An appointment!

When one's time sets in, one has to go. One will not get a little more time to complete whatever one was doing. And that time comes without appointment. One cannot refuse to meet it. There is no excuse of occupation, illness, etc. However one is, wherever one is, one cannot miss this appointment. And finally as soon as the mission is completed, one's family will not allow one to stay in one's house that one had built with great pleasure and extravagance. But now, this house does not belong to one anymore. It now belongs to one's heirs. One's clothes, watch, jewels, mobile phone and money will be taken away from one's body. Everything will be removed from one's body including one's artificial teeth in one's mouth also. Worst of all is if one's tooth is of gold. One will be buried underground with a few meters of sheet on one's body. Nothing can help one at that time. One will have only one hope. It is the grace of Allah Ta'ala. And this is found in living for Allah Ta'ala according to the principles of our Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam). Here is Ramadan approaching. This is a golden opportunity that one got again. Let's take the maximum benefit possible. Let’s not let it go to waste!
