salaam aleykum



On the Day of Resurrection, the world will be brought before the people. It would look like an old woman, with blue sunken eyes and protruding teeth. People will be asked, "Do you recognise her." They will say, "May Allah protect us all! Who is this monster?" Then they will be told, "This is the world, the world for which you killed on another, severed blood relationship, felt jealous of one another, nourished grudge against others; it is the world that deceived you all." Then this old hag will be hurled into Jahannam. She will cry, "Call my admirers! Send my followers with me to Jahannam." Then Allah Ta'ala will give the command: "Send to Jahannam all those who followed this world." Source: Fadhail-e-Sadaqaat Part II, translated by Prof. Abdul Karim.

Allah (mighty and sublime be He) will say on the Day of Resurrection:

"O son of Adam, I fell ill and you visited Me not. He will say: O Lord, and how should I visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: Did you not know that My servant So-and-so had fallen ill and you visited him not? Did you not know that had you visited him you would have found Me with him? O son of Adam, I asked you for food and you fed Me not. He will say: O Lord, and how should I feed You when You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: Did you not know that My servant So-and-so asked you for food and you fed him not? Did you not know that had you fed him you would surely have found that (the reward for doing so) with Me? O son of Adam, I asked you to give Me to drink and you gave Me not to drink. He will say: O Lord, how should I give You to drink when You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: My servant So-and-so asked you to give him to drink and you gave him not to drink. Had you given him to drink you would have surely found that with Me!" Source: Sahih Muslim.

Let us remember to look after the needs of others and that will
certainly please Allah.
