GOOD DEEDS...is all that counts

Read and believe my fellow Muslims...

I am lying on the bed. My children, brothers and sisters
are all sitting by my bedside. Some close friends too
are standing and overlooking my face. Suddenly I start
breathing with long breaths. Someone among the
people sitting in the room. Everyone around repeats
with the reciter. My breath starts to ease out. I am
opening my eyes and looking at something. Angel of
death has arrived. I am getting late for the eternal
journey. My mouth has opened up. My brother is
dropping some water into my mouth, it is perhaps the
"Zam Zam" water which I had preserved for the very
moment.

Then everyone starts to recite, "Laa'ilaaha illallaaha
Muhammadur Rasoolullaah". I have lost my vision. I
have lost my tongue, I have even lost my sensation but
I can still hear. I can hear my loved ones weeping in
grief. I'm not dead yet but I am almost lifeless. Angel
of death makes the final act and takes my soul out
with an intensive jerk. I have now left this world.

All my wealth, cars, properties, bank balances, contacts
and connections are of no use now. My identity is my
grave and I am being referred to as 'dead body'. My
near ones are preparing my grave and some of them
think it as inauspicious to keep the dead body inside
the house for too long. The house which I myself built
and lived in is shrinking in space for me. My bath is
being prepared. I am taken out in the compound for the
final bath. My bathroom fitted with expensive bath
fittings is not for me now.

I am being wrapped in the white cotton shroud. I am
boxed in a wooden box for the travel to my grave. My
expensive car is not for me now.

For what then did I amass so many worthless things.
Why did I lie to earn the useless wealth. It is of no use
to me. Woe to me for I wasted my life in vain. I forgot
that my last journey is near and certain. Why did I sin
so much ? Oh! I have lost my game.

Now stop imagining This is going to happen one day
with you and me. So be prepared. Good deeds will
make your journey and the life of the Hereafteru
pleasant. Remember death. It is certain. It is so near.
This world is just a short dream..... WAKE UP B4 ITS
TOO LATE!

A Beautiful Hadith

Rasulullah ( ﺻﻞ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) said:
'When a man dies and his relatives are busy in funeral,
there stands an extremely handsome man by his head.
When the dead body is shrouded, that man gets in
between the shroud and the chest of the deceased.

When after the burial, the people return home, 2
angels, Munkar and Nakeer(names of two special
Angels), come in the grave and try to separate this
handsome man so that they may be able to interrogate
the dead man in privacy about his faith. But the
handsome man says, 'He is my companion, he is my
friend. I will not leave him alone in any case. If you are
appointed for interrogation, do your job.. I cannot leave
him until I get him admitted into Paradise '. Thereafter
he turns to his dead companion and says, 'I am the
Qur'an, which you used to read, sometimes in a loud
voice and sometimes in a low voice. Do not worry.

After the interrogation of Munkar and Naker, you will
have no grief..' When the interrogation is over, the
handsome man arranges for him from Al-Mala'ul A'laa
(the angels in Heaven) silk bedding filled with musk.
Rasulullah( ﺻﻞ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) said: 'On the Day of
Judgement, before Allah, no other Intercessor will have
a greater status than the Qur'an, neither a Prophet nor
an angel.' Please keep Sharing this 'Hadith' to all
....because Rasulullah ( ﺻﻞ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ )
said: 'Pass on knowledge from me even if it is only one
verse'. May Allah bestow this favour on all of us.
