Let me recall few weeks back to the big flood in Queensland, cyclone yasi in Queensland too, then the earthquake in Christchurch, and floods I heard in some parts of Malaysia. And then this earthquake plus tsunami in Japan.
Some might say, "Oh that's just the nature of the world" [somewhere along the line.]
But, to those who believed in God, will know that it's a sign. A warning perhaps from our Creator.
These things happen, to wake us up.. to show us that He is the Greatest and He will make things happen if He wanted to. Just like what He did to all the perished nations of 'Ad, Tsamud and others. We might think, "Oh, this is just a small sign. We still have lots of time till the Day of Judgement." But, the truth is, it can happen this Friday. If Allah wanted to, He will make it happen.
Okay, you might think..."This Friday? I still have few more days. To amend my mistakes and make my taubah." But, maybe tomorrow, the next minute, or the next second, Allah can take our life away in the blink of an eye..even before the Day of Judgement. At that time, we realised, if only..if only Allah give me more time..to make good deeds, to make my taubah, to be a better muslim..it's too late. It's too late.
I'm writing this to myself. To remind myself of those time I wasted. Maybe, this will help to remind you too. That our time left in this world is really, really short. Make the BEST from what's left in this world and prepare ourselves for the hereafter. InshaAllah.
"Lord, guide us to the right path, the path of those to whom You have granted blessings, those who are neither subject to Your anger nor have gone astray." (Al-Fatihah :6-7)
