Imagine if you had a penpal that you wrote to every day or someone that you spoke to on the phone for years and years

And then you meet them in person for the very first time

If you took five years of prayer and you just calculated five prayers a day for five years

No Sunnas nothing else not even taking into account the various circumstances of people

That means you would have prayed about 10,000 times

That's 10,000 times you've been in dialogue with your Lord and that's not including du'at or anything else

Now if you've had all those conversations and you still don't feel like you've ever spoken to Allah or have a relationship with him

That's significant if you have a relationship with him in this dunya

He's not going to let you down in the aahiyah as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said

So that's the difference between the two arriving on the day of judgement

Abu Hazm, Rahim Allah was asked, how will returning to Allah be like?

He said, as for the obedient one, his return is that of a loved one who is absence, whose family is eager for his return

And as for the sinner, it's like the return of a runaway captive and his return to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

All of this is to say that the day of judgement is not just when you meet your deeds

But more importantly, it's when you meet your Lord with your deeds

And you want that meeting to be a reunion, not an introduction and you definitely don't want it to be an apprehension

In the name of Allah, we fear from our Lord a distrustful day

So Allah spared them of the horror of that day and gave them radiance and inner joy

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave them radiance and inner joy

So Allah spared them of the horror of that day and gave them radiance and inner joy

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that Allah has said, by my might, I will never combine in my servants how feign what I'm name
