Bismillahir Ramaanir Raheem
- Forgive Me -
Forgive me for not doing my duty properly
Forgive me for not teaching others about al-deen
Forgive me for not inviting the Kufaar to al-deen
Forgive me for not spreading Tawheed
For give me for keeping the Islamic Ilm within me
Forgive me for failing to share it with others
Forgive me for not teaching others of that which I knew of
Forgive me for Praying Salaah – And not bothering to call others to it aswell
Forgive me for being in Dhikr of you – And failing to remind others to remember you
Forgive me for beginning every Action, ever Speech in Your Name – And not telling others to do the same
Forgive me for Keeping Obligatory and Nafl Fasts – And Failing to not encourage others to keep them aswell
Forgive me for giving Zakat – And not informing others about the importance of it to give aswell
Forgive me for learning so much about Jihad – And failing to teach and share the information I have with the others
I’m down on my hands and knees
I’m begging you ‘O All-Mighty One – Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem
To forgive me Please
All this hits you hard when a close misguided family or friend dies
And you sit and ponder
Where you – Yourself went wrong
Without a doubt many of us get along with one or two Non-Muslims
We had many opportunities to teach them
To teach them about the One and Only - True Deen
We had many opportunities to teach them
To teach them about the One and Only - Allah (Jallalahu)
We have non-practising Duniya-clinging family members
We should give them Da’wah
-Indeed With a lot of Patience-
When someone close dies
You think:
“I Had So Many Chances
So Many Opportunities
Could They Be in Hell Cos of Me
If Only I Had Only Acted Upon What I Knew Off
If Only I Had Done My Duty Correctly”
Your heart breaks in two
You cry day and night
You sit there tapping your head
-No Peace of Mind-
You see Dear Muslim Brothers and Sisters
Death can come any day, anytime, any second
No matter where you are or what you are doing
And no matter what age you may be
Because death doesn’t ask for one to meet its requirements
It has neither limits nor any conditions
It can get you whenever Allah (AzaWajal) decrees
Now and then many of us say:
“Next Week I’ll Teach so-and-so about Tawheed,
I’ll Try and Invite them to a New Life
To The True Deen
To Islam”
But that –Next Time- Never comes
The intention of doing good is there
But one for some reasons fails
Fails to put those words into practise
And when one least expects it
The news about that –Person’s- Death gets to you first
Before you made that move
And taught them
“La Illahaa Illallahu Muhammadur Ra’soolullah’
I had a best friend – She was dying
Knew her for 15years
She was 22 years of age
She was a Sikh
A Sikh who was interested in our Deen
She would ask certain questions
And I would answer them to the best of my ability
Everyday I said the same old thing
“Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow I’ll go teach her man!”
I knew she was very close to death
She was on her final stages of her life
A week ago I had planned to –Literally Go-
I was all prepared and feeling –Damn Good-
I was all geared up to tell her about this –Peaceful- Religion of ours
But …
A day before I was going to go
I received the news
The news that she had left this world
That she had died with breathing difficulties
Do you all see the mistake I made?!?!?!?!
Take my advice people:
‘Invite, Invite, Invite
Invite as many of your close friends and family to Islam’
Because trust me
What I’m going through ain’t easy
15years of friendship –
And 2 years out of the 15years I’ve been a practising Muslimah
And never - Never did I even bother to invite her
2 years ain’t little
When one is interested in Islam then 2 years is more than enough
But I didn’t – I didn’t do what I was meant to do
I always thought of
I always remembered to
But death got to her before I could teach her the Shahadah
And now … I feel
Pathetic and useless
I feel stupid and ridiculous
I feel as though I have let Allah (SWT) down
I have angered and annoyed him
What has been made obligatory upon Muslims
To spread Tawheed – To invite – To teach
I failed to meet
I Pray Sincerely
That you all attain and reach your goals
Attain and reach you goals in the field of Da’wah
In inviting others to Islam
I Pray Sincerely
That Allah (SWT) guides you and your families
That we all become better Muslims
That we all die as Righteous Muslims
One day or another we’re all going to die
And we will –Have To- face reality someday –
-Ameen ALLAHUMMAH Ameen-
