โ€œAnd the Book of Records will be placed (in everyoneโ€™s hands), and you will see the criminals, fearful of that which is (recorded) therein.

They will say: โ€˜Woe to us! What sort of Book is this!ย 

It has left nothing unrecorded of our doings, small or great!โ€™

They will see before them everything, whatsoever they had done, and your Lord will not be unjust to anyone in the least.โ€ (Surah al-Kahf: 49)


Waitโ€ฆ.

Read the Aayah again.

What does it tell us?


It tells usโ€ฆ


On that Great Day, when we stand in front of our Rabb, each one of us will be given our Book of Records...our โ€˜Saved Historyโ€™...and no one would escape it.ย 


Do you know what that Book will contain?ย 


It will contain EVERY SINGLE THING that we EVER DID.ย 

EVERY SINGLE WORD that we EVER SAID.ย 

It will contain the doings and dealings of our ENTIRE LIFE!


There will be no denying it...no hiding from it, no running away....


It will all be there. PLAIN and SIMPLE and CLEAR for us to see.....


everyย single forbidden gaze we enjoyed....


every single letter we murmured and thought no one heard....


Every single deed we did and thought no one saw....


Even the veryย BREATHS that we ever took.....


Thatโ€™s why when Imaam Ahmad was on his deathbed, groaning with pain because of the agonies of death, someone said to him:


โ€œDonโ€™t you know that even the groaning and moaning will be written in our Book of Deeds?โ€ย 


After that,ย no one heard even a single SOUND from Imaam Ahmad until he passed away.ย 

Subhaan Allaah!


Dear brothers and sisters,


Our words, our actions, our sounds, ย our breaths are being written and we donโ€™t care.ย 


We read Surah al-Kahf every Friday. We pass by this Aayah every week and yet we donโ€™t even pay attention.ย 


HOW WILL WE BE when OUR Book of Records will be given to each of us?


What will we SAY?

And what will we DO?


What will we see written for us there?


THINK about this Aayah the next time you read Surah al-Kahf.


REFLECT on the meanings.ย 

CONTEMPLATE on what it implies.ย 

Then BRING A CHANGE in your words,

in your actions,

in your thoughts,

in your LIFE...


Don't just โ€œREADโ€ Surah al -Kahf every Friday....


๐Ÿ”บUNDERSTAND.ย 

๐Ÿ”บREFLECT.ย 

๐Ÿ”บIMPLEMENT.ย 

๐Ÿ”บCHANGE for the better.


And Allaah knows best.
