It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (ra) that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Allah said, ‘I will be an opponent to three types of people on the Day of Resurrection: 1) One who makes a covenant in My Name, but proves treacherous, 2) One who sells a free person and eats his price, 3) One who employs a labourer and takes full work from him but does not pay him for his labour.'” [Reported by Bukhari, Ibn Majah and others]

2.Allah (swt) must accept it too !
The true worshipper Fears standing in front of Allah (swt) on the Day of Judgement
Are we really scared?

Being scared is not enough for getting Jannah
We must start walking towards Jannah

اِيَّكَ نَسْتَعِيْن You alone we call for help!
From childhood we often get into trouble
Often Saved by our parents
Sometimes our friends save us
We ask help from people around us
Handling naughty children Different sets of problems as we grow up
Or food getting burnt !
The maid doesn’t turn up !
His Glasses fell into the water
This girl needs help too.
He too can get help !
And so will this child
Who can save him??
Or these drug addicts?
We feel helpless without Allah (swt)
Who can save them ?
And them?
What if this was you ?
Or this?
Who is she calling?
At times we just need Allah (swt)!
We must not forget Him when he pulls us out of it.
We all need Him
Can we afford to disobey Him?
اِيَّكَ نَعْبُدُ وَ اِيَّكَ نَسْتَعِيْن
