FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Hadhrat Jaabir (Radiyallahu Anhu) reports that in a khutbah, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam) said:

"O people, ask forgiveness for your sins before death overwhelms you. Hasten to do good deeds before you are immersed in other occupations. Always maintain a close relationship with Allah by remembering Him often and by giving sadaqah—whether secretly or openly. This will provide you with sustenance, assistance, and improvement in your condition."
