THINGS THAT CAUSES THE BAD END (OF ONE’S LIFE)

FIRST: DELAYING REPENTANCE

For each and every matured Muslim it is an enjoined duty to repent to Allah before it is too late. As said in the holy Quran:

“And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O

Believers, that you may be successful.” [Qur'an 24:31].

 

The Prophet (pbuh) used to ask Allah's forgiveness one hundred times every day although Allah has already forgiven him his sins. Al-`Aghar Al-Muzni said that the Prophet(pbuh) said:

“O people! Turn in repentance to Allah. Verily! I turn

in repentance to Him one hundred times every day.”

[Muslim  2702].

SECOND: HOPE IN LIFE.

Satan as our great enemy makes us oblivious of the hereafter by beguiling us, then makes us think we have much life to come, so we can do whatsoever we want in our youth hood. The prophet (pbuh) warns us of two things :

“I mostly fear for you two things: Following desires, and

The long hope (in life); following desires hinders you from

(accepting) the Truth (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, etc.),

And long hope is (going to lead you towards) loving this

World to a extent that you will stop thinking in the

Hereafter and the Islamic obligations enjoined on you.”

[Ibn Abu Ad-Dunya narration with a weak chain of narrators. AI-Iraqi

(commentary) on AI-Ihya (4/433)].

If some on love this world more than the hereafter he will have great desire ,will strive only to gain pleasure in this world forgetting about build his house in the hereafter.

Whereas, hopeless in life will make you think about the hereafter, remember your Robb and strive towards earning Jannah(PARADISE).the Prophet (pbuh) mention some obstacle in this hadith:

“Step towards (good) deeds before seven [obstacles

hinder you from doing them (deeds)]:

Do you wait but for abject poverty that makes you

forget (Islamic obligations on you), extravagant richness,

destructive diseases, detested senility, death, or Pseudo

Messiah;

(these are all) absent evils that are being waited or the

Hour (which is also being waited) and it is more detested

and harder (on you than all these).” [At-Tirmidhi (2408) and

he said: "This hadith is a sound one"].

Abdullah Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said: The Prophet (pbuh)once Held my shoulders and said:

“Live in this world as (if you are) a wayfarer or a

stranger (who will sooner or later leave the town he is

staying in).”

THIRD: LOVING THE SIN AND GETTING USE TO IT.

If a person gets use to any sins and never wills to repent from it, shaytaan will seize his heart over it and it will be the only sin he will think of when the time of death is reached. The following are some real stories

There was a man who used to work as an auctioneer in

the market. When death came to him his sons induced

him to utter the two testifications [i.e. saying:

“Ashhadu Anna La lllaha IllaAllah Wa'anna

Muhammadan Rasul Allah – There is no God but Allah

and Muhammad is His Messenger]," the father only

said: "Four and half, four and half.”

It was said to another: Say, “La ilaha-illa Allah” she

said: “Many times she would say that she had got

tired.”

It was said to a third person: Say, “La ilaha-illa Allah”

but he sang.

The Prophet 􀁕 said:

“He who dies on something (i.e. doing it), Allah will

resurrect him on the same state (he was in) before his

death.” Al-Hakim narrated it and he said: “It is authentic according

to the conditions that Muslim put for the authentic ahadith,” and

At-Thahabi agreed with him.” [Al-Mustadrak (1/340)]

FORTH: SUICIDE

If a Muslim is afflicted with a calamity and shows patience and seeks Allah's

Pleasure, for him is a tremendous reward. But if a Muslim show impatience and gives up (with Allah mercy) and think the only way to get rid of his problems is to commit suicide, for him is the torment of the hell. Bukhari narrated that Abu Hurairah(Ra)

said: The Prophet 􀁕 said:

“He who commits suicide by throttling shall keep on

throttling in the Hell-Fire (forever) and he who commits

suicide by stabbing himself shall keep on stabbing himself

in the Hell-Fire (forever).” [Bukhari (3/180)].

Bukhari and Muslim, may Allah have mercy on them both, narrated that Abu

Hurairah 􀁗 said:

"A man witnessed the battle of Khaibar with the Prophet

􀁕, and he 􀁕 said about a man claiming to be a Muslim:

"This (man) is from the dwellers of Hell-Fire." When the

battle began, the man [whom the Prophet 􀁕 talked about

strove satisfactorily and he was wounded badly. Then it

was said to the Prophet 􀁕: "The man you talked about

earlier strove in the battle satisfactorily and died (isn't

he a martyr?!)." The Prophet 􀁕 said: "To Hell-Fire (he

shall go)." Doubt sneaked to the hearts of the Muslims.

While being in such a state, it was said that the man did

not actually die but wounded badly. When night came,

the man could not bear the pains and killed himself (i.e.

committed suicide). The Prophet 􀁕 was told the matter

and then he 􀁕 said: "I bear witness that I am Allah's

Slave and Messenger." Then he 􀁕 ordered Bilal 􀁗 to

announce for people that: "None will enter Paradise but a

believer. And verily, Allah may support this religion

(Islam) with a wicked (sinful) man." [Bukhari narration

(6/125) and Muslim (111)].
