Ms DD Posted March 23, 2007 Assalamu'Alaykum Somthing I read, thought it would be interesting to share it with all of you. 800 Km Away From Hell ! (A Real Experience) A brother in Saudi Arabia went to pray in one of the Masjids there. After the prayer a sheikh (the one clean corpses) there stood up and said he wants to tell a story. He said he and his friends left Riyad to travel to another town. They were going on a trip to Dammam. He swears by the One that they were leaving to do things that Allah does not accept (sins). He says they passed by a sign that says Dammam 300 Km. His friends said 300 Km to Dammam but he said that he reads Hell 300 Km. His friends laughed at him but he was serious. They continue and then comes another sign saying Dammam 200 Km. He looks and again it says Hell 200 Km. He told his friends and they told him to stop and not spoil the trip. The sign Dammam 100 Km appeared and again he saw it Hell 100 Km. He asked them to drop him here because he doesn't want to continue this strange trip. His heart was giving strange beats. He felt strange. He left them and crossed the highway to the other side to go back to Riyad. He waited to get a lift for a while. A man stopped and picked him up. The man looked very sad. Our friend wanted to change this guys mood so he started to laugh with him and then asked what was wrong. He said I passed by a car accident and never in my life have I seen one worse in my life. He described a car similar to that of his friends. It was his friends all dead. He left Riyad with the intention of sinning and returned with the intention of never sinning Allah Almighty. He told the people listening in the Masjid that you all tell yourselves that you are still young. He said he was lucky because Allah Almighty gave him an example. He told them but Allah might give your friends an example of your evil death. So brothers and sisters lets not wait for Allah's blessings come to us. Lets go and reach out for Allah and make our deaths a good example for our friends not an evil one. May Allah give us a good death. Ameen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ameen Posted March 23, 2007 Subhan'Allah, none of us should feel like an untouchable because our death could be waiting for us at the end of the hall. Which reminds me of the dou in which we ask Allah to make our last deeds the best of our deeds so that we may die pleasing Him inshallah. Thanks for the reminder sis and may Allah reward you for your efforts, aameen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
