Title: A story to remember
Tags: A story to remember
Blog Entry: I t was early in the morning at four,When death knocked upon a bedroom door, Who is there? The sleeping one cried.I'm Malkul Mawt, let me inside. At once, the man began to shiver,As one sweating in deadly fever, He shouted to his sleeping wife,Don't let him take away my life. Please go away, O Angel of Death!Leave me alone; I'm not ready yet. My family on me depends,Give me a chance, O please prepense! The angel knocked again and again,Friend! I'll take your life without a pain, Tis your soul Allah requires,I come not with my own desire. Bewildered, the man began to cry,O Angel I'm so afraid to die, I'll give you gold and be your slave,Don't send me to the unlit grave. Let me in, O Friend! The Angel said,Open the door; get up from your bed, If you do not allow me in,I will walk through it, like a Jinn. The man held a gun in his right hand,Ready to defy the Angel's stand. I'll point my gun, towards your head,You dare come in; I'll shoot you dead. By now the Angel was in the room,Saying, O Friend! Prepare for you doom. Foolish man, Angels never die,Put down your gun and do not sigh. Why are you afraid! Tell me O man,To die according to Allah's plan? Come smile at me, do not be grim,Be Happy to return to Him. O Angel! I bow my head in shame,I had no time to take Allah's Name. >From morning till dusk, I made my wealth,Not even caring for my health. Allah's command I never obeyed,Nor five times a day I ever prayed. A Ramadan came and a Ramadan went,But no time had I to repent. The Hajj was already FARD on me,But I would not part with my money. All charities I did ignore,Taking usury more and more. Sometimes I sipped my favorite wine,With flirting women I sat to dine. O Angel! I appeal to you,Spare my life for a year or two. The Laws of Quran I will obey,I'll begin SALAT this very day. My Fast and Hajj, I will complete,And keep away from self-conceit. I will refrain from usury,And give all my wealth to charity, Wine and wenches I will detest,Allah's oneness I will attest. We Angels do what Allah demands,We cannot go against His commands. Death is ordained for everyone,Father, mother, daughter or son. I'm afraid this moment is your last,Now be reminded, of your past, I do understand your fears,But it is now too late for tears. You lived in this world, two score and more,Never did you, your people adore. Your parents, you did not obey,Hungry beggars, you turned away. Your two ill-gotten, female offspring,In nightclubs, for livelihood they sing. Instead of making more Muslims,you made your children non-Muslims. You ignored the Mua'dhin Adhaan,Nor did you read the Holy Quran. Breaking promises all your life,Backbiting friends, and causing strife. >From hoarded goods, great profits you made,And your poor workers, you underpaid. Horses and cards were your leisure,Moneymaking was your pleasure. You ate vitamins and grew more fat,With the very sick, you never sat. A pint of blood you never gave,Which could a little baby save? O Human, you have done enough wrong,You bought good properties for a song. When the farmers appealed to you,You did not have mercy, tis true. Paradise for you? I cannot tell,Undoubtedly you will dwell in hell. There is no time for you to repent,I'll take your soul for which I am sent. The ending however, is very sad,Eventually the man became mad With a cry, he jumped out of bed,And suddenly, he fell down dead. O Reader! Take moral from here,You never know, your end may be near Change your living and make amendsFor heaven, on your deeds depends. If this poem inspires you,It can help someone too. ********************************************** At least take sometime, and do not make it ban And send it to as many people as you can. What do yohave for your END? Take Care with: The END The End ======================== ALLAHU AKBAR:Allah is great During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it is only 1 minute) All you have to do is the following: You simply say "A prayer" for the person that sent you this message. Next, you send this message to everyone you know. In a while, more people will have prayed for you and you would have obtained a lot of people praying for others. Next, stop and think and appreciate Allah's power in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to him. If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the instructions. Allah said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you." If you are not ashamed, send this message...only if you believe. "Yes, I love Allah. Allah is my fountain of Life and My Savior. Allah keeps me going day and night. Without Allah, I am no one. But with Allah, I can do everything. Allah is my strength." This is a simple test. If you love Allah and you are not ashamed of all the great things that he has done for you, send this to everyone you know,and the person that sent it to you.May Allah help u to succeed...Ameen =================================== In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful * Rasulullah S.A.W. said "the easiest way of obtaining Jannah is by obeying your father * Rasulullah S.A.W. said "Jannat lies under the feet of your mother" * Rasulullah S.A.W. said "if you read the kalima with conviction just once... Jannah becomes upon you * Rasulullah S.A.W. said a women who reveals her body or even wears tight fitting clothes while dressing.... wont come within 500 years of the smell of Jannah * Rasulullah S.A.W. said "the dust which settles on a man while he is out in the path of Allah... not only the fire, but the smoke of Jahannam is haraam for those parts of the body. * Rasulullah S.A.W. said "I only curse 3 types of people 1. those people who do not look after their parents when they are in old age 2. those people who do not take full advantage of the blessed month of Ramadhan 3. those people who don not say Salallahu - Alayhi - Wasallam when my name is mentioned * Rasulullah S.A.W said "an intelligent person is one who is constantly thinking about and preparing for death" * Rasulullah S.A.W. said "It is better for a man that a steel nail be driven through the centre of his head.... rather than if he touches the palm of a strange women" PLEASE TAKE 2 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME TO READ THIS. ------------------------------ ------------------ >> Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Quran says. Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, think, say, or doanything the Quran says.Funny or is it scary? Funny how someone can say "I believe in Allah" but still follow Shaitaan (who, by the way, also "believes"in Allah). Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding Allah, people think twice about sharing. Funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but the public discussion of Allah is suppressed in the school and workplace. Funny, isn't it? Funny how someone can be so fired up for Allah on Friday but be an invisible Muslim the rest of the week. Are you laughing? Funny how when you go to forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them. Funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what Allah thinks of me. Are you thinking? ============================== ============= The following message in the next seven days should reach at least FIVE MILLION Muslims all over the world, Insha-Allah.
