I post this with tears in my eyes.
This is a Khutbah which was Given by one Ustaz from Osogbo, osun (Nigeria)
What a touching KHUTUBAH please if time allows you read it.
It's worth a Reminder;
Forwarded as received.
"Every human is a slave. You're either a slave of your desires or a slave of Allฤh. You either live life by your rules or the rule of Allฤh.
How can the heart travel to God if it's chained by its desires?
O' son of Adam! Sell this World for the hereafter and you win both, sell the hereafter for this world & you lose both. #DeenOverDunya
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyah
Islam is not a buffet where you pick and choose what suits you. Don't obey your desires. Obey Allaah.
"Imprisoned is he, whose heart is imprisoned from Allฤh. Captured is he, who is captured by his desires."
Fudayl Ibn Iyad was asked "What do you find the strangest of all things?" He said: The heart that knows Allฤh, yet still disobeys Him ๐ข
Donโt miss Salฤh for the sake of people. You were born & will die alone, youโll go to the grave alone & be questioned alone on Judgment Day

Close friends, on that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous and God fearing..." โข[Surah Az-Zukhruf:67]
Fajr you're asleep, Zuhur you're busy, Asr you're tired, Magrib you're watching tv, Isha you're eating. You can dodge prayer, but not death.
We prepare for uncertain matters in our life like marriage etc but do we prepare for the one event that is definitely going to happen #Death
The first thing a slave will be held to account for is Salah. If we fall short on that, then we will fall short on what's to come.
Fajr: Do not fear missing sleep. Fear a day in which there will be no sleep.โ๐
Expecting Paradise whilst neglecting Prayer, is like waiting for a train to arrive at the airport. Remember to pray Dhuhr
Everyone dreams to be in Jannah, but Allah๏ทป says:

paradise is not obtained by your wishful thinking โข[An-Nisa 4:123] #work hard 4 hereafter
"If you could hear the sound of the pens of the angels writing your name among those who remember Allฤh, you'd die out of joy." -Ibn Al-Qayyim
This Dunya Is Not A Resting Place ๐It's A Testing Place! #Earn Good Deeds!
The world is a prison for the believer and a Paradise for the unbeliever". [Muslim] Your release here, sooner or later will be coming to an end.
Ibn Al-Qayyim (ุฑุญู
ู ุงููููฐู):
"He whom Allah has predestined to enter Paradise, the reasons which will cause his entrance shall spring from calamities;
He whom Allah has predestined to enter the Hellfire, the reasons which will cause his entrance shall spring from lustsโ
Get used to a rough life, for luxury does not last forever. -Umar ibn Al Khattab
Do not be overly pleased by easy times. Verily,gold is tested for its purity by fire. Likewise,a righteous servant is tested by tribulations
It pains me to see born Muslims chasing the lifestyle of the disbelievers by drinking, clubbing, getting high etc.
Why do you think reverts run away from that life to the deen of Allฤh. Run back to your Lord for His mercy overcomes His wrath.
How long will the person be happy with his worldly life?..Knowing that his ultimate home is the grave"
No matter how beautiful your face is, you will still be the food of worms when you are buried. Set aside your arrogance & remember your grave
Every single limb & organ in your body will speak up & bear witness against every action you committed in this Dunya

Not a word is said except that there is a watcher by him ready to record it.โ [Surah Qaf:18] This includes all that you posted.
Hijab includes the way a person walks, talks, looks and thinks. All of it should be done modestly and applies to both men and women" #Hijab
My dear sisters in Islam. Cover up for the sake of Allah before its too late as today you are over the soil but tomorrow you may be under it
Yes hijab doesn't necessarily indicate your level of piety BUT it is fard (a must). So regardless of what you say, you HAVE to wear it.
Make tawba (sincere repentance) not just for sins you've committed, but also for obligations you haven't fulfilled.โ [Ibn Taymiyyah]
I pray that the comfort of our graves exceeds the comfort of our beds. ๐ข
We ask Allah ุณุจุญุงูู ูุชุนุงูู to take our souls away when He's most pleased with us and make us of those who are always conscious. Aaameeeeen!
