Poem: Actual Victory Isn't In Attaining Many Worldly Joys But In Achieving Allah's Love And Entry To Jannah Paradise

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

💌 Since Allah the Almighty made us to worship Him,
On Judgment Day we won't be asked about worldly things.
About how much we enjoyed life we won't be questioned,
But rather how we lived to worship Allah our King,
And how well we passed Allah's tests in avoiding sins.
~•~
Allah may not ask us about how much we've eaten,
How many cities we have traveled to, how often
We went shopping and filled wardrobes with fancy garments,
But we may be asked about how we earned the income
And how kind we were with the wealth Allah has given.
~•~
Allah may not question us if our education
Led to earning degrees, impressive social standing,
And opportunities to boost one's reputation,
But we may be asked on our intention in learning
And what we did with the knowledge Allah has given.
~•~
Allah may not inquire about how much amusement
And entertainment were gained in chilling with loved ones,
But Allah may ask about intentional actions,
Decisions made, deliberately stated statements,
And if we worked hard to please Allah or His servants.
~•~
Since we won't be asked about material enjoyment,
It makes no sense to stress over what's impermanent.
Awards or credentials won't carry significance
On the Day of Judgment. What can guarantee triumph
Are faith/Imaan, righteous deeds, and sincere intentions.
