Fail or Pass? ...You decide...

In the name of Allah the most gracious the most merciful.

Each breath that passes and each soul that is taken away from the world will be held accountable for. Each step towards any direction and each feeling towards any thought we will be questioned about. On that day all authority will be solely in the hands of the one who holds the key to ease and success.

We find that we sometimes get caught up in the luxuries of this world. Each need, want and necessities play an intricate role in creating the lifestyle that we choose. Allah swt has given us the option of choice. Each sole holds the burden and or ease of the choices that we make. One can choose to walk to the correct path or to divert to the path which leads to total failure and ultimately destruction.

One of the habits that we have developed and instilled within ourselves is that we have made ourselves immune to the evils of the enemy of Allah swt the Shaitan. One example is that we find ourselves to feel that it is perfectly fine that we go against the natural laws of order that Allah swt has created upon all of believing men and women.

"Be not soft in speech, lest those in whose heart is a disease should be moved
with desire" (al-Ahzab 32).

“And come not near to unlawful sexual
intercourse. Verily, it is a faahishah (a great sin) and an evil way." (17:32)

This Ayah/verse refers to the relationship between two individuals who have no binding relationship such as an estranged women and man. However we have made ourselves immune to the idea of engaging in what is titled as “friendship” between those of the opposite gender. Not a single individual in the west can come forth and say that refraining from talking to one in the opposite gender is an easy task. Instilled in all of mankind despite the level of religiousness is desire. Truly this desire is one of the tests that we face as Muslims in the west.

“Do the men think that on their [mere] saying 'We believe', they will be left to
themselves, and will not be put to the test? We certainly put to the test those
that were before them” (29:2-3)

Time has not left us as of yet as if you are reading this then the opportunity awaits you. We hear many times that “any day can be your last” and “this life is short” and we have heard of many die around us so we must not become immune the idea of death and feel so secure. Security is not for our soles for the angel of death will take is when it is written for us. The angel of death will come to us surely and take our soles depending on the choices we make. One can deny being good but not a single sold can deny the reality of death.

“The (angels who) snatch (the souls of the disbelievers) forcibly.”
[79:1]
“And those who gently take (the souls of the believers) joyfully”
[79:2]

I leave you with this verse as is speaks for itself with clarity and knowledge and if one opens there heart and understands that the time is now to turn back to Allah swt then they have succeeded in this life and the next and they have taken the path of success and there soul will be taken with ease Inshallah.

"Say: Oh my servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of
the mercy of Allah, for Allah forgives all sins; for He is oft-forgiving, most
merciful." [39:53]
