Faith in the day of Judgement and fate - Good And Evil .

   Faith in the day of  Judgement  and  fate - Good  And  Evil .

 Everything  created  must  perish.

 Some day we will die  and leave everything  on the earth  behind . Long  we may  live but   the life   on earth is very short . One day  this world  we live  in will also  come to an end . Then  everyone  of us will   stand  before Allah  to be  Judged. 

 Facing  Death :

 The holy Quran says  : Every human  being  is  bound  to taste  death  and in the end  all  shall  be brought  to Us ,

 In  truth  we have  some  from  Allah  and  are returning  to  Him . In fact  we are  on a journey  to Heaven - our  final homeland .  When , how,  and where  we will  die ? Only Allah  knows . It is Allah's secret  . Only Allah knows  how long  we would live . But we  do know  that everything  created  must perish  and time  will come  when we  will die .

 The  Joys of  paradise  or  the torments  of hell :

 Allah is the master of the day of  Judgement . He will judge  each one  of us  on that day  in the  presence  of everybody . Can  you visualize  what that would be  like ?  All the  people  who have ever  lived  on the earth  will stand before Allah  to be Judged  and every deed of ours  will find  its reward . Those who believed  in Allah and His  Messengers  and  did good things  will be welcome  into the joys  of paradise . They will live there  forever . And those who  lived far from  Allah and  denied  His Messengers  and turned  their backs on Allah  will be punished  . They will  be  thrown  into hell .  The place  of great  suffering.

 The thought of  the Last  day - the  rein  of God- fearing : 

 Faith in the life  after death  is one of the basic  principles  of Islam . The reason  for giving  this great  importance  is clear. This belief  urges  man  towards  good and  noble  deeds and keeps  him from doing  sinful   things . Our hope  for  heaven and  fear  of Hell  make us  eager  to do good deeds  for love  of Allah . The thought  of the life  after  Death  makes man fear  Allah even  when he is alone .  He  discharges  his duties  honestly . He  refrains  from doing anything  which is prohibited . Should  he  fail  anyway  and break  the law of Allah , he is ever  ready  to  offer  sincere  regrets.

 Allah is Always  watching  us :

 One day  Umar bin al  khattab {R}  was out  in the city  of Madinah  to see for himself  how people  were  getting  alone . It was dark  and  Umar {R}  walked  silently . Soon he stood before  a house  where an  elderly  woman  lived  with  her daughter . Every  night  they milked  their  animals . Sold  their milk  and so they  lived .

 As Umar  {R}  passed  by  he heard  the mother  advise  her daughter  to add  water into milk  so that it could  bring  them  more  money . Do not  you know  mother that  Umar, the  Caliph , has  ordered  us  not  to do so ? answered  the  God - fearing  girl.

 The mother said : My dear daughter    ,  Umar is not  here  to see  you  add  water into milk . Mother , I know  the Caliph  Umar is not  here  to see us   cheat  people  but  Allah is watching  us . Dishonesty is  forbidden  in our religion  . It was the thought   of  Akhirah  that made   the girl mindful  of Allah .

 What  awaits  us  after death ?

 When a person  dies , his soul  does not  perish . A soul is  immortal . It lives . It only  migrates  from this world  to another , new , world . Separated  from soul , the body  placed  in its grave . It is a teaching  of our Faith  that soon  after death  and burial  the angels  Question  him about  his beliefs.  If he is  truthful  believer , he gives them  correct  answers. The angels  then give  him good news   that  he would  live in peace  and happiness  till the Last Day. And if the dead  turns  out to be an unbeliever , in  state  of serious  sins  and  obstinate rebellion  against  Allah , he is not  able  to give  correct  answers  to the questioning  angles . He is then  plunged  into a  dreadful  punishment which  is not to cease  till the Last Day . The Last Day -Yaum al -  Akhir , means  a day will  come  when everything  on this earth  will came  to a sudden  end . Then after  a long period  of time , when Allah  will wish , all the people  who have ever  lived will  come to  life  again  and rise once again  in the new world . The body of every person  who has ever lived  on the earth  will rise , at Allah's  command  and be united  again  to its soul . This is called  Resurrection  or  the day of Great Rising . Then Allah  will judge  each one of us  in the  presence  of everybody . This is no dream . It is  a terrible  reality . Those who  committed  ruinous  sins , and died  without feeling  sorry , will be punished  in Hell . Those  who did  not  believe   in Allah  and His  Messengers  and lived  a life  of obstinate  rebellion  against  Allah    will be thrown  into  Hell , where they  will suffer  greatly  and  their  suffering  will never end .

 But those who  believed  in Allah  and His Messengers  and did  good deeds  will  be welcome  into the  joys  of heaven  where  they will live forever . This manse  death is not  an end  but it is  a beginning . 

 Prepare "now" for "then":

 When, where  and  how will we  die ? Only Allah  knows . It is  Allah's  secret .  But  while  we live  we have  time  to do mush  good to earn  our reward  in the  hereafter . Time  is running  out . Time  and tide  wait for no man  .We are rapidly  running  towards  Allah . We are on a  journey  to our final homeland . The most  precious  thing in our  possessions  is Time . Every lost thing can be  regained  but it is useless  to hope  for the return  of time  which has passed away.

 Therefore  make  the best use time . take  it by the  forelock . Remember  you are passing  through  a very important phase  of your life . You are preparing  for  your future . Be on your  guard . Develop  new talent . Learn  new skills . Build up a  sound  health . Most important  of all offer  your  Salawat  completely . Do not skip  your  prayers . People who relax  their prayers, one day  give  them up. Remember school, study ,  talking  food, rest and  every other  good occupation  become  Ibadah, - worship - if  carried  out with the  intention  to seek Allah's  pleasure . It is  the right  intention  that sanctifies  work , rest ,  our joys and  our  sorrow .

 Stay  away  from boys and girls , who do  bad things .  Do not utter  anything  shameful  . Do not do anything  shameful . Remember modesty  and   faith are  companions .

 Always  speak  the truth , even  if it takes courage . Obey your parents  and  teachers and  do not  speak  about  the faults  of others  unless  you have   a strong  reasons . Get up early  in the morning . Recite  a portion  from the Quran  daily . Whenever  bad thoughts  invade  your mind , chase them away  saying :

 

 and  quickly  turn your attention  to something  creative  and useful . Do  you  know  an empty  mind  is  a  devil's  workshop?

 Everything that happens ; happens at Allah's  command:

 Always  remember, everything that happens , happens at Allah's command. A Muslim believes  in fate - Good and evil. He believes  that everything  that happens  in this world  is  a part of Allah's plan . Nothing  happens  by itself . And  everything  that happens  has  a meaning . But  this does  not  mean  that we  must  not  do our part . " Shall  I tie  my camel  and rely  on Allah " the Prophet was  once  asked " or not tie  it and  rely  on Allah's  will ? He  replied , Tie it,  then  rely  on Allah's will .

 From a habit  of never being  idle . Nothing  good in life  can be  achieved  by  laziness . If  hard times  come  your way , trust  Allah, and  instead  of just  sitting  ; do something  about it .

  The Quran   teaches  that  if  something  goes wrong, we  should  not despair  . There  is  nothing  more  sorrowful  than to  despair. We  must place  our  trust  in Allah  and hope  that everything  will turn out  to be good  in the end.
