Happy New Year?
Another year gone..
Another year closer to your death...
"And when the graves are turned upside down (and they bring out their contents)
(Then) a person will know what he has sent forward and (what he has) left behind (of good or bad deeds). O man! What has made you careless concerning your Lord, the Most Generous?"

Gratitude is built upon five pillars...

"Gratitude is built upon five pillars: Submissiveness to Allah from the one expressing gratitude; loving Him for it; acknowledging His favor; praising Him for it; and not utilizing it in a way that displeases Him."

An-Najwa (secret talk between Allah and His believing worshipper on the Day of Judgment)

A man asked Ibn ‘Umar (radhiAllahu ‘anhu),
"What did you hear Allah’s Apostle saying regarding An-Najwa (secret talk between Allah and His believing worshipper on the Day of Judgment)?" He said, "(The Prophet said), "One of you will come close to his Lord till He will shelter him in His screen and say: Did you commit such-and-such sin? He will say, ‘Yes.’ Then Allah will say: Did you commit such and such sin? He will say, ‘Yes.’ So Allah will make him confess (all his sins) and He will say, ‘I screened them (your sins) for you in the world, and today I forgive them for you."’

...Every person is a pledge for what he has earned."

 
"A warning to mankind, 
To any of you that chooses to go forward (by working righteous deeds), or to remain behind (by commiting sins), 
Every person is a pledge for what he has earned."

...Verily! Those on whom you call besides Allah, cannot create (even) a fly, even though they combine together for the purpose...

"O mankind! A similitude has been coined, so listen to it (carefully): Verily! Those on whom you call besides Allah, cannot create (even) a fly, even though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly snatched away a thing from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought. 
They have not estimated Allah His Rightful Estimate; Verily, Allah is All-Strong, All-Mighty."
