Fear Allah when you do things in secret
indeed hypocrisy will not benefit you.
﷽
Allah ﷻ says
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْت
Every Soul shall taste death.
Remember that it hurries towards you!
You and I cannot escape it!
Allah ﷻ says about it,
أَيْنَمَا تَكُونُواْ يُدْرِككُّمُ الْمَوْتُ وَلَوْ كُنتُمْ فِى بُرُوجٍ مُّشَيَّدَةٍ
Wheresoever you may be, death will overtake you even if you are in fortresses built up strong and high
What then is left except to prepare for it?
Set forth something in order to help myself and raise myself in the Akhirah.
What is left except preparing for the Day you die, in order to die with Iman and Honour in the eyes of Allah ﷻ?
_
Because Death is the beginning of Al Akhirah,
A Good Death means ease in the grave.
A Bad Death means Torment in it.
_
And you will only die the way you lived,
and in turn raised the way you died.
The one who died in a state of Sujood, Ibaadah, Salah, you name it! This person will be raised as such on Qiyamah.
Then what is the case of the one who is raised Junub from the Zina in which he died in?
Or The one who is raised high on weed
or drunk before Allah ﷻ?
Allah ﷻ poses the question,
أَلا يَظُنُّ أُوْلَـئِكَ أَنَّهُمْ مَّبْعُوثُونَ - لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
Do they not think that they will be resurrected,
on a Great Daymeaning, do these people not fear the resurrection and standing before He Who knows the hidden matters and the innermost secrets, on a Day that contains great horror and tremendous fright Whoever loses on this Day will be made to enter into a blazing fire.
_
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَـلَمِينَ
The day when mankind will stand in front of the Lord of the Worlds.
meaning, they will stand barefooted, naked and uncircumcised at a station that will be difficult, hard, and distressful for the criminals.
This is why Muhammad ﷺ said
أكثروا ذكر هادم اللذات
Remember increasingly, the destroyer of pleasures.
Why?
So it snaps you out of your love of this Dunya,
it shocks you awake, and keeps you in tune to the realities that surround you.
So Fear Allah ﷻ in your daily life
so you become from the Muttaqeen,
Wallahi, we want to forget Death will come swiftly
and this lulls us into a false sense of security,
Whether we remember or not, it still comes!
