upon Allah to admit him into Paradise, whether he emigrates for Allah’s cause or stays People you may know See All

So how can we gain eternal bliss? How can we make the best of every second we have Himanshu Joshi (Himansch)

to ensure that we gain the top ranks of Jannah?

1. Fulfill our Obligatory duties unto Allah
GROUP CONVERSATIONS
There is NO doubt that we must fulfill our obligations unto Allah before anything else.
We cannot expect to get closer to Allah and gain high ranks of Jannah without fulfilling Maria Jimenez (Luz
Khosravani) Create new group
our obligatory duties unto him. 4 mutual friends
Add Friend Remove
It is stated according to Hadith Qudsi:
“Whoever draws near to Me among those drawn near by fulfilling what I have made Regina Reza
obligatory on them…. 6 mutual friends

You do not draw near to Allah except by fulfilling the obligatory duties which Allah has Add Friend Remove
made obligatory on you; (that is) the obligatory duties from the obligatory duties (Faraid)
such as Prayers, and Zakat (obligatory charity), and Hajj, and Fasting and being good
to Parents and all these obligatory duties on you draw you near to Allah, the Glorified
and the Exalted.
So the first thing we must do is to fulfill ALL our obligatory duties to Allah and abstain
from that which Allah and his messenger have forbidden us from.
2. Doing everything to please Allah
We must to do EVERYTHING in our daily life which pleases Allah and stay away from
anything which angers or displeases him.
Abu Hurayrah (RA) reported regarding the saying of Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi
wasallam) said: "If I forbid you to do something, then keep away from it. And if I order
you to do something, then do of it as much as you can." (Al-Bukhaari)
3. Striving to get closer to Allah
Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu anhu reports that the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) in a
Hadith Qudsi narrated that Allah says:
I treat My slaves according to his expectations from Me.I am with him when he
remembers Me;and if he remembers Me in his heart,I remember him in My heart;and if
he remembers Me in a gathering,I remember him in a better and nobler gathering (of
angels).If he comes closer to Me by one span,I go closer to him an arm's length;if he
comes towards Me an arm's length,I go towards him two-arm's length;and if he comes
to Me walking,I run to him. (Bukhari)
So when a person strives to get closer to Allah through good deeds, then Allah turns
towards His slave with much more attention, mercy and help.
4. Maintaining Imaan (faith)
The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: “Faith wears out in the heart of any one
of you just as clothes wear out, so ask Allaah to renew the faith in your hearts.”
(Reported by al-Haakim, al-Tabaraani)
If we want to gain high ranks of Jannah we need to keep our Imaan topped up. This is
because Imaan fluctuates and needs to be maintained otherwise it may fall dangerously
low resulting in us losing our way and opening a path for shaythan to misguide us.
Our Imaan can only be constantly high if we maintain it by doing good actions and
everything which pleases Allah. Without making effort our Imaan will fall low and we will
be vulnerable to attack.
5. Being thankful to Allah
We should always ask of Allah to make us of the appreciative and thankful. We should
constantly think of the favours that Allah has done for us and know that even if we spent
our whole lives worshipping Allah then we would NEVER be able to repay him for even
one blessing he has given us. Therefore we should be thankful to him and never be
ungrateful:
"Therefore remember Me, I will remember you, And be thankful to Me, and do not be
ungrateful to Me." [Qur'an 2:152]
6. Being constant in Repentance
Allah loves repentance and loves those who turn to him in repentance:
Truly Allah loves those who turn [to Him] in repentance, and He loves those who keep
themselves in purity. (Qur'an 2:222)
7. Best Manners, Character & Conduct
We should strive to be of those with the best of characters and manners as that is what
will elevate us in the hereafter:

Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alahi wasallam) used to say: The best amongst you are those 3

Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: There is none heavier in the scales of the

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "The best loved by me and the nearest

R & S Insurance Agency 2
So let us strive to perfect our manners, character and conduct and know that these
good deeds will be of the heaviest on the scales and will enable us to reach the highest CONTACTS
ranks of Jannah
8. Reading & implement Qur'an into daily life Carmen Reza Romberg
Ibn Kathir says regarding tafsir of [Soorah al-A'raf (7): 179]:The similitude of the one,
who memorizes the Qur'an but does not act in accordance to it, is like a donkey, which Laura Reinig
carries a load of books, but does not understand!
Therefore we must not be of those who read the Qur'an but do not aim to understand it. Marilyn Garrison 6h
We should read and study the deeper meanings of the Qur'an and act upon everything
we read as this is what the Sahaaba did. Some of the Sahaaba took a very long time Meshbase Admin
finishing the Qur'an because they wanted to implement everything they read before
moving on to the rest of the Qur'an. Carmen Romberg
9. Knowing Allah by his attributes
Ibn al-Qayyim (RA) said: "There does not exist a need of the souls that is greater than Pilar Vargas 4h
their need for the knowledge of their Maker and Originator, and for possessing love of
Him, mentioning Him, being delighted at Him, and for seeking a means and position Alex Grig 11h
with Him. However, there is no route to this except by way of knowledge of His
characteristics and names. Thus, the more knowledgeable the servant is of these Steve Graber 7h
names and attributes, the more knowledgeable he will be of Allah, the more will be his
pursuit of His Pleasure, and the nearer he will be to Him. Likewise, the more averse he David Gollob 13h
is to the names and attributes, the greater ignorance he will have of Allah, the more will
be his dislike for Him and the further away he will be from Him. Allah affords the servant Ginger Popp-Clay 1h
a status with Him that is in accordance with the status that the servant gives to Allah
with himself..." ['al-Kafiyah ash-Shafiyah' p. 3-4] Ed Romberg 3h
Therefore we should try to know Allah by his names and his attributes. We should
contemplate and ponder over his majesty and greatness. By knowing Allah by his GROUP CONVERSATIONS

names and attributes we will feel ever closer to him and do everything to please him.

10. Fearing Allah
“Surely, Allah loves al - Muttaqun (God fearing).“ [At-Tawba: 4]
The fear of Allah is the source of pure soul - it is borne out of love and obedience. Thus
a pious person is constantly driven to do good only and guard against evil. He/She is
humble and does not flaunt his/her piety in front of others.
The fear of Allah beautifies the Iman and is the origin of all good as one to strive to do
only what pleases Allah and stay away from the things that would displeased Him. Piety
is an internal quality as the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said, “Taqwa is here”
whilst pointing to his chest (Muslim) and it is a quality that puts us above others in the
sight of Allah.
So in order to be raised in the highest of positions in the hereafter we need to fear Allah
and be aware that he is watching us at all times.
11. Memorising the Qur'an
Ibn 'Amr reported that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: "It will be said to
the companion of the Qur'aan after he has entered Paradise, 'Recite, and rise!' For
every verse he recites he will rise one level (in Paradise), until he recites the last verse
with him (i.e., in his memory)." (Aboo Dawood)
Therefore we should memorise as much of the Qur'an as possible in order to elevate
our position in the hereafter.
12. Concentrating in Salaah
Abu l-Aas (RA) reported that he said,“O Messenger of Allaah, the Shaytaan interrupts
me when I pray, and I get confused in my recitation.” The Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “That is a shaytaan whose name is
Khanzab. If you sense his presence, seek refuge with Allaah from him, and spit [dry
spitting] towards your left three times.” [Abu’l-‘Aas] said: “I did that and Allaah took him
away from me.”(Reported by Muslim, no. 2203)
Salaah is of the best and most important of all our worship so we must ensure that we
pray our Salaah as perfectly as possible as our Salaah is being scrutinised everytime
we pray and if we do not pray our Salaah properly and lack concentration then we will
not gain the full benefits of our Salaah and instead it will feel like a burden upon us.
Therefore we should strive to try and concentrate on our Salaah as much as possible
imagining that Allah is watching our every movement in prayer.
13. Men praying Fard Salaah in the Masjid
The Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: “I had considered ordering for the prayer
to be established, then I would order every man to pray and set loose men who have
with them logs of wood upon a people who did not come to the prayer and I would burn
their houses with the fire.” (Bukhari, Muslim)
This clearly indicates that there is no excuse for men to make a congregation at home if
they have a Masjid near them and it is possible for them to pray in one.
Honourable place in Jannah: It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (RA) that the Prophet
(Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: “Whoever goes to the mosque in the morning and
evening, Allaah will prepare for him an honourable place in Paradise every time he goes
and comes.” (Bukhaari, 631; Muslim, 669)
Therefore it is clear that men should establish a close connection with the house of
Allah, pray all of our Salaah on time and our fards in the Masjid:
14. Doing Voluntary Prayers & Fasts
Voluntary prayers:
Allah says in Hadith Qudsi: ….and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through
performing Nawafil (voluntary deeds) until I love him, so I become his sense of hearing
with which he hears, and his sense of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which
he grips, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me, I will give him, and if he
asks My Protection, I will protect him..." (Bukhari)
A Source of Elevation: The Prophet (SallAllahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Ask (anything)."
Rabi'ah said: "I ask of you to be your companion in paradise."The Prophet (SallAllahu
alayhi wasallam) said: “Anything else?" Rabi'ah said: "That is it." The Prophet( Search

SallAllahu alayhi wasallam)said to him: "Then help me by making many prostrations 3

Search Meshbase Home Find Friends Create
(i.e., supererogatory prayers)." (Muslim)
Therefore we should pray all of the voluntary prayers as the more prostrations we do
YOUR PAGES SEE ALL
the more closer we will get to Allah and the more chance we have of being in the
company of Rasulallah (SallAllahu alayhi wasallam) in Jannah:
Limo AMP
Voluntary fasting:
Abu Hurairah reported that the most the Prophet, (salla Allahu alaihi wa salam) would
Limo Lux 2
fast would be Monday and Thursday.
He was asked about that and he said: "The deeds of people are presented to Allah on
R & S Insurance Agency 2
every Monday and Thursday. Allah forgives every Muslim except for those who are
deserting each other. He says: "leave them for later." (Ahmad; Hasan) CONTACTS
Fasting the white days (3 days in the lunar month, 13th, 14th & 15th):
Abu Tharr Al-Ghefari said: "The Messenger of Allah, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said Carmen Reza Romberg
"O Abu Tharr! if you fast three days of every month, then fast the 13th, the 14th and the
15th [these are call the al-ayaam al-beedh, the white days]". (Ahmad, an-Nasaa'i and Laura Reinig
at-Tirmithi; Sahih)
Intercession for those who fast: “Fasting and the Qur’an will intercede for the slave on Marilyn Garrison 6h
the Day of Resurrection. Fasting will say: ‘O My Rabb! I prevented him from food and
desires, so accept my intercession for him.’ And the Qur’an will say: ‘I prevented him Meshbase Admin
from sleep during the night, so accept my intercession for him.’ He (sallallahu `alayhi wa
sallam) said: ‘And they will (be allowed to) intercede.’” (Ahmad, at-Tabarani, Al-Hakim, Carmen Romberg
Sahih)
So let us get closer to Allah by fasting Mondays & Thursdays or at least 3 days every Pilar Vargas 4h
lunar month on the 13th,14th and 15th. If we leave something for the pleasure of Allah
then we will get MUCH more in return! Alex Grig 11h
15. Remember & Glorify Allah night & day
Mu`adh ibn Jabal said that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: "The People of Steve Graber 7h
Paradise will not regret except one thing alone: the hour that passed them by and in
which they made no remembrance of Allah." Narrated by Bayhaqi in Shu`ab al-iman David Gollob 13h
(1:392 #512-513)
The highest rank in Jannah for those who remember Allah the most: Ginger Popp-Clay 1h
Abu Sa`id narrates: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) was asked, "Which of the
servants of Allah is best in rank before Allah on the Day of resurrection?" He said: "The Ed Romberg 3h
ones who remember him much." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, what about the fighter in
the way of Allah?" He answered:"Even if he strikes the unbelievers and mushrikin with GROUP CONVERSATIONS

his sword until it broke, and becomes red with their blood, truly those who do dhikr are
Create new group
better than him in rank." (Ahmad, Tirmidhi, and Bayhaqi)
Therefore we should remember Allah as much as is possible and glorify him night and
day for his remembrance is the best of deeds and will surely elevate our position in
Jannah:
16. Pray Tahajjud & beg & cry unto Allah for mercy & forgiveness
Abu Hurayra (RA) reports that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said, “The best
prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer.” (Muslim)
Therefore we should make a habit to pray Tahajjud in the latter portions of the night and
beg and cry unto Allah for mercy. The one who prays Tahajjud has their ranks elevated
in Jannah. The one who cries unto Allah in the depths of the night will surely be heard
for Allah tends to his servants who are crying for his mercy quicker just as a mother
tends to her crying baby:
17. Implement FULL Sunnah into daily life
Following the Sunnah is a command from Allah:
"Say (O Muhammad to mankind): "If you (really) love Allah, then follow me (i.e. accept
Islamic monotheism, follow the Quran and the Sunnah), Allah will love you and forgive
you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Quran: 3:31)
Surely if we follow the Prophet in every aspect of our life then everything that we do will
become a worship even going to the toilet, having a bath, dressing and undressing etc
“Whoever revives an aspect of my Sunnah that is forgotten after my death, he will have
a reward equivalent to that of the people who follow him, without it detracting in the
least from their reward.” (Tirmidhi)
Therefore let us revive the Sunnah and act upon every Sunnah we possibly can in our
daily lives so that our whole life and everything we do in our day is worship to Allah:
18. Giving charity
Spending in the way of Allah is of the best of deeds and will save us from the fire:
The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: “Charity wipes out sins as water
extinguishes fire.” (Tirmidhi)
Charity should be paid secretly: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said:
“Righteous deeds protect a person from an evil end; a charity spent in secret
extinguishes Allah’s wrath; and maintaining good ties of kinship increases ones
lifespan.” (Tabaraani)
Removing harmful objects from people’s way is also a charity: The Prophet (Sallallahu
Alaihi wasallam) said:“I saw a man enjoying himself in Paradise (simply) because he
removed from a road a tree that used to harm people.”(Muslim)
Providing for ones family is a charity: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said:“If a
man provides for his family hoping for the reward, it will be counted as charity for
him.”(Bukhari & Muslim)
So let us give in the way of Allah and know that we will get SO much more in return in
the hereafter.
19. Worship Allah in youth
We should make the best of our youth as it is the best time in ones life in order to turn to
Allah and worship him and do everything to please him refraining from anything which
angers or displeases him:
20. Making best use of time in worshipping Allah
Time is short and death is near. This is what we must always keep in mind everyday of
our lives and keep reminding ourselves of this fact.
And the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: “Make the most of five things before
five others: life before death, health before sickness, free time before becoming busy,
youth before old age, and wealth before poverty.” (Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 1077)
The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “There are two blessings which many
people do not make the most of and thus lose out: good health and free time.” (Bukhari,
6412)
We need to realise that time is short and death is around the corner. Any one of us can
go at ANY second so therefore we need to make the best of each precious second Search

His knowledge: What did he use it for? His money: Where did he gain it from and what

did he spend in it? And his body: In what did he wear it away?" (at-Tirmidhee)
Have we used our bodies for fasting, praying, enjoining good and forbidding evil or have CONTACTS
we used them up by succumbing to our desires?
Surely then we need to maximise the little time we have and spend each day as it is our Carmen Reza Romberg
last as it may well be. We must treat each day as a blessing for us and an opportunity to
do more good and to repent for our sins. So surely we must optimise each day by Laura Reinig
maximising our worship unto Allah:
22. Hasten in doing Good deeds Marilyn Garrison 6h
Abu Hurayrah narrates that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: “Hasten to do
good deeds before there come tribulations like pieces of a dark night, when a man will Meshbase Admin
be a believer in the morning and a kaafir by evening, or he will be a believer in the
evening and a kaafir by morning, selling his religious commitment for worldly gain.” Carmen Romberg
(Muslim, 118)
We must hasten in doing as many good deeds in our lives as possible for there is no Pilar Vargas 4h
doubt that the good effects of every good deed we do in this world in order to please
Allah will remain with us forever. Alex Grig 11h
Surely it is a worthwhile investment in that which will benefit us for eternity! So we must
be consistent in doing as many good deeds as possible in order to please Allah so that Steve Graber 7h
we may get closer to him.
Best deeds are those which are done most often even though they may be little: David Gollob 13h
The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: "The best loved deeds to Allah are the
ones that are continuous even if they are not very many."(Bukhari, Muslim) Ginger Popp-Clay 1h
Knowing the effects of our good deeds will last forever should motivate us even more to
make the best use of every second in order to do as much good as possible so that we Ed Romberg 3h
may please Allah.
23. Showing mercy & forgiveness unto others GROUP CONVERSATIONS

We should know that if we want forgiveness from Allah then we should also show mercy
Create new group
and forgiveness to others.
24. Inviting to the way of Allah
Surely we should spend our lives inviting others towards Allah whether they are Muslim
or non Muslim.
"Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is
right and forbidding what is wrong. They are prosperous ones."(3.104)
We should not argue with them or use a harsh manner but use wisdom, tact and the
best approach possible:
Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching and argue with them
in ways that are best and most gracious. (16:125)
We should enjoin good and forbid evil for it is a duty upon us:
The Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: ‘Indeed, by Allah, you either enjoin good
and forbid evil and catch hold of the oppressor and persuade him to act justly and stick
to the truth, or, Allah will involve the hearts of some of you with the hearts of others and
will curse you as he had cursed them’(At-Tirmidhi)
Whatever beneficial knowledge we have we should convey it unto others so that they
may also benefit from it:
Zaid b. Thabit (RA) narrated the Prophet(Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: "May Allah
cause to have freshness and brilliance the man who hears what I say and keeps it in
mind, then convey it to others. (Ahmad, 5-183)
We should know that any good action another does because of some beneficial
knowledge we have shared then we will also have a share of it:
"Whoever guides [another] to a good deed will get a reward similar to the one who
performs it." (Sahih Muslim)
25. Treating parents the best
To be obedient and to show kindness to parents has been enjoined in the Holy Quran in
such a manner as to say that among the noble deeds, to obey parents, treat them
respectfully and to show kindness to them is next to worshipping Almighty Allah.
The Quran says, "Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you
be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to
them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour." - Surah
Al Isra (17:23).
The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said:“What a loss is for him! What a loss is for
him! What a loss is for him!” Someone asked: “Who, O Allah's Messenger?” He replied:
“He whose parents reach old age, either one or both of them, and he does not use their
presence (by being good to them, etc.) to cause him to enter Paradise.” (Muslim)
Abdullah bin Mas'ood (RA), observed: "I asked Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi
wasallam) which deed was the best." He replied: 'The Prayer at its appointed hour.' I
(again) asked: "Then what?" He replied: 'Kindness to the parents.'... (Sahih Muslim:
120)
So let us treat our parents the best knowing that we will please Allah in doing so and
attain high ranks in Jannah.
26. Being patient through trials & hardships
Whatever tests, hardships and adversities we go through in life we should know that we
will be recompensed for it as long as we remain patient and accept the decree of Allah
and never question it. Surely trials and hardships are a blessing in disguise and Allah
wanting good for us.
A Muslim should adhere to patience when afflicted with calamity and should not submit
either to desperation nor despondence because if we are patient, everything that was
destined and preordained for us will occur and we will be rewarded. If we complain and
are hopeless, then all that was destined to us will occur, but we will be blamed for our
impatience at Allah’s Will.

27. Spending time in good company
We should try to spend as much time as possible with pious, righteous and learned CONTACTS
people and keep away from keeping bad friends and those who are loose in their talk
and have a bad influence towards us. Carmen Reza Romberg
The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said, “The case of the good companion and
the bad companion is like that of the seller of musk and the blower of the bellows (iron- Laura Reinig
smith). As for the seller of musk, he will either give you some of the musk, or you will
purchase some from him, or at least you will come away having experienced its good Marilyn Garrison 6h
smell. Whereas the blower of the bellows will either burn your clothing, or at least you
will come away having experienced its repugnant smell.” [Bukhari and Muslim] Meshbase Admin
Remember: “All friends will be enemies of one another on that Day (Day of Judgment)
except those of the virtuous.” (Al-Qur’an 43:67) Carmen Romberg
A scholar said: “keeping good company with the pious results in attainment of beneficial
knowledge, noble manners and righteous actions, whereas keeping company with the Pilar Vargas 4h
wicked prevents all of that.”
So let us keep good company and compete with them to do good deeds. Know that a Alex Grig 11h
good pious friend will make the path to Jannah an easier one and a bad friend will make
the path to Jahannam easier to. So which path would we rather take? Steve Graber 7h
28. Piety, Kindness & Justice
“Verily, then Allah loves those who are al-Muttaqun (the God fearing, pious).”(Quran: David Gollob 13h
3:76)
Being Just is piety: Ginger Popp-Clay 1h
"Be just: that is nearer to piety; and fear Allah." (Quran: 5:8)

gentle (to others)."
Aisha narrated: The Prophet (Sallallahu Aalaihi Wasallam) said: “Allah loves kindliness
in all matters.” (Bukhari)
29. Trusting in Allah (Tawakkul)
“Allah loves those who put their trust in Him.” [Ali 'Imran: 159]
The secret and reality of trust in Allah is the reliance of the heart on Allah alone.
Therefore trusting in Allah words are different from trusting in Him with the heart.
Reliance is doing and hoping - doing everything necessary within one’s capability to
achieve one’s aim and hoping with tranquillity of heart and soul and putting one’s trust
in Allah with firm belief that whatever the outcome is, it is a result of the Will of Allah and
His Decree.
One should never feel that too much time has passed by without his/her supplications
being answered; rather we should always place our hope on the One who is able to do
all things.
“If you all depend on Allah, with due reliance, he would certainly give you provision as
He gives to birds who go forth hungry in the morning and return with full bellies at dusk.”
(Tirmidhi)
"Certainly, Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him)." (Quran: 3:159)
So let us put our FULL trust in Allah and rely upon him and know that whatever
happens in our lives then he is there for us if only we relied upon him.
30. Reaching the highest peak of Imaan - Ihsaan
"Verily, Allah loves Al-Muhsinun (the good doers).” (Ali 'Imran: 134)
“Ihsan is to worship Allah as if you see Him and if you cannot achieve this devotion,
then you must know that He sees you.” (Bukhari)
So Ihsaan goes beyond a noble trait for it is an integral part of Islam.
It is the secret of an attentive heart - knowing that Allah is watching everything. This fills
the heart with respect and veneration and one becomes too embarrassed to go against
Allah’s commands. It promotes performance of good deeds for the sake of Allah and not
show or to gain praise or fame.
Surely this is the highest peak of Imaan where one imagines Allah to be watching him
where ever he/she is and whatever he/she may be doing.
This will also lead us to strive for our best in performing our Ibadah (Worship) - we will
be more sincere in our Ibadah. Thus Ihsaan is also about the best actions of the heart.
The actions that will lead to Ihsaan: to love Allah the most, to fear Allah the most, to
seek the help of Allah, to have hope in Allah that He will give us mercy and guide us, to
trust Allah wholly.
This is a stage we must all try to reach for it will send us plummeting to the highest
ranks of Jannah inshallah.
Conclusion
Now It is upto us to ensure that we do everything we can to obey the commands of
Allah and to strive to be closer to him and to please him in everything we do and to
refrain from doing anything which may anger or displease him.
We must align our intentions and actions to that of the Qur'an and Sunnah so that we
may be successful in this life and the next. We should know that this life is temporary
and can end at any second and that we will return to Allah and be questioned as to how
we lived our life. Are we ready for that? The time to prepare is now as tomorrow may
never come so there is no such thing as preparing tomorrow or the day after for change
must occur now.
This is our ONLY chance to do everything we can do make our eternity a blissful one.
We have this one opportunity to gain the highest ranks of Jannah but when this
opportunity ends and we have not prepared then we will regret FOREVER the one
chance that we missed out on.
We should continuously listen to good Islamic lectures particularly on death and the
hereafter in order to keep our Imaan high and hearts softened and so that we are
constantly reminded of our purpose here and that we can go at any second. Search
