The call for prayers

In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful

Title: The call for prayers

Too often, we live our lives like there is no akhirat. We are always so caught up with our worldly affairs; that we sometimes tend to forget about The One who loves us the most. Some would say: I will solat when I think I'm ready and that taubat can wait. But what we don't remember is that, the Angel of Death doesn't wait. It has almost become a habit for me to secretly listen to the azan before I turn in to bed everynight, because I fear that I wouldn't get the chance to await and listen for the call for Subuh prayers the next morning.

Up till today, I still find it hard to believe that I used to take my solat lightly. Sometimes, I would rush through the rakaats in my solat, and peck in my solat like hens. Who did I think I was? Did I think that I could live forever? Did I think that I could live my life without having Allah by my side? Did I think that this world was mine? Why was I such a FOOL?
