Harun Yahya
Harun Yahya

Godless people cannot enjoy the pleasure of Allah's blessings;
from the moment they wake up in the morning they return to the
monotony of doing the same things every day. There is another
kind of person who is unaware that the new day may be the last op-
portunity Allah has given him: he prepares himself quickly to start
his day avid to make more money, to show off to others with his
possessions or appearance, to attract the attention of others and be
liked.
Those who ignore the facts that Allah has revealed in the
Qur'an may start their day in their own ways, but there is a com-
mon lack of wisdom in the way they behave: they do not consider
that Allah created them, that they are responsible for serving Him
and winning His approval and that the new day before them may
be the last opportunity they have to fulfil their duty towards Him.
Allah reveals their condition in these words:
Mankind's Reckoning has drawn very close to them, yet they
heedlessly turn away. (Surat al-Anbiya': 1)

It is clear that those who live immersed in this great error have
made a huge mistake. One must not forget that every morning may
be the beginning of the last day allotted to one's earthly life. Death
may come at any moment, because of a traffic accident, an unex-
pected disease or any one of countless other causes. In that case, as
we said above, we must think about what we have to do to spend
the day before us so as to win Allah's approval.
