Our passing lifetime

Mufti Taqi Usmani stresses on self islah, such that we carefully think how we can improve ourselves with every passing day – since a hadith says: “manistawa yawmaaho, fahuwa maghmoom” – (meaning that whoever finds two of his days equal (in virtues) is in loss ! )

He further relates that this age passes very quickly in our daily business – and relates how Hadhrat Abdul Hai RA, would relate this in one of his couplet :

Mein dekhta hi reh gaya narange-e-subh-o-shaam
Umar-e-fasana-saaz guzarti chali gayi
