* The people who mock the righteous scholars are in desperate need of taking lessons from this.

The Pious Predecessors and their Concern for Iman

Dear Islamic brothers! Indeed, the fortunate Muslim is the one who spends his life performing actions that earn the pleasure of Allah Almighty and is successful in preserving his faith at the time of death. Therefore, everyone should be cautious and alert in regards to protecting their faith. Especially those who pray, observe fasts, give to charity and perform optional worship. Sometimes, the Devil deceives these people and makes them heedless regarding the preservation of their faith by whispering, “You have performed an abundance of good deeds, you can rest now. These deeds will earn you forgiveness and be enough to take you to Paradise.” If this thought enters your mind, disregard it immediately, and never rely on your deeds. To rid yourself of this satanic whisper, remember the accounts of our pious predecessors; how they feared Allah Almighty and how they were always concerned about their faith, despite their abundance of worship.

When Sayyiduna Huzayfah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ approached the time of his death, he cried and was severely worried. When the people asked why he was crying, he said, “I am not crying because I am leaving this world, for death is beloved to me. I am crying because I do not know if I am leaving this world while Allah Almighty is pleased with me or displeased with me.”^{^[2]}
