Consider the fact that...

- We often ignore the Value of our Time on Earth (Q 63:10)
By the Token of Time... (Surah al-'Asr, Chapter 103)
Human beings are increasingly in a state of loss, except (those who utilize the 4 Keys to Salvation)
- Those who bind themselves to the ideology of Truth
- Those who manifest Goodness
- Those who Abide by and Exhort others towards Truth
- Those who Patently Persevere and Encourage others towards Patient Perseverance
Need of the Hour
- Be Tourist in your Own Life and consider its temporary nature.
- Value the opportunity of life
- Consider the consequence of your life
- Ask yourself, "Does my existence make a difference?"
Need of the hour
- Transform the world by removing the causes of the pervasive violence through
an honest and realistic quest for social justice.
Our Beloved Prophet (pbuh) is reported to have said:
"Value your life before your death"
"Consider your life in this world as a traveler passing by"
