Do as many good deeds as possible while one still can in order to avoid Allah’s punishment.

This hadith reminds us of the inevitability of Allah’s punishment. It was narrated by Busr bin Jahhash Al-Quraishi that the Prophet spat in his palm then pointed to it with his index finger and said “Allah says ‘Do you think you can escape from My punishment, O son of Adam, when I have created you from something like this? When your soul reaches here’ - and he pointed to his throat - ‘You say I give charity. But it is too late for charity?” This hadith teaches us that no matter how much good deeds we do or how much charity we give, if our souls reach a certain point then it will be too late for any kind of repentance or good deeds. We must remember this lesson and strive to do as many good deeds as possible while we still can in order to avoid Allah’s punishment.
