A great sister shared this with me and I thought I would share it with you too :)
From the chapter: “Today is all that you have”
When you wake up in the morning, do not expect to see the evening—-live as though today is all that you have. Yesterday has passed with its good and evil, while tomorrow has not yet arrived. Your life’s span is but one day, as if you were born in it and will die at the end of it. With this attitude, you will not be caught between an obsession over the past, with all its anxieties, and the hopes of the future, with all its uncertainty. Live for today: During this day you should pray with a wakeful hearth, recite the Qur’an with understanding, and remember God with sincerity. In this day, you should be balanced in your affairs, satisfied with your allotted portion, concerned with your appearance and health.
Organize the hours of this day, so that you make years out of minutes, and months out of seconds. Seek forgiveness from your lord, remember him, prepare for the final parting from this world, and live today happily and at peace. Be content with your sustenance, your wife/husband, children, your work, your home, and your station in life
“So hold that which I have given you and be of the grateful.”
-(Quran, Ch. 7 verse 144)
