From: Judgment Day - The Promised Day (Abdullah Mubarak):

For how long...for how long are we going to be heedless of the signs of Allah? For how long are we going to be busy with the dunya (world), busy making money, chasing our fruitful dreams, following our desires? We know my brothers and sisters, that death is a reality, you can`t run away from death, even if you were in a fortress with walls built up high death is going to come and find you.

Imagine your time is today, what have you got to take back to Allah سبحانه و تعالى‎ (subha wa ta`ala)? Have you repented for your sins? For this temporary life we have given up eternal bliss and eternal happiness, a life which never ends. My dear brothers and sisters, even if the hereafter was soil & mud and this dunya was gold & silver, - still the hereafter would be better than this dunya, because it is eternal! But reality is, this dunya is soil & mud and the hereafter is gold & silver and yet...we choose this life over the next. Are we asleep? Why are we walking around like headless chicken?

We will be brought to account when on that day, when everyone is a stranger to another, when your own best friend in this dunya will be a stranger to you in the next, when your own mother is going to abandon you just to save herself.

The day, when every small action that you ever did you will be shown - every atom weight of good and every atom weight of evil. My dear brothers and sisters, this is the promised day of Allah سبحانه و تعالى‎ , doesn`t your heart tremble with fear knowing that you will be brought to account? And how you will die thats how you will be raised.

That day when a child`s hair will turn grey due to the shock and fear, what will be your excuse on that day? When your limbs, your own legs are going to give witness against you; when your lips are going to be sealed and your legs are going to speak and say, 'Ya Allah!, he made me walk to this haram.' And your own hands are going to say, 'Ya Allah!, he used me to touch this haram.' On that my dear brothers and sisters, there is no refuge except with Allah سبحانه و تعالى‎ .

There is no escape, so take heed before your time is up. Ask Allah to make us among the Saabikun, a group of people who race each other to good deeds and these people will be closest to Allah سبحانه و تعالى‎ in the next life.
