SECOND REMINDER. FRIDAY. FRIDAY KHUTBAH continues. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Please read the first Reminder first before this one. If you missed it, please request a copy or visit www.islamicdailyreminder.blogspot.com. Our death and meeting with our Creator is approaching and yet our biggest worry is what are we going to wear tomorrow? in competition. One day you'll just be a memory for people, and a lesson to others. Do everything you can to please Allah, be a positive lesson. Just imagine how many people were here with us last year, but are no longer here again! Even our turn is soon approaching. May Allah forgive us an forgive them. We walk with our heads high up in the sky, unaware that one day we'll be trapped 6' Feet under the ground. You look for the latest fashion and designer clothes, but don't forget O' Son of Adam! You will end up being wrapped up in just a white shroud. Live to please the Creator, not the Creation. If Allah is happy with us, what more can we ask for? It's sad how we only begin to appreciate blessings, either materialistic things or good people; only after we lose them. When it's too late!? Do we really invest to be like them? You wouldn't throw away a diamond to pick up a rock, so in the same way, don't throw away the Akhirah (Paradise) by chasing the Dunya (worldly). How do you expect to get Al-Jannah (paradise) when you haven't worked for it in Dunya? That's like expecting to pass an exam you never took a class for. We live in a time where people leave out food in fear of becoming overweight, but cannot leave out sins in fear of Allah! For a believer, you may be penniless, homeless, unemployed, sick and feel like you have nothing. But you have the one thing that money can't buy: "ALLAH". To be continued in shaa ALLAH. May Allah aid us in our efforts to Please HIM AAMEEN.
