To realize the value of one year, ask the student who failed a grade.
To realize the value of one month, ask the mother who gave birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of one day, ask the editor of a daily newspaper.
To realize the value of one hour, ask the bride waiting to be wed.
To realize the value of one minute, ask the man who just missed the train.
To realize the value of one second, ask the person who just avoided an accident.
To realize the value of one milli-second, ask the Olympian who qualified for a bronze.
Treat every day as your last.
Treasure every moment that you have.
And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to
share your time with.
And remember that time waits for no one.
Today is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
The gift of life.
"Funny how $10 looks so big when we take it to the masjid and so small when we take it to the store."
"Funny how long an hour serving God looks and how short 60 minutes are when spent playing golf, fishing or playing soccer."
"Funny how laborious it is to read a juzuk in the Quran and how easy it is to read 2 to 300 pages of a best selling novel."
"Funny how we believe what the newspapers say but question what the Quran says."
"Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray and don't have any difficulty thinking of things to talk to a friend."
"Funny how we need a long time and have difficulties to memorize one or two verses of Al-Quran, but a very short time and easy to memorize song."
"Funny how we can face the TV for hours yet we cannot face the Qibla for 10 minutes."
"Funny isn't it...?"
You Know Allah (swt)
Yet you do not obey Him,
You recite the Quran,
Yet you do not act according to it,
You know Satan,
Yet you have agreed with him,
You proclaim your love for paradise,
Yet you do not act to gain it,
You proclaim your fear for the fire,
Yet you do not prevent yourselves from sins,
You say "indeed death is true",
Yet you have not prepared for it,
You busy yourselves with finding faults with other,
Yet you do not look at your own faults,
You eat that which Allah (swt) has provided for you,
Yet you do not thank Him,
You bury your dead,
Yet you do not take lesson from it.
