it's the end of the day ...

thinking about the moon ...

and thinking about the road ...

where i am standing ...

i can see only the moon ...

i cannot see the end of the road ...

and so is this life ...

i can only hope ...

We look again into the guidance as shown by the Prophet SAW on how to travel the highway of life as highlighted in the Hadith collection of Imam Al-Nawawi rahimahuLLAH ...


Hadith No 4 ... Deeds are their final actions

On the authority of Abu Abdurhman Abdullah ibn Mas`ood (ra), who said: The Messenger of Allah (sas) and he is the Truthful, the Believed, narrated to us:

Verily the creation of each one of you is brought together in his mother's womb for forty days in the form of a nutfah (a drop), then he becomes an 'alaqah (clot of blood) for a like period, then a mudghah (morsel of flesh) for a like period, then there is sent to him the angel who blows his soul into him and who is commanded with four matters: to write down his rizq (sustenance), his life span, his actions, and whether he will be happy or unhappy (i.e. whether or not he will enter Paradise).

By the One, other than Whom there is no deity, verily one of you performs the actions of the people of Paradise until there is but an arms length between him and it, and that which has been written overtakes him, and so he acts with the actions of the people of the Hellfire and thus enters it; and verily one of you performs the actions of the people of the Hellfire, until there is but an arms length between him and it, and that which has been written overtakes him and so he acts with the actions of the people of Paradise and thus he enters it.

(Sahih Bukhari and Muslim)
