But Allah knows best, I managed to read the introduction yesterday and found a beautiful ayat that just rings true to me.
"And that man can have nothing but what he does." An-Najm: 53: 39
What a beautiful sentence.
And from all aspect of life, you will gain nothing but what you do.
Ever seen old couple holding hands and lovingly talk to each other? Than know that it's not a result of love or magic, it's a result of their hard work and commitment at the relationship.
Who is the most successful person you know? Know that he worked hard at it.
When is your happiest moment in life? All the trials you faced before that let you taste the sweetness of joy.
Just as your soul will only be carrying your own sin, know that your soul will only benefit from the good that one earns for himself.
Abu Hurayrah said that the Prophet Muhammad SAW said:
"When a person dies, his deeds will cease except in three cases: from a righteous son who invokes Allah for him, or an ongoing charity after his death, or knowledge that people benefit from."
Well one's son does not just pop out overnight and become righteous does he? Who takes care of him when he was unable to take care of himself? Who instill all the good morals and behaviors in him?
"...and one offspring are among what he has earned" 7:241.
Does the ongoing charity appear by itself or initiated by someone? Just as one walk on a sand and leave a trail of his footsteps, the deed is but a trace of one owns action.
'..We record that which they send before (them) and their traces.' 36:12
and lastly,
"Whoever invites to guidance, he will earn as much reward as those who follow him, without decreasing anything out of their own rewards." Muslim 4: 2060.
So when you are feeling lazy remember,
"and that man can have nothing but what he does."
And from all aspect of life, you will gain nothing but what you do.
