Let's make a little Muraaqabah (Meditation)

What is in existence today was inexistent yesterday and what will be in existence tomorrow, is inexistent today. Everything changes. Nothing remains as it is. What is stable is instability. We will also not remain the same all the time. Let's set a target of 100 years after. That is, in the year 2101, we are more certain that every living creature that is present on earth will be underground. Few survivors may still exist on earth just as a reminder for us - "Once upon a time".

The site of our house today, was someone else's house yesterday. And we do not know who will be the new tenant tomorrow. 

No one is the owner. We are all tenants here. The only owner and true owner is Allah Ta’ala. However, we can become an owner in Jannah. Being an owner in Jannah will be for eternity.

Hence, how to get Jannah?

There is only one way. It is the grace of Allah Ta’ala. And the grace of Allah Ta’ala normally comes down on the one who has Imaan. Therefore, without Imaan, there is no Jannah.

That is why, regardless of whatever happens to us, nothing should occur to our Imaan as it is our greatest fortune. When we are leaving Dunya with Imaan, it means that everything will be alright. O Allah! Make us depart from Dunya with Imaan! Ameen.
