your.ukht #StoryTime A Qur`ān teacher always advised her students to live by this ayah: “And I hurried to You, my Lord, so that You'll be pleased.” [Tāhā, 20:84] He (Musa) said: "They are close on my footsteps, and I hastened to You, O my Lord, that You might be pleased." She told them, “This ayah is what moves me. When I hear the Adhān and I'm in occupied and the middle of something, I remind myself of this ayah and so i get up to pray.”
_____ “When my alarm goes off at 2am and I want to go back to sleep I remember: “And I hurried to You my Lord so you'll be pleased” and so I get up. _____ Her husband had the following arrangement with her: on his way home from work he'd call her so she'll get the food hot & ready, so he can come home and eat & sleep. _____ One day he asked her to make mahshi (stuffed grape-leaves - very time consuming. You wrap many of them and put the pot of them on the stove to cook). She had 3 more to wrap then she had to put them on the stove to cook. _____ But the Adhān came on... So she left the 3 remaining grape-leaves (which would have taken her 5 mins) and went to pray. Her husband kept calling & calling but there was no answer. _____ He came home and found her in sujood and food not ready. He saw there were only 3 grape-leaves left. So he was upset & said, “You could have just finished them & put the pot to cook then pray!” _____ No response. He went to her to discover she had died in her sujood! _____ Subhan'Allāh! Had she waited like any of us to 'finish whats in her hand' she would have died in the kitchen! But a person dies upon what they lived on and by. And they are resurrected on what they died on.
