being Fard for them. We adopt different techniques in order to increase wealth, but become lazy in the matter of blessing in virtuous deeds.
Remember! We still have time, therefore we should wake up to the fact and repent immediately lest the death carries us away from our lavishly decorated room to a dark grave infested with insects and then we will plead: O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Send me back to the world. I will worship You abundantly, spend my entire wealth in Your path. Remember! At that time, these pleadings will bring no benefit because the Holy Quran has already warned us about it. In Ayah 10 & 11 of Surah-e-Munafiqun, Part 28, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has stated:
وَ اَنْفِقُوْا مِنْ مَّا رَزَقْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ یَّاْتِیَ اَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ فَیَقُوْلَ رَبِّ لَوْ لَاۤ اَخَّرْتَنِیْۤ اِلٰۤى اَجَلٍ قَرِیْبٍۙ-فَاَصَّدَّقَ وَ اَكُنْ مِّنَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ(۱۰)وَ لَنْ یُّؤَخِّرَ اللّٰهُ نَفْسًا اِذَا جَآءَ اَجَلُهَاؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ خَبِیْرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ۠(۱۱)
‘And spend from what We have provided you before death approaches any one of you and he then says, ‘My Rab! Why did you not give me respite for a little while, so that I could give charity and become amongst the virtuous?’ And Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will never give respite to any soul when its promise arrives; and Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is aware of your deeds.’
(Kanz-ul-Iman [Translation of Quran]) (Surah-e-Munafiqun, Ayah 10-11, juz 28)
Dear Islamic sisters! It has become obvious that a person wakes up to the fact at the time of death. At that time she feels greatly sad. She wishes she could have got some more respite (time) and performed some virtuous deeds. She wishes she had not spent her life heedlessly. She wishes she could have made her Lord happy, but she will get no benefit for her regret that time. Therefore wise is she who not being heedless performs a great many virtuous deeds in her lifetime and enters her grave with the Madani luminosity of Sunnah to brighten up her grave. Otherwise, in case of displeasing Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم she will get nothing but regret and wistfulness.
