Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam `Ala Rasulillah. ************************************************ As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu. Abû Bakr Al-Siddîq (Radiallahu `Anhu)  to ‘Umar (Radiallahu `Anhu) on his Deathbed . When Abû Bakr Al-Siddîq (Radiallahu`Anhu) was on his deathbed he called ‘Umar (Radiallahu `Anhu) [Allah be pleased with them  both]  and said... 'Fear Allah O ‘Umar,  and know that Allah has deeds  to be done for Him in the day which  He will not accept if done at night ! and He has deeds to be done for Him at night which He will not accept  if done during the day ! He will not accept extra (Nâfilah) deeds  unless you fulfill the obligatory deeds. The scales of those whose scales will be weighty on the Day of Resurrection will only be weighty  because they followed the truth in this  life and it was weighty to them.  And scales in which the truth will be placed tomorrow  truly deserve to be heavy. And the scales of those whose scales will be light on  the Day of Resurrection will only be light because  they followed falsehood in this life  and it was a light matter to them ! And scales in which falsehood will be placed tomorrow  truly deserve to be light ! Allah the Exalted has mentioned the people of Paradise  and mentioned them in the context  of their Best Deeds ! and overlooked their evil deeds ! so when I remember them I say to myself... I fear that I will not be included with them ! And Allah the Exalted has mentioned the people of Hell  and mentioned them in the context of their worst deeds  and rejected their best deeds,  so when I remember them I say... I hope I won’t be amongst them ! Allah’s worshipers should always be  in a state of hope and fear. they shouldn’t wish flimsy wishes about Allah and  neither should they despair of Allah’s Mercy. If you keep to this advice of mine,  no one who is not with you now  should be more beloved to you than  DEATH ! and, it  is  sure  to  come  to  you !  But...if you disregard this advice, no one who is not  with you now should be more hated to you than  DEATH ! and you cannot escape it'.  {Subhan Allah}  ~MY  'SALAAMS' TO ALL ~      ~Y a s m i n. ~ ****************************************    "Never Despair Of The Mercy Of Allah"     ******************************************** ' Son of Adam! you are nothing but a number of days,  whenever each day passes then part of you has Gone.  {Al-Hasan Al-Basree (r)}   *********************************************************** Courtesy:  This beneficial mail was shared by Sister Yasmin.
