Preparations For The Afterlife Poem by Yassar Ali

We cannot deny that death is coming
Sooner or later our hearts will stop drumming
The spark that lit our lives will cease to burn and will eventually die out
We will question the choices we made in life and will be in doubt
Like every other moment we will beg for paradise
As we watch our whole life flash before our eyes
Showing the moments of happiness and pain
The paths we crossed only for personal gain
Every single word we ever spoke
The promises we made and broke
The da'wah to those around us we never did
Those shameful secrets on which we put a lid
For every single bad deed we committed we will be accounted for
And for every good deed we will be brought closer to paradise's door
When all hope seems lost hope for the Prophet to intercede for me and you
I pray for you and me to form love for the Prophet only which is true
This life of ours is but a test
Top grades are for the blessed
Failure is not an option for you and me
That is if we want to be hell free
During all the intolerable suffering & pain
We hope to meet The Prophet at His fountain
Blessed are the eyes that welcome prayer before the morning light
Blessed are the feet that feel no pain when standing in prayer at night
Some of the rights given by The Almighty to our sister's is denied
They are forced into a loveless marriage even though they cried
How can one watch their own feel such pain
Due to being abroad her attempt to escape is in vain
Oh Creator, bring ease to those brothers and sisters who are in hardship and pain
Give the needy crops by showering the dry fields with blessed rain
