We all enjoy each time when a new year comes. Yes we have to be happy. But we should also be very sad and afraid. Why should we be happy? Why should become sad? Why should we be afraid?
First, Why should we be happy? Yes, we should be happy because Allah has extended our life till this year. But the point to be noted is most of us never thank Allah for extending our life this long. But this is what we should do in our happiness, we must thank Allah. Because, without the willing of Allah we get nothing. Al hamdhulillah.
And why should we become sad and afraid? Because, we are getting elder day by day. We are getting closer to our death day by day. We are getting closer to the day of judgement day by day. We have to be sad and afraid because our death and the day of judgement is getting near to us everyday. Do we have enough good deeds? Don't think so, try more, try harder.
Al hamdhulillah, Allah gave us a long life to do more good things. Oh Allah, you gave us long life to do more good things, please keep us away from all the things which lead us to astray. Aameen.
