This may sound depressing, this morning coming to work, I saw students going back to school on their first day. I just thought to myslef how time passed by so quickly. It feels just like yesterday when summer holiday started and everybody was waiting for their results.
Usually fall whether also has a certain impact on me, that I can not describe. But the most important thing is that I felt Oh Ramadan also is coming very soon, which feels as well just as if it ended yesterday. Our life is running before our eyes, and all what we care for is Oh I really want to marry this man/woman, wow I lost this promotion, I was supposed to take a senior management position this year this is unfair, Ah I really need to plan to buy this summer house, my bathroom tiles are not appealing for me no more I want new ones. At the end I remembered the Ayah:
<b>اقترب للناس حسابهم وهم فى غفلة معرضون"</b>
الأنبياء 1
"Draws near for mankind their reckoning, while they turn away in heedlessness." (Quran 21:1)
Oh ya Allah one of the signs of the hour is time passing so quickly just as what is happening now. and what are we doing?
what are we occupied with? totally worldly affairs.
I am sorry if I sound depressing today, my co workers took the same dose first thing this morning, and they commented as usual oh this is enough for us this week. See our working week starts on Sat. But they agreed with me.
May Allah allow us to invest our time and effort properly, allocate our effort and knowledge in its proper direction, and really grant us a good ending to leave this life (which I usually see as a transit stop) as safe as possible. ameen
