Assalamu - Alaikum!

After having prayed in Friday Namaaz - Juma'ah. The feeling of serenity has once again touched our heart, and revive our faith especially in the difficult situation we are in, and May Allaah (SWT) have mercy on us, and guide us to be strong in faith and in physical, Ameen!

The sermon was indeed intelectual, and it was some sermon that Imam has given, provided with fully explanation, and something that made us to ponder, to think, and to re arrange our priority with Islam and the world. It was very beautiful sermon that has indeed awaken our heart and our mind, and forced to think, and to serve a reminder of why we are in the world, and for what purpose? That's most important one must think, and think calmly, and most importantly, THINK.

We are living in today era where in our generation has developed an obsession, that to chase for the worldy dream, and to overlook the fact that why we are in the world in the first place. People always done their home work, for example, as one prepare a list, that one always plan about the future, and that what one person want to do this and that, to prepare for the future by too much focusing, and mostly, on the future career which is good, but not at the expense of what we are born to do in the first place.

We shouldn't forget the real purpose of why we are brought to the world because one always plan for what one want to achieve, and certainly, plan for his/her own future, but that's nothing wrong. Why we always forget that Allaah (SWT) is best of planners of All, and Allaah (SWT) has already planned for us, for our companions, our lives, but Allaah (SWT) has given our freedom lies on our deed, and us. Meaning that it's up to us whether one must become good person or bad person, through their own lives, and how they conduct especially with their professions. Be it any professions, but at the end, you must be honest with your job, and it applies with every professions, and will be judged accordingly to their situations, and their lives, and specificially, to their circumstance, and that's why i always serve a reminder of why we aren't allowed to judge, and we shouldn't, but only Allaah (SWT) knows us better than we know us.

Coming to direct point. Why i am bringing this topic, is because our times can come anymore, and only Allaah (SWT) knows what is our end time. Surrending ourselves to the worldy life and taking the worldy life for granted, and already planned for the future of their own lives, and what they wanna achieve in their specific times, but only Allaah (SWT) knows what is in our end time, and by end time, our death. We can die anytime, and it's important that one must be prepared with answers just in case if his/her time comes up. If you concentrate on the worldy life, and surrender yourself to the worldly life and overlooking Islamic activities, the mission to educate yourself with the knowledge of Holy Qur'aan, and most importantly, try to be good Muslim you can be. What if you die unprepare, and you will be transfered one place to another - from one dimension to another - from one Earth life to Hereafter. What do you think it's gonna happen when you are unprepared in Hereafter, and one step away from Heaven or Hell, will be decided by 'OUR CREATOR, THE ONE AND THE ONLY ONE', AND 'THERE IS NONE LIKE HIM'. Indeed, it's scary to think when one person is unprepared with answers in Hereafter.

Meanwhile, as we are planning for our future lives, but don't forget to live in present - meaning, strive to be good Muslim, to educate ourself with the knowledge of Holy Qur'aan, and follow the Laws of Allaah (SWT). If we are planning for our future lives, So is Allaah (SWT) planning for our future lives. Always remember that, and one person always think of having fun first ( haraam kind of fun), and thinking that when one person read to certain age, then he/she will try to be adapt the Sunnah. Always, want to repent at the end, but we are sadly mistaken. It doesn't work the way one always hope, and indeed, it doesn't. Nowadays, people are dying everyday with greater numbers, and you always hear the news of students getting killed, car accidents.....etc, (May Allaah (SWT) have mercy on us). One day, we can be them, and if we are them, at least, we should be prepared, and therefore, we will be prepared in Hereafter, Insha'Allaah!

So, read Holy Qur'aan, donate, help poor people, respect the elders, parents, teachers, professors, sisters, and if one person has money enough to attend HAJJ in Holy Kaaba, then, please, do it for the sake of yourself and your families, and beg forgiveness, and repent. Life is very short, and getting shorter considering the circumstances of the today world. Read "Procedure of Ramadan" to gain the knowledge of Sunnah, Ramadan, and some Beautiful advice for us. Insha'Allaah, we will be strived to become better and better Muslim and follow the Sunnah properly, Ameen!

^ This is the best i could describe, and perhaps, my post doesn't do the whole justice of what good and intelectual sermon it was, and indeed, it was to revive our faith. May Allaah (SWT) bless that Imam with great blessings, Ameen!
