Speaking of the Earth

That Day, it (earth) will report its news [Zilzal: 4]

Everything I do in this world is noted. I may not be aware of it at the moment but it is definitely being written down. On the Day of Judgment, do I want the earth to speak against me or for me?

Life of this World

And violent is he in his love of wealth. (8) Does he not know,- when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad (9) And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest- (10) That their Lord had been Well-acquainted with them, (even to) that Day? (11) [Al-Aa'diyaat: 8-11]

Until we sacrifice what we love most in this Dunya, we will not be able to achieve success in the Akhirah.

- Maryam Hameed
