JUDGE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU ARE JUDGED

It is suggested to our brothers and sisters whether beginners, illustrious workers, or responsible leaders, that they should have a daily period put aside for self-evaluation and examination. We should realise that all of us are going to be accountable for our deeds on the Day of Judgement. It is therefore wise that we continuously assess ourselves in this world and make amends before that final judgement by Allah when we will not be given an opportunity to make up for our misdeeds.
The prophet said: 'Everyone starts his day and is a vendor of his soul, either freeing it or bringing about its ruin.' (Muslim).
1. Did I offer my five daily Salat on time?
2. Am I satisfied with the quality of my Salat?
3. How many verses of the Qur'an did I memorise?
4. What steps did I take to bring my family closer to Islam?
5. How many Salat did I offer in congregation?
6. What part of the Qur'an did I read with understanding?
7. What did I do to fulfil my duty as a da'iyah (caller to Islam)?
8. Have I treated my parents with love and respect and have I given due consideration to all their needs?
9. Did I safeguard my tongue from useless speech?
10. Did I commend others for the good things they may have done?
11. Did I take an interest in my health (diet, exercises, etc)?
12 Have I been just in all my dealings?
13. Did I backbite or slander anyone?
14. What acts of sadaqah did I perform?
15. Was I safeguard my eyes from the evil influences of Shaitan?
16. What have I read to improve my understanding of Islam?
17. Did I save a portion of my wealth?
18. Did I fulfil all my promises?
19. Did I make tawbah (seek Allah's forgiveness)?
20. Did I implement what I read and said?
21. Did I perform my work with proficiency?
22. Did I reflect on my accountability to Allah on the Day of Judgement?
23. Am I satisfied with the way I spent the day?

'Umar ibn al-Khattab, in one of his famous sayings said "Judge yourselves before you are judged, evaluate yourselves before you are evaluated and be ready for the greatest investigation (the Day of Judgement)"
"The World is three days: As for yesterday, it has vanished, along with all that was in it. As for tomorrow, you may never see it. As for today, it is yours, so work in it." (Hassan al-Basri)
