💌 Our fear of Allah should be much greater than dying.
Why be afraid of death when every living being
Is meant to depart this life at destined appointments?
Allah willed His servants will someday return to Him.
~•~
Don't be too scared to die, since death is bound to happen.
If you're close to Allah and you're a striving Muslim,
See death as a gateway that leads to Jannah/Heaven,
A path you must pass through to flee from dunya's problems.
~•~
It's better to die sooner than on days preceding
Dajjal's appearance prior to the Day of Judgment
When the trials by that time are much more unpleasant,
And the deviants outnumber those upon true guidance.
~•~
Day and night look forward to dying any moment,
Ready to meet Allah and answer all His questions.
Righteous deeds done for Allah with sincere intention
And records of Istighfaar can assure salvation.
~•~
Another deed that benefits in preparation
Is reciting Ayatul Kursi after praying.
Strive to please Allah and don't be afraid to meet Him.
No way can a soul reach Jannah without first dying.
~•~
May Allah the Most Merciful take us while He is Pleased with us, after we've said the Shahaada, and only when we've done enough good deeds that make us worthy of Jannatul Ferdaus. Ameen.
📖 Abu Umamah RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Whoever recites the ‘Verse of the Throne’ (Ayat Al-Kursi) after every prescribed prayer, there will be nothing standing between him and his entry into Paradise but death."
