something 2 think about


In the name of Allah, Most gracious, Most Merciful


Masha'Allah, I've been blessed with another day, another hour, another minute, another second to make some decisions in my life. I know I've been on this earth for 25 years and the things I thought I knew about life are the very things that are proving me wrong. Before I became a Muslim, I was a Christian woman thinking that as long as i repented and accepted Jesus as my savior before
Soon on May 15 it will be one year since I converted to Islam and I've really been thinking about what I have learned as well as what I still have to learn. What is really important and who matters in my life still linger in the memories of my head. I know when I die I will have to answer for all the rights and wrongs I've done. Two angels will ask me three questions:
  1. What do you believe?
  2. What is your religion?
  3. Who is your prophet?

Every Muslim will face these three questions. If they answer correctly they are one step closer to paradise. If they answer incorrectly, they face the hellfire. After the questioning is done, there lies the book of deeds. The Book of Deeds are the lists of the bad and good deeds a Muslim has done in the past life on earth. Whatever hand it lands on can make a persons hair turn grey. Now that's something that weighs on my mind more than anything else.
