Hasan al-Basri was asked: What is the secret to your being so detached from this worldly life?

He replied:

“I am certain that none besides me will take from the sustenance that has been allotted to me.

I am certain that no one else will do good deeds for me, so I personally carry them out.

I am always conscious of the fact that Allah is watching me so I feel ashamed to commit any sin.

I am aware that death awaits me so I make preparations to meet Allah."

I ask Allah to make these things real for us.

I was so much reflected by it, that browsed to know more and more of this battle. Even had a discussion with a brother {khalifa bhai}. Am sorry i bothered him very much, but i wished even we women participate in such battles. I did not want to limit myselves holding just the intention --. I was advised that why do i not yearn to be "a siddiqah', which is of higher status than a shaheed ! That cooled me a bit though not contended. Hope Heena Ma'm you too are reading this. You wanted me to write articles on my own, and Battle of Uhud, made me to start up. JazakiAllahu khayr for your words of encouragement. Here i thought, i shud share few incidents from Battle of Uhud : My little lines are enclosed in brackets. Dua made by Abdullah ibn Jahsh and his friend Sa'd (radhi Allahu anhu) : {It ...
