You entered this world with the call to prayer (adhān) being recited over you, but without any prayer (ṣalāh). When you depart from this world, there will be a prayer read over you, but there will be no call to prayer. The contrast between these two epic events has much significance. It is as if to say that the fleeting life which you experience in this world is as short as the duration between the call to prayer and the prayer itself.

This book will take you on the journey that is life after a death.

Ali ibn Abi Talib said: ‘The life of this world is quicklydeparting and the life of the hereafter is quickly approaching and each one ofthem has its children. So be children of the hereafter, not children of thisworld. For today there are deeds without reckoning, but tomorrow there will bereckoning without deeds.

In this life even an atoms’ worth of good is accepted if itis done with sincerity. In the hereafter, the whole world in gold will do youno good.

In every moment of the day of Judgment, from the moment yourise from their grave to when you take your place in the assembly. From whenyou are brought forth to be held accountable by your Lord, to when you aretaken to the scale for the scrolls to be weighed, from when you prepare tocross the bridge to your anticipated arrival at the gates of  Paradise. There are good deeds that Youhave sent forth that will come to your aid. Deeds that will take you by yourhand and testify on your behalf, that will settle your feet and shade you fromthe scorching heat. That will light your way in the darkness and guide you tothe abode of eternal delight.

So do not ask your Lord when the day of Judgment will be,but ask yourself what deeds have you prepared for that day. 

The Prophet ﷺ said that there is no deed better in the sight of Allah SWT, or more greatly rewarded than a good deed that is done in the first 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah. This sacred month brings great opportunities and rewards yet sometimes we fail to realise and appreciate the importance of these special days. 

This short, yet informative book will take you on a journey to understand the hidden gems that one can avail from during the blessed month of Dhul-Hijjah  

O believer, this world is not meant to be your paradise, but knowing that Paradise awaits, makes this journey so much more bearable and rewarding. Remember that every difficulty is a right, after all your struggles, all your tests, and trials know that your eternal sanctuary awaits. 

Jannah, that is built by your deeds and decorated by your du''as. Chalets of crystals sparkling on the horizon for a soul that gave up sin, tree trunks of green emerald and branches of gold for a simple word of remembrance. Each of your shuddering breaths, every second of discomfort you faced, and every one of your sacrifices, all have been accounted for, repaid with sights and rewards unimaginable and the company of the Most High. 

Build your eternal home, decorate your eternal home. Long for your eternal home...
