On self-examination
In the Quran, Allaah Says (what means): "We will set up the scales of justice for the day of resurrection, and no soul shall be treated unjustly at all. And if there is [even] the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountants. " [Quran, 21:47 ] Allaah also says, (what means): "Let every soul see what it sends on before it for the day of account." [Quran 59:18] Caliph ‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab may Allaah be pleased with himsaid, "Call yourselves to account before you are called to account."
The righteous men and women are always fully aware that they have come into this world to carry on a spiritual undertaking the resulting gain or loss of which is Paradise or Hellfire. He, therefore, is a wise man who strife in worship and says to his soul, "O my soul, you have only one life; no single moment that has passed can be recovered, for in the counsel of Allaah the number of breaths allotted to you is fixed, and cannot be increased. When life is over, no further spiritual work is possible for you; therefore what you do, do now; treat this day as if your life had been already spent and this were an extra day granted to you by the special favor of the Almighty. What can be greater folly than to lose it?"
At the resurrection, a man will find all the hours of his life arranged like a long series of treasure-chests. The lid of one will be opened, and it will be seen to be full of light: it represents an hour which he spent in doing good. His heart will be filled with such joy that even a fraction of it would make the inhabitants of Hellfire forget the fire. The lid of a second will be opened; it is pitch-dark within, and from it issues such an evil odor as will cause every one to hold his nose: it represents an hour which he spent in ill-doing, and he will suffer such terror that a fraction of it would embitter Paradise for the blessed. The lid of a third treasure-chest will be opened; it will be seen to be empty and neither light nor dark within: this represents the hour in which he did neither good nor evil. Then he will feel remorse and confusion like that of a man who has been the possessor of a great treasure and wasted it or let it slip from his grasp.
Thus the whole series of the hours of one's life will be displayed, one by one, to his gaze. Therefore a man should, say to his soul every morning, "Allaah has given you twenty-four treasures; take heed lest you lose any one of them, for you will not be able to endure the regret that will follow such loss."
The Remembrance of Allaah
This consists in a man's remembering that Allaah observes all his acts and thoughts. People only see the outward, while Allaah sees both the outer and inner man.
When Zulaykhah, the king's wife, tempted Prophet Yoosuf (Joseph) may Allaah exalt his mentionshe cast a cloth over the face of the idol she used to worship. Yoosuf may Allaah exalt his mentionsaid to her, "O Zulaykhah, you are ashamed before a block of stone, and should I not be ashamed before Him Who created the seven heavens and the earth?"
‘Abdullaah Ibn Deenaar related, "Once I was walking with the Caliph ‘Umar near Makkah when we met a shepherd's slave-boy driving his flock. ‘Umar may Allaah be pleased with himsaid to him, "Sell me a sheep." The boy answered, "They are not mine, but my master's. Then, to try him, ‘Umar may Allaah be pleased with himsaid, "Well, you can tell him that a wolf carried one off, and he will know nothing about it." "No, he won't," said the boy, "But Allaah will." ‘Umar may Allaah be pleased with himwept, then sent for the boy's master, purchased him and set him free. He told the boy, "For this saying you are free in this world and shall be free in the next."
