Young@muslim posted this reminder at the Islam section and I wanna share with you guys, InshAllah you will benefit from it.
Would you like to 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
> > who returned my soul to my body, and granted me another chance". This is what the prophet PBUH used to say when he wakes 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, in case the new day you are living is
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 Amin
