in them. Neither concern for food nor drink remains. Special preparations are undertaken for every question that holds even the faintest possibility of inclusion in the exam. They only have one purpose in mind; they must prepare for the exam and attain a good mark.

Throughout this entire period, parents offer their complete support to their children because they know that if their child is successful, he will go on to become a great person, and all of them will be held in high regard amongst their relatives. Also, he will earn a lot of money which will lead to an improvement in their future.

Ponder for a moment! When we and our children become so engaged for worldly reasons, then our effort in preparing for the test of the Hereafter should be far greater. Ponder! Have we ever contemplated the test of the Hereafter? Have we thought about preparing for the test of the Hereafter? Have we ever become restless whilst thinking about our success in the test of the Hereafter? May Allah Almighty grant us the ability to frequently contemplate the Hereafter. 

اٰمِیْن بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِیْن صلَّی اللہ عَلَیْہِ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Unique remorse

Dear Islamic brothers! Remember! Where heedlessness brings about numerous worries and hardships, it also distances a person from contemplating the Hereafter. A life spent in heedlessness destroys a person. Our pious predecessors رَحْمَۃُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَیْہِمْ اَجْمَعِیْن had the mindset of not allowing even a single moment to pass in a state of heedlessness, rather that every second of theirs should be spent in carrying out pious deeds that earn the pleasure of Allah Almighty. These noble personalities, despite living upright lives performing acts of righteousness, were always fearful that their action may have been deemed as heedlessness.
