, “My mother has died and she owed a month of fasting.” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Do you think if she had a debt you would repay it on her behalf?” She said 'yes'. The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The debts of Allah are more worthy to be repaid."
