Creator of the heavens and earth, You are my protector in this world and the Hereafter. Cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the righteous. [Surah Yusuf, #101]
Words of Wisdom
One of the biggest tricks of shaytan is that he causes us to forget our mortality. People sometimes say and do things and ignore that they will have to stand in front of Allah, who will hold them accountable for their actions. Other times, people become so engrossed in this world's delights and neglect and abandon their religious principles and values. The way that we avoid both problems is to remember death frequently and consistently ask Allah to cause us to die in a state of Iman.We ask Allah to cause us to die while He is pleased with us and we are in the highest state of Iman.
Hadeeth of the Day
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah () said, "Remember more often the destroyer of pleasures - death."
(At-Tirmidhi)
