As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmutallahi Wa Baraakaatahu,
It’s your Sunnah Infographics Family here.
Hope you're well and in good health.
Do you ever think long term?
About your job, your family…
Your life?
Well if so..
Know.
That an important part of your long term goals...
Is planting the seeds for both your Dunya & The Akhirah.
How do we do it?
Let's find out how.
Ayat Al Qur’an - Surah Al Hadid (Iron) - (57:18)
إِنَّ ٱلْمُصَّدِّقِينَ وَٱلْمُصَّدِّقَٰتِ وَأَقْرَضُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا يُضَٰعَفُ لَهُمْ وَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ كَرِيمٌ
Indeed, the men who practice charity and the women who practice charity and [they who] have loaned Allah a goodly loan - it will be multiplied for them, and they will have a noble reward.
1 Hadith
Abu Umamah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Four people continue to be rewarded after death: a soldier guarding the frontier in the way of Allah, one teaching a good deed to others is rewarded like them as they act upon it, a man offering charity is rewarded for it as it is ongoing, and a man leaving behind a righteous child who supplicates for him.”

عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَرْبَعَةٌ تَجْرِي عَلَيْهِمْ أُجُورُهُمْ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ مُرَابِطٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ومَنْ علَّمَ عَمَلًا أُجْرِيَ لَهُ مِثْلُ مَا عَمِلَ وَرَجُلٌ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَأَجْرُهَا لَهُ مَا جَرَتْ وَرَجُلٌ تَرَكَ وَلَدًا صَالِحًا فَهُوَ يَدْعُو لَهُ

Reflection Point
Plans!
When we think about plans…
We often tend to think about the near future.
Today..
This week..
This month….
Or even..
This year!
But sometimes you're simply cutting yourself short!
In life..
Goals and plans can sometimes take a lifetime to reach.
So what’s a lifetime compared to a week?
Nothing!
So you better start now!
When it comes to our worldly affairs, and our akhirah.
We should be thinking well ahead of time!
Ofcourse..
You may never reach your worldly goals.
But you will certainly meet, whatever you put forth for the Akhirah.
So plan for both!
Bu focus more on that which is guaranteed!
And that is your meeting with Allah.
The King of Kings!
The Magnificent!
الْعَظِيمُ (Al-Azim)
The Lord of Majesty and Bounty
(Dhu-al-Jalal wa al-Ikram) ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَ الإكْرَام
(Dhu-al-Jalal wa al-Ikram) ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَ الإكْرَام
SubhanAllah.
So, If you're not a person who plans well ahead.
It’s time to put your long term spectacles on.
And plant seeds of goodness, wherever you are!
By spending in the way of Allah.
Through charitable efforts that are ongoing, after you are gone.
And your worldly affairs (goals)..
Planting seeds that will benefit you, your families and your communities long term insha Allah.
Because before you know it.
You're at the finish line of life…
And only then..
You realise..
What it was all about...
