SLEEP
Assalaamu Alaikkum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu!
(Peace be upon you with God's blessings and prosper)...
Do you know what happens when you sleep??
It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not
(He takes) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of
death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their
bodies) for a term appointed. Verily in this are signs for those who reflect.
Quran, Chapter 39 verse 42
This means: every time you sleep, Allah takes your souls, amongst many
other souls he takes during sleeping. Then Allah decides who is going to be
given another chance. For those who are blessed with another chance, Allah
will permit their souls to go back to their bodies, the rest he keeps back from
returning to life i.e.they die.
This means: each time you go to bed you should never be sure you will get
up again, you ONLY have 50% chance for coming back to life. This means:
each time you go to bed you should be prepared for your hereafter.
This means: when you wake up the next day you should appreciate how
lucky (blessed) you are. And say 'Blessed be the One(Allah) who returned
my soul to my body, and granted me another chance'. This is what the
prophet PBUH used to say after waking up. This means: when you wake up
the next day you should make sure you utilize the new day as much as you
can before sleep time comes; the new day you are living could be the last
chance you are given!
This means: you should try to make sure you recite sura AL-MULK
(chapter 67) before sleeping, because the prophet PBUH promised that one
who reads this sura before sleeping is saved from the punishment of the
grave. May Allah forgive us all and bless us with a happy life in this dunya
PASS THIS ON
MAY ALLAH REWARD & BLESS US AND our FAMILIES. Aameen.
