Mash a Allah jazaki Allah khairan Umm for sharing those excellent reminders. They are so true.
I always use one for the prayer issue. When I am around work and find people not getting up for salah on time, I mean as the adhan goes, because they are facing a difficult problem with work, or a task to finish, I tell them, if the boss calls them for a meeting at 9 am, they will be there at 8.45. If they have an appointment with the Prime Minister at 8 am. They will be there at 7.30 lest his office manager will say O you're late and he got busy. BUt just because Allah Is there always, we are sure whenever we say Allah u Abkar no secretary would say no u cannt meet HIm. But rather Allah Shall say labyak abdi. Meaning I Respond to u my devotee, that we take Allah for granted. Some people would argue why Allah made a strech between two times of salah then. At this point I just stop because they cannt understand the point of the importance with the meeting with Allah.
