Introduction

Allah has created this world so that creatures living here may, through good actions, provide for the Hereafter and do deeds that may earn for them Divine pleasure. However, we become so engrosed in the affairs of worldly life that we become oblivious of the true purpose of this life. So every living moment from morn till eve is spent in making earthly life better and more and more pleasant. In this struggle there are few of Allah's bondsmen who think of bettering their lot in the Hereafter, although it is an established fact, which even tie most hardened atheist cannot deny, that everyone has to leave this world one day and none knows exactly when the summons would come.
