DO NOT POSTPONE GOOD DEEDS
The last advice of the Holy Prophet ﷺ Part 4. English translation of a talk by Mufti Taqi Usmani DB
The Holy Prophet ﷺ has said;
“When it is morning time, do not wait for the evening, and when it is evening, do not wait for the morning. Consider yourself to be one of those people who are in their graves.”
It means that keep thinking that you may be going to your grave any moment, therefore, do not postpone things you need to do, for tomorrow.
Satan has unique ways of deceiving people. So, it won’t try to convince a Muslim to give up praying Salah, or try to convince him that it is not important. It puts thoughts into a Muslim’s mind that “Salah is very important, but I will start praying it at a time when I know I will keep praying it regularly from then on. I don’t feel I am ready for that today, so what is the point of praying just one Salah or praying it for just one day. I will start from tomorrow.” When the chore for which a person had postponed his plan of starting Salah is finished, he comes across another chore, another commitment, and then another. And this way the Satan makes him keep postponing starting Salah to ‘tomorrow’, but tomorrow never comes.
