๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

๐ When we, slaves and creations of Allah the Most Wise,
Recall that life's a test and death can come anytime,
Accepting what Allah decrees, bestows and denies,
With patience, becomes more manageable and worthwhile.
Recall death more often and your faith level can rise.
~•~
When we remember the reality of this life,
And believe that all humans will eventually die,
Dunya's ornaments and pleasures become less admired,
And what people possess of worldly joys won't entice
Us to envy nor entertain worries from inside.
~•~
Why desire the gifts of people which Allah decides
To give as tests, and why remain worried when this life
Is transient along with its trials of various kinds?
Why worry about enjoying a lavish lifestyle
When the grave is the next place where bodies must reside?
~•~
This life is short, death is real, and know that anytime
We humans shall return to the One Who gave us life,
To Allah the Almighty Who sees us day and night,
And Who won't judge us based on how much wealth we've acquired
But on sincere efforts to earn Jannah Paradise.

๐ Ibn Umar RadhiAllahu 'anhuma narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler along a path."
Ibn Umar RadhiAllahu 'anhuma would say, “If you make it to the evening, do not wait for the morning. If you make it to the morning, do not wait for the evening (do not live in this dunya as though you'll remain alive forever). Take from your health for your sickness, and from your life for your death.”
