Don`t fight and squabble over this dunya, the hereafter is forever

(Source: safwanitadlmkaca, via thebeautyofislam)

Sura Ad-Duha

The akhirah (hereafter) and this fleeting dunya (world)

"Indeed what is to come will be better for you than what has gone by."

(Quran, Surah Ad-Duha 93:4)

This unrelenting despicable life

It is a real shame one must ask for death to escape this tepidus and despicable life, where everything and everyone around you is so vile in nature that supersedes human comprehension. It is so futile, this life can be so dank with despotism from everyone, especially your so-called loved ones and families. It is the family that is of greatest hindrance in every aspect imaginable. Life is getting so intolerable with so no respite. The word respect is lost in the lips of these individuals who so are regrettably backwards and are below the level of cattle. All they do is follow the ignorant and wallow in their own filth. To them, this life - this world is all pomp and glitter with no distant thought of the afterlife. Their unrelenting disrespect and disregard of human life is up to the boiling point of my life...(RSA)

Don`t forget the Akhirah, the Hereafter

" Plan Your Akhirah Carefully You Are Going To Spend Your Life There, This Is Temporary So Treat It Justly "

Subhanallah, remember my Imaam saying, when we buy houses, or move into our new homes for the 1st time, we decorate it with soooo much junk, new sofa, sofa being bigger than the actual room! 3D TV's costing over 1k, decorating the house as if, "we are going to live here forever", and we all know this is not possible however much we like the house we live in, our (temp) HOME is the grave. He remiinded us that why we dont "decorate" our graves like this? Make it a place of bliss and comfort, decorate it with whatever you wish coz [sic] you will spend your life there (not in the grave but for some time you will) then inshaa'Allah decorate your jannah with Many Palaces and Many Trees. (Palaces made out of Gold, Silver, Diamonds and Rubies, Trees soo big that if you travel for 100years on a hourse you still will be under the shade of the same tree! SUBHANALLAH!)

We should all take into account this naseeha as we all love decorating our homes, but why not decorate our akhirah also?

Plant a tree each time you say Subhanallah, or Get a palace for praying all the 12 Sunnah rakah's in one day :)

Its that Simple! Subhanallah!

May Allah Give us the tawfeeek to focus on our akhirah than this temp dunya! Ameen !

'So why do we hate or dislike death?' as asked by Caliph Sulayman ibn 'Abd al-Malik

[Exerpt from Anwar al-Awlaki, Why do we hate death?]

So one day Caliph Sulayman ibn 'Abd al-Malik (سليمان بن عبد الملك‎) was accompanying a scholar from a Tabi`in, and asked him a question, he said,

  ‘How come we hate death?’ Why, why do we dislike death?’

So the scholar responded and said,

“O Amir ul mu`mineen (Commander of the Believers or Commander of the Faithful), 
          you have constructed this world, this present world and you have destroyed  
          your akhirah (hereafter). So you would not want to think about leaving from what 
          is constructed to what is destroyed.”

He is saying that, all you have done is prepare for yourself a good life in this world but haven’t done much for akhirah, you built for yourself a palace here but you didn’t build a palace there. You made an easy lifestyle for yourself here but didn`t make sure you would have a similar one in akhirah. That’s why you don`t like death. But for someone who is investing all of their money and their efforts and time in building for themselves a better life in akhirah for these they would love to go from this world to the akhirah.

"Indeed, the death from which you flee - Indeed, it will meet you..." (Surah Al Jumuah)
