Plan for the hereafter

Life is a test. Allah tests people in different ways. Allah tests some people with, wealth, health, strength, courage, intelligence; likewise Allah test people with poverty, ill health, weakness, dumbness, etc…..and the list goes on. Regardless of our condition in life, we all are being tested. The rich are being tested on what they do with their wealth. The educated or those who are well informed on what they do with their knowledge…….etc.

Even if one is, wealthier than the other; that in no way makes him any superior to Allah. It’s Allah who gives us wealth and who makes us go through poverty as well. Hence to Allah one gets superior according to his deeds. Likewise when we come to the end of life it does not matter what kind of certificate we hold, where we lived, where we went; instead what matters is what we take with us; our deeds. One might struggle each second of life with a severe disease like cancer or one might be even mentally handicapped; But that in no way means they are less fortunate; We never know who will pass the gates of Paradise when the time comes. Allah knows best.

What we should keep in mind at all times is this life is nothing but a test. Hence don’t crave for worldly benefits. People never fail to plan their future. But do we plan and gather deeds for the hereafter. This life is not much different from a dream. What is lasting what is real is in fact is the hereafter. So would you rather plan for your ‘dream’ or plan for your hereafter which is what is real? Just think…! Why do we fail to think about the purpose of life. Its not to get your PHD neither it’s to build a new house. Give importance to build your character, and get ready for hereafter. In fact what matters is what’s inside; not what’s outside. What’s real is only your soul. Not your outside beauty; your health; your intelligence; your confidence; your strength. What’s real is what’s inside you. Your thoughts, your soul.

Don’t do anything with this world solely in mind. Don’t wait till you get a new house; till your children grow up; till you get that degree to think of the creator. First think of Allah SWA .

Hence, if we can keep in mind at all times that this life is a test and this life is just a “dream” and think about the purpose of life, we no doubt will be more humble, kinder, generous, loving, avoid hatred, jealousy and think about the creator.

Plan not ONLY your future but plan for the hereafter. And be among the people who looks at others with kindness; then Allah will be kind to you. Be among those who give love to others; Allah will love you. Be among those who help the poor; Allah will help you. Be among those who try to guide others; Allah will guide you. Be not, among people who look down on others . Be among, people who look with kindness to others; especially our Muslim brothers and sisters.

Don’t look down on others even if Allah has granted you more health; more wealth; more intelligence; more knowledge or more religious knowledge. Don’t look down on others, cause some one has no religious knowledge or at people who are less religious. In fact be thankful to Almighty Allah for granting you with more faith and try to help your Muslim brothers and sisters. Be a light; not a judge. It’s not for us to judge others. Allah knows best.

Dear brothers and sisters, hence prepare for hereafter………….Don’t delay it .We might never get another chance. Start now. Don’t delay your prayers thinking you will pray tomorrow. You might not get another chance, Wake up, and get ready for the hereafter. Read Quran. Learn from Prophet Mohamed SAW Sunnah…………..Plan for the hereafter.

Wake up and head ford 5 obligatory prayers. Don’t give more importance to anything other than your 5 obligatory prayers. Wake up and get ready for the hereafter………Learn more about Islam. Gather your deeds. If you are among those, blessed with more religious knowledge roll up your sleeves to help those less fortunate. And if you have not much religious knowledge don’t waste any more time. Wake up. Learn more and get ready for the hereafter. Think about the purpose of life. ……….
