A Lesson for Life - for one and all

Almighty Allah says in Al Hadith al Qudsi

I wonder how a person can be happy, who is certain of death.

I wonder at a person who is certain of reckoning

(the Day of Judgement), but still accumulates wealth.

I wonder at a person who is certain of going into the grave,

but still smiles without concern.

I wonder at a person who is certain of this world's doom,

but still has tranquility in loving this world.

I wonder at a person who is certain of the hereafter and its bounties

but he still rests.

I wonder at a person, who is knowledgeable in his speech,

BUT ignorant in his heart.

I wonder at a person, who cleans him/herself with water,

But does not cleanse his heart.

I wonder at people, who look for bad points in others,

But are unaware of the same in themselves.

I wonder at a person who knows that Almighty Allah is aware of his

actions, but still commits sins.

I wonder at a person, who preaches to the people,

But does not preach to his own soul.

I wonder at a person, who knows that he/she will die alone,

Go into the grave alone & give accounts alone,

But is still totally engrossed with

people who will not be able to help him/her.
