"Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord (Allah) and for a Garden (Heaven) whose width is that (of the whole) of the heavens and of the earth, prepared for the righteous (believing Muslims)."
Life is Like A Marathon Race
With Two Destinations:
With Two Destinations:
One To Heaven,
One To Hell
Two Kinds Of People Who Compete In Life:
1) Those who compete against each other to Heaven:
Through correct belief and sincere good deeds
Examples of thoughts of those who run towards Heaven:
"Let's see who:
~ can fast the most number of Sunnah fasts, for the sake of Allah
~ can memorize the whole Qur'an earliest, for the sake of Allah
~ amongst us is most punctual for the daily salahs and prays most perfectly, for the sake of Allah
~ has the best manners and character that pleases Allah and His Messenger (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam), for the sake of Allah
~ communicates with Allah the most and is among those most closest to Allah, for Allah's sake
~ will be nearest Allah and His Messenger Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) in Heaven
~ can guide the most number of people to Islam, for the sake of Allah" etc.
2) Those who compete against each other to Hell:
Through disbelief, atheism and evil deeds
Examples of thoughts of those who run towards Hell:
"Let's see who:
* can make the most number of videos that can keep people away from God (AstaghfurAllah)
* is most 'up to date with fashion' for the sake of pride (AstaghfurAllah)
* can earn the most number of fans while committing sins that lead to Hell (AstaghfurAllah)" etc.
The similitude/example of believers who compete against each other to Heaven is that of passengers who are competing against each other to take the free seats on a FIRST CLASS flight.
The similitude/example of disbelievers/sinners who compete in doing evil deeds is that of ignorant fools who are running towards a boiling pit of hell. "So you think you can be the first to dance in Hell?"
AstaghfurAllah. AstaghfurAllah. AstaghfurAllah.
Allah knows best.
