SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR SLEEP....

SLEEP

Assalaamu Alaikkum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu!

(Peace be upon you with God's blessings and prosper)...


Do you know what happens when you sleep??

Allah says in the Quran:

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

and the hereafter. Aameen.


PASS THIS ON
MAY ALLAH REWARD & BLESS US AND our FAMILIES.
Aameen.
