”No one else can ever make your choices for you. Your choices are yours
alone. They are as much a part of you as every breath you will take, every
moment of your life.”
So one of the biggest gifts Allah has given each one
of us is CHOICE; the ability to decide, the ability to choose, the ability to
relate to things. Which route you take, what action to do, what steps to make.
How to understand the world around you, how to understand yourself, how to
understand people around you, how to understand events that take place. All of
this is a matter of decision. You’re making decisions at every single moment of
your life.
But most of us have given up this gift. And we let the
society choose for us. We let our culture choose for us. We let sometimes our
friends and peers choose for us. We let our teachers choose for us. We let our
parents choose for us. We let the TV choose for us. We let our politicians
choose for us. But on The Day of Judgement, you will deal with the consequences
of all those choices. Whether you made them or let someone else take them for
you, you will face the consequences on The Day of Judgement. You’ll stand
before Allah SWT alone. Alone!
The women
passing down the street that you looked and you kept staring at, will be
brought to you ‘live’. You could see it. The moment you were alone and did
something wrong, the moment you took some ‘haraam’ money that doesn’t belong to
you, the moment you dealt with ‘riba’, the moment you were backbiting someone
or slandering someone, that moment..just before that moment, you had the ability to make a decision. Either to
engange in the sin or give it up and leave it.
But you made the wrong decision and it will come to
you. That moment, it will be placed and it will be manifested in front of your
eyes. When you standing before Allah SWT and He will ask you about it. The
moment the ‘azaan’ was called, you know it’s time for the prayer, and you
didn’t pray. Because you were enganged. You were enganged with something else.
Anything. Any of these worldly matters. It will be brought to you and you will
regret the decision you made.
When you listened to the whispers of ‘shaytaan’, when
you listened to the advice and social evidence of your friends, family, culture
and you just flowed with the tide. That moment will be brought to you and will
be asked about it. And you will feel so much pain about it. The first moment of
pain you’ll start to feel is the moment; the Angels come to you and start
dragging your soul out of your body . . .
