Don’t be the last one

Don't Be the Last One…

I want you to imagine the Day of Judgment. You've come, and all the people from your area, from your town, from your class have come — and they're all being entered into Jannah one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one.

And you know how in the school days, there's one person — the last person picked on the football team. Some of you can't relate much to that football — you're the last person there standing. A crushing realization comes over you. You're not sure, you're shaking: Is it me? Did I make it? Did I not?

This feeling of being left behind — they call it today FOMO: fear of missing out. People experience FOMO today in so many ways. They say they're constantly checking their phone because they think they're missing out on something. Some of their friends are having a party, they're constantly worried — why? What's wrong? Habibi, I don't know what I'm missing out on.

This fear of missing out is something that has to drive you and me to realize what we will be missing out on if we come last on the Day of Judgment — what we will be missing out on if we are left behind on the Day of Judgment.
