assalamualaikum everyone,
i was driving to work today and passed by a graveyard and something came to my mind. i thought: how lucky are we to be muslims, I mean do we really think about this, do our actions reflect this? are we really greatful that we are muslims or do we always ask the question why me? what did i do to deserve this? do we focus on the low points in life or do we reflect on all the millions of uncountable blessings that Allah has given us? think about it, the single blessing that we are muslim is sufficient of a blessing, if we were to thank Allah from now untill the day of judgement, it would not be enough, we would not return the favour.
no matter how bad life can get or how many worries we have or how lonely we may feel at times, remember the favour of Allah upon us, that we are muslims. when we enter paradise (inshaAllah) all these worries, all the tests we had in life will vanish and be forgotten. Allah will ask us in paradise, are you satisfied and we will reply, o Allah why will we not be satisified when you have forgiven us our sins and entered us into paradise. at this Allah replies: from now on I will always be pleased with you and at this point, the inhabitants of paradise will say: Allah show us yourself. imagine having the chance to see Allah, it will be more amazing that everything in Paradise!
I meet such nice people everyday be it customers or collegues, and I always wish in my heart that they are muslim. we are so blessed, I wish that we can all put a positive effort, by our character, to show people what Islam is really about. those people in their graves, there chance is gone, whereas we still have this chance to do good, please do not waste this chance.
