Praise be to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,who made sorrow depart from us.Certainly our Lord is forgiving and bountiful.
I ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to make us among those who listen to the good and beneficial words, and follow them,Ameen.
Taken From A Book By Mufti Mohammed Taqi Usmani
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has created this world so that creatures living here may, through good actions, provide for the Hereafter and so deeds that may earn for them Divine Pleasure.
However, we become so engrossed in the affairs of worldly life that we become oblivious of the true purpose of this life.Every living moment from morn till evening is spent in making earthly life better and more and more pleasant. In this struggle, there are few of Allah's bondsmen who think of bettering their life in the Hereafter, although it is an established fact, which even the most hardened atheist cannot deny, that everyone has to leave this world one day and none knows exactly when the summons would come.
The methods prescribed by Islam to better the human life in the Hereafter are not really difficult;In fact, if one adopts them, his earthly life too becomes pleasant and comfortable InshaaAllahu Ta'ala.But unfortunately,it is generally believed today that observances of Islamic teachings is difficult and demands the sacrifice of many worldly advantages,pleasures and comforts.Consequently,most people being scared of this assumed difficulty,veer away from the Divine Path.
The fact is that,Firstly, Islamic commandments and injunctions are not per se difficult to follow.Whosoever of Allah's bondsmen desires to follow them is aided by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and his life in this world as well as in the Hereafter,are changed for the better and to his greater advantage.
Secondly, even if there is some difficulty or laborious effort demanded for in the observance of those commands,it is of significance that one keeps in mind the eternal bliss and comfort vouchsafed in the Hereafter for the observers.
Even in this world,Earning the daily bread does involve some hardship but it is accepted since it is rewarded.Similarly,if we keep in mind that observance of Islamic commandments is going to earn for us unimaginable rewards in the Hereafter, we would hardly be worried about the hardships involved.
Thirdly, while there are some Islamic commandments and injunctions,the observance of which does entail from labour,there are other Divinely ordained acts which do not entail any hardship nor are they time consuming nor do they demand any expenditure. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF ATTITUDE, If one develops the right attitude, he would go on chalking up good deeds in his list of deeds, and if one goes on observing them, he would have a vast store of good deeds that would fetch rewards in the Afterlife InshaaAllahu Ta'ala.
In this world, we do not realize the true importance of storing up good deeds, but when our eyes shall close in eternal sleep and when we shall be summoned before Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to answer for whatever we did in this world, then we would know how important even the most ordinary good deed shall become.Good deeds are the currency of the Afterlife; gold and silver and worldly coins shall avail nothing, the only question to be asked would be "how many good deed have you brought to be reckoned?" If then the pocket would be empty, one would rue and repent why the list of deeds was not filled up with good acts. But then all repentance would be of no avail as the time for acts would be long past.
The exalted companions of our eternally blessed Holy Prophet(PBUH) knew the worth of good deeds; they were eager to do good.As soon as they learnt that some good deed earned Divine pleasure they did it and went on doing it. And if they learnt it late, they regretted the delay.
Abu Huraira(RA) recounted the Hadith to Abdullah ibn Omar that whosoever offers the salah of janazah at the burial service of another would earn merit equivalent to one carat and whosoever goes with the bier and remains with it till burial, earns two carats, each carat being equal to the hill of Uhad.
Ibn Omar asked Ayesha (may Allah be pleased with her) to verify it, which she did. Ibn Omar exclaimed "Alas we have lost so many carats" (Tirmidhi).
Every good deed which earns Divine pleasure is most valuable. As it is only in this world that one can do good deeds, especially those that entail no hardships and earn merits for them, it would be a misfortune of the highest order if one shuns them here only to repent in the Hereafter.
May Allah give the Ummah an opportunity to observe the injunctions and may He
grant us merits and its bounties in the Hereafter. Ameen.
grant us merits and its bounties in the Hereafter. Ameen.
