My 90th Post: Hell

It is really tough when someone imagines the life in hell....how would it be and what punishments one would bare there....few hours ago, I was thinking about the same thing...only the difference here was that I was having a nightmare about hell....
Life was ending and people were falling down the cracks in the earth....no one was able to run from it unless they chanted the name of Allah and were reciting a kalma and something else which I don't remember....there was some light blue circle around the ones who were reciting those verses and the devil was scared from them and when ever he attempted to capture them, he was burnt by that light....there were people but not exactly people who were commanding everyone  to remember their Lord and ask for His forgiveness so that they may be blessed with heaven.....
People were crying and all I could see was that the ones who weren't amongst the worshippers of Allah, were thrown mercilessly in the pit from where blazing fire could be seen....the devil smiled upon their idiocy and was pleased with their descend......the sky was falling and it was dark, just enough to allow people to view the torments upon the ones who still were denying His power.....
My dream became odd....I don't really remember who, but there was someone whom I was trying to save and due to that someone, I wasn't able to recite in time.....I saved that someone and started to recite but the devil saw me and said that it was a mighty deed of me to save that someone but he had to take someone instead, so took me....I was reciting but couldn't complete that blue circle and angels were trying to help me by motivating to completely recite but I was unable to do that and I fell in the pit of fire....
It was a scary fall and I would be sweating in my sleep if someone saw me then....when I reached the bottom, things went way too odd....there were many punishments there and the least painful I recall was the one having a conveyor belt upon which there was meat rolling around....people were thrown upon that and underneath their feet was something burning, hotter than the lava....people were getting roasted and chopped and at the end, they came to same state again and the process carried on....punishments carried on in turns and after one punishment, another awaited.....
The whole experience was just too horrid so am not gonna write about other things as some of my readers won't be suitable to that information but what so ever, everything was worst than it sounds while someone is reading this....
After the series of punishments, I realised that there was a way out....the devil was just someone who was doing his duties and didn't have grudge against the people....except enjoying what he was doing, he really didn't care much about the happenings and there was still a chance for me to get free....I somehow had a feeling in my heart that it was just a part of a test, it wasn't a real set of punishment...all I had to do is believe in Allah even when I was down there....I just had to believe that no matter what if I just trust Him, then the torments won't affect me and that did happen...the devil became lenient towards me and after a while, there came a door for me to follow....my dream ended here and I woke up thinking what that meant...
I thought to share this with you guys as well...maybe this is what it meant when I tried helping others and except that, I am trying to realise what really was there and what I am being told to do.....
Do share....

My 41st Post: Chand Raat

A few days back, I wrote off a post upon the act of iftari....what goes on and what we feel during that time interval; wrote every detail and naming it the part of Ramadan....it feels as if that was only a week earlier when I included that post in my blog but no, the whole month passed away tonight....Ramadan of 2012 just ended, this blessed month won't be back for an other year now....who ever did good and fasted the whole month, would certainly receive his/her rewards and who so ever did bad, may Allah bless him/her and forgive all those encountered sins...

Well as the month ends, it is time for Eid....a day celebrated on the closure of the month after the sight of the crescent moon of a new month....in my region, Eid is going to knock on our door steps on 20th of August and today was the day to complete all the preparations for the upcoming parties!!

I have been busy in some chores since 3 days now....had a long list of shopping and some other work but still that wasn't as hectic as today....my arms really hurt right now because today was the final day and had to finish all the remaining things....today was the final fast and was the chand raat (night of the sight of a new moon)....

The day started as any other day of the month....I remained awake till sehri in order to blog and then after sehri was going to sleep but received a text from my buddy that he had arranged a football match...I knew how the day was going to be but still it was football....I just couldn't say no specially on the last day of Ramadan....it felt special....so instead of sleeping went out and played and won as well....the game ended with 4-3....came home, slept late so woke up late and the time was messed up....had to do some shopping and then gave time to the family....after everything, I started to wax my ride and after nearly 4 hours, told myself that now the job is done.....get freshened up and relax....

Well that was the summary of how I spent my day....but normally that was the least busiest schedule anyone would have....you should really check out the markets...they are flushed with people rushing from here and there....the shops seem to be filled with enough people to make them burst apart....I can still imagine a road jam and the drivers continuously honking and looking forward to get a perfect parking spot....housewives at home, would be busy in preparing delicious dishes for people like me to munch on....most of those dishes would be something sweet in order to fill hearts with love and to make a person drip nice words on the day of Eid....girls would be busy in getting their hands tattooed with mehandi....I hate mehandi but still me hating it doesn't makes any difference, just making a statement here.....

Everyone would be running here and there....someone would be shouting because their dress isn't perfectly stitched and on the other hand there would be a person among us all who couldn't get a hair cut and now the barber's shop is over crowded...everyone would be busy tonight in doing stuff....this all seems a fuss but still it is worth it....after a night's fuss, a beautiful day would arrive.....

Now it is my time to sign off because I have to wake up early for the Eid prayer....in all the work, I forgot to confirm the time for the Eid prayer but well got the information...just a few moments earlier, my elder cousin Yaqoob called to inquire about the time and then in the end told me to mention his name here...so here it is bha, you are mentioned in my post :) would see you at the prayer tomorrow insha-Allah and I exactly know what you are going to say so I would like to say sorry in advance :P

Take care everyone, hope you had a wonderful time today and keep yourself updated with my blog....do share and comment.....
