According to Thabit ibn Hajjaj, Umar ibn Khattab once said, "Weigh your actions before they are weighed, and reckon with yourself before you are reckoned with, for today's reckoning will be easier than tomorrow's. And prepare yourself for the great appearance (of the Judgement Day)".

As-salaamu'alaykum wa Rahmatu Llahi wa Barakatuhu my dearest sister,
Another wonderful post! Jazak'Allah. If we took even an ounce of this excellent advice, we'd have no time to point fingers at others, and worry about what everyone else is doing wrong!.. Doesn't it feel like that's the point we've come to?! Ahh..
May Allah guide us and help us to prepare for the Great Day! Ameen.
Wa'alaykum as-salaam
