Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu
Abû Bakr Al-Siddîq -to 'Umar (ra) on his Deathbed- When Abû Bakr Al-Siddîq was on his deathbed he called 'Umar – [Allah be pleased with them] – and said:- Fear Allah o 'Umar, and know that Allah has deeds to be done for Him in the day which He will not accept if done at night! and He has deeds to be done for Him at night which He will not accept if done during the day! He will not accept extra (nâfilah) deeds unless you fulfill the obligatory deeds. The scales of those whose scales will be weighty on the Day of Resurrection will only be weighty because they followed the truth in this life and it was weighty to them. And scales in which the truth will be placed tomorrow truly deserve to be heavy. ~ And the scales of those whose scales will be light on the Day of Resurrection will only be light because they followed falsehood in this life and it was a light matter to them { !!! } And scales in which falsehood will be placed tomorrow truly deserve to be light. Allah the Exalted has mentioned the people of Paradise and mentioned them in the context of their best deeds, and overlooked their evil deeds! so when I remember them I say to myself:- I fear that I will not be included with them!!! And Allah the Exalted has mentioned the people of Hell and mentioned them in the context of their worst deeds and rejected their best deeds, so when I remember them I say:- I hope I won't be amongst them {!!!} Allah's worshippers should always be in a state of hope and fear! they shouldn't wish flimsy wishes about Allah and neither should they despair of Allah's mercy. If you keep to this advice of mine, no one who is not with you now should be more beloved to you than Death {!!!} and ... it is sure to come to you!!! But if you disregard this advice, no one who is not with you now should be more hated to you than death – and you cannot escape it.

My 'Salaams ' to U All ~ ~Y a s m i n~ "Never Despair Of The Mercy Of Allah" "All that is on earth will Perish. But will abide {Forever} the Face of thy Lord, full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour" {'Quran'- Surah Al-Rahman-55.26-27 } 'Wasting time is Worse than Death! Because Death Separates you from this World Whereas wasting Time Separates you from Allah'. Ibn Qayimm Al-Jawziyyah. I Want to Die With my Forhead on the Ground! The Sunnah in my Heart, Allah on my Mind, Qur'an on my Tongue, and Tears in my Eyes! 'Insha Allah'! ' Son of Adam! You are nothing but a number of days, whenever each day passes then part of you has Gone. [Al-Hasan Al-Basree]
