Striving For Jannah
Below is a picture of a man who died in sajdah in Masjid an-Nabawi.
When I saw this, I immediately imagined Malik al Mawt 'alayhis-salaam coming to this person while he was in sajdah, and just reaching in, and removing his soul. He didn't even have time to sit up and look (rahmatullahi 'alayh).
Our moments are priceless. We never know when we'll look up and see Malik al Mawt there for us. Before we can ask him why he's there, his job will be done.
"Know that the only thing that can keep a saalik away from Allah Ta'ala is laziness, and there is no cure for laziness except for hard work and effort." ~Shaykh Mufti Kamaluddin Ahmed (db)
"Have you ever been awakened in the morning by the alarm clock in the middle of a wonderful dream? What happens? You try to go back to sleep, but what doesn't happen? The dream doesn't return. Life is that dream. If you knew you were going to die one year from today, what would you do with the next year of your life? Do those things." [The Rhythm of Life]
