They will be recognized by their glowing faces with the righteous, May Allah help us – we don't even think of this inevitable day and the consequences of our heedlessness. OMG- Allah -Please Help us now…..to please not ourselves but seek and strive for the pleasure of our Creator. Ameen

We never disregard the enemies of Allah
