Our Prophet's Lifestyle

Before it's too late!!

Did you ever stop for a while and asked yourself,
what is going to happen to me the first night in my grave ?

Think about the moment your body is being washed and prepared to your grave

Think about the day people will be carrying you to your grave

And your families crying …think about the moment you are put in your grave

Just imagine …yourself in your grave
Down there in that dark hole
Alone
Its too Dark you cry for help
But………
It is too narrow your bones are squashed
You regret missing 5 prayers ,you regret listening music ,you regret not wearing Hijab
You regret ignoring Allah ‘s orders
But no ESCAPE ……
You alone with your deeds
No money ,no jewelries, Only your deeds

May Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) protect us all from the punishment of the grave.Ameen

Dua'a E Kumayl -Taught by Imam Ali( A.S)كومال

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58C7efLec5M&list=PLE3E6E8D01884EE79

Line by line 3 column text format page ORIGIN OF THE DU'A Kumayl Ibn Ziyad Nakha'i was a confidant amongst the companions of  Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib (as.) and this sublime Du'a was first heard from the beautiful, though anguished, voice of Imam Ali. According to Allama Majlisi (on whom be Allah's Mercy) Kumayl had attended an assembly in the Mosque at Basra which was addressed by Imam Ali in the course of which the night of the 15th of Shaban was mentioned. Imam Ali said-"Whosoever keeps awake in devoutness on this night and recites the Du'a of Prophet Khizr, undoubtedly that person's supplication will be responded to and granted. When the assembly at the Mosque had dispersed, Kumayl called at the house where Imam Ali was staying, and requested him to acquaint him with Prophet Khizr's "Du'a". Imam Ali asked Kumayl to sit down, record and memorise the "Du'a" which Imam Ali dictated to Kumayl. Imam Ali then advised Kumayl to recite this "Du'a" on the eve of (i.e. evening preceding) every Friday, or once a month or at least once in every year so that, added Imam Ali, "Allah may protect thee from the evils of the enemies and the plots contrived by impostors. O' Kumayl! in consideration of thy companionship and understanding, I grant thee this honour of entrusting this "Du'a" to thee."
