Doomsday Scenario

The world ends tomorrow.
You only have time to do 5 things.
What do you do? (bare in mind u only have a single day to do them).

Comments

1. A meal with people I know, let them know what is important.
2. Make sure I have caught up with any good tv shows.
3. Sky dive
4. Make sure I have had plenty of sleep.
5. Make sure all passwords and stuff for places like the revival hosting, admin etc are in a place that are accessible to others (with effort) just in case the world for everyone is not ending.

And you could arrange all that in a single day???? Sky diving??? You do realise if uve not done it before you go through like a 3 day training course. Has to be something realistic bro.

I did not know that but 4/5 is 80%. good grade I think. I could always sleep more I guess...

Go to Damascus Airport and pay whatever it costs to get back to London.
Pray Maghrib and Isha combined (cos I'd be on journey).
Pray Fajr (getting the motivation to get up might finally not be so difficult).
See my family and close friends (they'd have to meet me in the airport if anything) and ask them all to forgive me for all the times I've sinned against them.
Pray Zhur and 'Asr combined.

All the above is with the proviso of 'insha'Allah', of course.

And in the prayers I would ask Allah (swt) to forgive me for all the times I've sinned against him.

Anything else would be just silly.

Don't just do something! Stand there.

1. Pray for forgiveness
2.Give all my money to charity
3. Say goodbye to friends
4. Tell everyone to forgive me who ever still holds a grudge.
5. Pray more

You all are SO good masha'Allah... and so sterdy in your imaan Masha'Allah.

So organised Masha'Allah... and so content with what may come your way Masha'Allah.

Yes, but the punchline is no one knows when the end of the world will arrive and how long you will have to prepare. So if theres anything you want to do or say then now is your chance. Who knows if tomorrow will come?

Back in BLACK

If it was Doomsday tomorrow,

1) Pray for forgiveness
2) Talk to friends, family and everyone that I know
3) Give someone hope
4) Plant a tree
5) Sit in a lush green park/valley and smile and be ready to go.

Why?

I think people are taking "doomsday" as the day of their personal demise rather than something that is all encompassing.

Question is (I think) what would you do if you knew the WHOLE world would end in 24 hours.

That's what I meant by 'why'.

Because there's a Hadith that says (sorry can't remember the reference, it was in the book called Quest for Sanity by the MCB) that if you find out that the Day of Judgment is coming in a few hours don't rush off to pray thousands of nawafil, but finish doing what you are doing, especially if it's planting a tree.

I suppose, I don't know why I like the idea of a tree, I just do. Reminds me of peace and strength, trees were held in high regard by the Prophet (pbuh).
But again, I don't know why I like it, I just do.

So you are already planting a tree? If not, then the hadith doesn't say to start doing it?

But what's the harm in starting? You have 1 whole day, so might as well.

I think there is a hadith where the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) said that if you are planting a tree when Judgement comes, finish the job.

Dunno if this was mentioned above, its a big topic and I ain't reading it.

Also wed, trees existed for millions of years before humans were around to water them.

Don't just do something! Stand there.

1. Ask Allah for mercy for sins
2, apologize to anyone owed an apology or may have done wrong to
3. Spend time with family
4. Visit graveyard to see cousins etc
5. PRAY some more
