Sleeping According to Quran
SLEEP
Assalamu alaikum warahmatu lalhi wabarakatuhu!
Would you like to know what happens when you sleep??
Allah says in the Quran:
It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that
die not (He takes) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed
the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life),but the
rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed.Verily in this
are Signs for those who reflect.
Quran, Chapter 39 verse 42
This means: every time you sleep, Allah takes your souls,amongst many
other souls he takes during sleeping. Then Allah decides who is going
to be given another chance. For those who are blessed with another
chance, Allah will permit their souls to go back to their bodies, the
rest he keeps back from returning to life i.e.they die.
This means: each time you go to bed you should never be sure you will
get up again, you ONLY have 50% chance for coming back to life. This
means: each time you go to bed you should be
prepared for your hereafter.
This means: when you wake up the next day you should appreciate how
lucky (blessed) you are. And say 'Blessed be the one who returned my
soul to my body, and granted me another chance'. This is what the
prophet PBUH used to say when he wakes up. This means: when you wake
up the next day you should make sure you utilize the new day as much
as you can before sleep time comes,in case the new day you are living
is the last chance you are given.
This means: you should try to make sure you recite sura AL-MULK
(chapter 67) before sleeping, because the prophet PBUH promised that
one who reads this sura before sleeping is saved from the punishment
of the grave.May Allah forgive us all and bless us with a happy life
in this dunya and the hereafter.
