Go to the graveyards. Look at the graves from 20, 30 years ago. Tell me, who among you remembers their names, their deeds, their laughter or their tears?
Verily, in most cases, you shall find no trace of memory, no whisper of their existence.
O soul deceived by the glitter of this fleeting world!
You too shall lie beneath the dust, forgotten by those who walk the earth.
Only the deeds performed sincerely for the sake of Allah shall endure beyond the soil.
Yet know this: there is one love that never dies —
the love for Sayyiduna Muhammad Mustafā ﷺ.
He whose heart is adorned with the love of the Beloved ﷺ shall find light in the grave, and honour in the hereafter.
Strive, therefore, not for fleeting fame,
but for the eternal pleasure of Allah and nearness to His Beloved ﷺ.
"فاعتبروا يا أولي الأبصار"
(Therefore, learn a lesson, O those who can perceive!)
May Allah grant us the tawfeeq to live and die with the remembrance and love of Rasoolullah ﷺ in our hearts, and be raised among those beloved to Him.
