🌸 *FRIDAY SERIES* 🌸
by Asma bint Shameem
🌿 *Yet another Friday* 🌿
So it’s another Friday.
We will perform ghusl.
We will attend the Jumu’ah prayer.
We will read Surah al-Kahf.
Then, before we know it, it will be another Friday.
Brothers and sisters,
Time is flying.
It seems like yesterday but a whole week has passed since last Friday.
Similar is our life.
Hours turn into days.
Days turn into weeks.
Weeks turn into months.
And months turn into years.
*BLINK...*
*Before we know it, our time is up.*
Yes that’s right.
Just like that.
In a flash of a second.
🍃al-Hasan al-Basri said:
“Son of Adam! You are nothing but a number of days. With each passing day a part of you has also gone.”
🍃And he also said:
"The world is but *three days:*
As for *yesterday*, it has vanished along with all that was in it.
As for *tomorrow*, you may never see it.
As for *today*, it is yours, so *work* on it."
📌*ASK yourself this:*
🔺*How did I spend my time from last Friday to today?*
🔺*Have I improved my relationship with Allaah since last Friday?*
🔺*Did I do anything to benefit my Ummah?*
🔺*What have I done for my Aakhirah?*
🔺*What can I do to make it better?*
And Allaah knows best.
