2Disclaimer
- All numbers in this presentation are for
comparative use and reference only. - These numbers are not actual. Use as a guide to
select deeds. - Only Allah knows gives the actual rewards of
any deed.
3Take Advantage
- We work very hard to achieve for this worldly
life. - We need to work very hard for the eternal life as
well. - If you live 120 years, 30-40 years Sleep,
40-50 years Work, worry,
etc.
Only 30-40 years to enjoy if you are not sick. - The Day of Judgment itself is 50,000 years.
Your 120 years life 3.4
minutes, - your comfort life 1 minute
- If it is so difficult to take care of worldly
affairs, how smart should you be for the life
hereafter?
4The Riches of This World Worldly Asset
Earnings - Expenses/Loss
- You lose asset ownership as soon as you die.
- You give account for every single cent.
- A poor person will enter heaven 40 years AHEAD of
a rich person with similar good deeds. (Meshkat) - The more worldly assets you have, the stricter
accounting you will have on the Day of Judgment. - If your assets are used on unislamic things even
after you leave, you are held responsible.
The reverse
is also true.

21Virtues of Dawah
- Convey from me even if it be a single verse.
(Bukhari) - One Morning or Evening in the path of Allah is
better than the World and all that it contains.
(Bukhari) - Headache in the path of Allah forgives all past
sins. (Tabarani) - Lailatul Qadr (LQ) 1,000 months of good deeds.
In Makka it is 100,000 times increased
100,000,000 months of good deeds 8.3 million
years. A
person who goes for Dawah for a short time gets
more than 8.3 million years of good deeds.
(Ibne-Hibban) - You dont have to wait for Ramadan to find LQ or
go to Makka to get more. You can get more rewards
throughout the year from anywhere simply by going
for Dawah. No one can beat that price!!!
22Best Strategy for Hereafter
- Engage in Dawah most of the time. (Highest
rewards). - Parallel Processing You can do many things at
the same time, more Barakat. People use only 5
of their brainpower. 95 is sitting idle. You can
do many things more than what you actually do.
Make your own package. - Look at the activities of Rasul (r) during his 23
years Mind has unlimited potential. There is
always room for improvement. - Intentions You can make lots of Intentions on
good deeds, ponder on how you can participate in
Dawah, help Muslims. This was the fikr concern
of Rasulullah (r) all the time. - Prepare If you have nothing to do, then
exercise. Dont oversleep, overeat or be a couch
potato. Get prepared. The Sahabas used to raise
horses/camels to use for Jihad.
23How to Avoid Bankruptcy in The Life Hereafter
- You can file bankruptcy and take shelter in this
life. You
can not hide from creditors on the Day of
Judgment. Your lips will be sealed. All your body
parts will speak to give witness. You have to pay
with good deeds. Avoid big disasters in
Hereafter.. - Stop at Stop-1, 2, and 3, get checked, get
clearance. - Build assets such as involve in Dawah,
Sadqa-e-Jaria. - Ask/Beg/Pay to those whose rights you have
violated. It is much cheaper to compensate in
this world than hereafter. -
24Clear All Debt in This World, Not in The
Hereafter 3c Debt 750 Rakats of Salat 25
Days Salat
25How To Play It Safe
- Repent Cry blood for all past sins. Rasul (r)
used to repent 100 times/day. (Muslim). How about
you? - Get out of Haram Haram has no boundaries.
Dont assume that it is OK to avoid
haram mixed up business but it is OK to use mixed
up funds for Islamic causes. No good deeds are
accepted. Dont be a loser. - People at the Border (50/50) Good Deeds
Sins. Always do more than minimum required
Add Nafl salat before after
salat, read Quran daily, give Sadaqa, go for
Dawah, help a Muslim, etc. Do extra. - Protect your Hereafter constantly. Saitan works
24 hours to destroy your assets by silently
luring you to major sins. Either you are building
or destroying your assets at any given time. A
Momen is always careful vigilant.
26How to Get Sins Converted Into Good Deeds
- Those who repent and believe, and do righteous
deeds, Allah will exchange your sins with good
deeds. (Al-Furqan70). - You can do it in this world, not hereafter. Try
to perform those good Deeds now.
