Best day of my life!

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

I used to think that the day I  get married will be the best day of my life. Don't get me wrong it was great... the sun was shining, I was happy & things worked out fine! But despite it all going smoothly, it wasn't the best day of my life as it did have moments of worry, moments of anxiety....moments when it felt it would all go horribly wrong......so I really cant call it the best day of my life.

Then the day I give birth I thought will to be the best day of my life, the day  I have been waiting for. Again the day itself was stressful as I didn't know what was going to happen, the pain, the worry, the anxiety but Alhamdulillah the end result was my beautiful twins....a huge blessing of Allah SWT....a day that Allah SWT gave me the honour of being a mother....a mother about whom the hadith states:

A man came to the Prophet and said, ‘O Messenger of God! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship? The Prophet said: Your mother. The man said, ‘Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man further asked, ‘Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man asked again, ‘Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your father. (Bukhari, Muslim).....what a beautiful honour Allah SWT has bestowed upon being a mother!

So was the day my twins were born my best day.....again the answer is No! Why because  I pray that my best day is yet to come.....

A Bedouin made a very interesting dua: 

Ya Allah! Make the best of my deeds my last deeds, and make the best of my life my last moments, and make the best day of my life, the day I meet You.

This is the dua that I make to Allah SWT as I love the wording.....I too want my best day to be the day that I meet Allah SWT.....the day Allah  says to me "Peace be with you, I am so pleased with you"

How wonderful will that day be......I cant even begin to imagine the sheer joy that I will experience.....I don't think any words will ever be able to explain that feeling so I just pray & pray that I get blessed with this opportunity. In the meantime while I am alive I have a lot of work to do......I have to continue striving in the Path of Allah SWT so I may be of those fortunate ones who will be granted the honour of meeting Allah.....with that in mind I make sincere dua that my best day is yet to come Inshallah!
