Timely Reminder - Tumblr Posts

We hope that once we pass away that those beloved to us will do some kind of sadaqah jariyah for us to honour our memory. But my recent reflection questions this notions;

Why do I wait for people to leave a legacy for me?

How dare I wait for my Lord to take me before I decide to do good that will benefit me in the hereafter?

What am I waiting for?

When will I take initiative and honour my own memeory?

It occurred to me that I don't want to wait until I pass for someone to honour me. He knows I love Him, but I am still in need of every good deed I can find so that I could enter into Paradise without any difficulty.

I thought it is time for me to take a hold of my own legacy. The point is, we know people will, or we hope that that those beloved to us will try their best to honour our memory by doing as much sadaqah jariyah for us after our passing, but we should not wait until death approaches us to do beautiful deed. Start now, do it for yourself and do it for the sake of Allah.

We all need as many good deed on the day of Judgement, so start leaving your own legacy and people will follow with the same after your passing. We ask Allah to take us when He is most pleased with us and to give us a good ending.
