Getting Our Acts Together.

  Assalam alaykum,
In the Holy Qur'an we have read:--
   "What! did you think that We created you only
     for sport, and that you would not be returned
     to Us"? (al-Mumineen, 115).

   "What, does man reckon he shall be left to roam
     at will?" (al-Qiyama, 36).

These 2 Noble Ayats remind us all to get our acts together and call ourselves to account before the Divine Judgement catches up with us. In this regard, the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said:-

      "A mindful person is he who takes his lower self [ego] under control, calls it to account, and performs good deeds for the world to come. A foolish person is the one who expects something good from the Almighty in vain, while following the desires of his lower self." (Tirmidhi, Qiyamah 25; Ibn Majah, Zuhd 31).
