Surah Ghafir.....ayat 18 to ayat 20

friends , dato and tansri,

Warn them (O Muhammad) of the Day of the approaching (doom), when the hearts will be choking the throats, (when) there will be no friend for the wrong-doers, nor any intercessor who will be heard. (18) He knoweth the traitor of the eyes, and that which the bosoms hide. (19) Allah judgeth with truth, while those to whom they cry instead of Him judge not at all. Lo! Allah, He is the Hearer, the Seer. (20) 

[ translation by pickthal ]

One day, an Arab man come to Prophet Muhammad [ pbuh ], and asked,

“Now, tell me of the Last Hour,” asked the man
The Prophet Muhammed (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, “The one asked knows no more of it than the one asking.”
“Then tell me about its signs,” said the man
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, “That slave women give birth to their mistresses; and that you see barefoot, unclothed, beginning shepherds competing in the construction of tall buildings

Then the visitor left, and I waited a long time. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me, “Do you know, Omar, who the questioner was?” I replied, “Allah and His Messenger know best.”He said (Allah bless him and give him peace), “It was Jibril. He came to you to teach you your religion.

[ a tradition as narrated by saidina umar ........ muslim ]

but for you and me , my friends, mostly all in our 50's and 60's, our 'hour' may just be tomorrow!

your excellency, what have you done to be ready for the 'hour'?
you think your prayer and zikr  and your fasting are enough to get you through...?
when you can continue to lend support, active and passive, for outright bad character and kufr amongst  you and your leadership?
