While you’re sleeping, scrolling, or binge-watching shows at 2 AM, Allah ﷻ is in the lowest heaven waiting for you. Calling out to anyone who will wake up and talk to Him. This is the hour when duas are answered, sins are forgiven, and hearts are transformed. And you’re missing it.
Shaytan himself admitted it. The Prophet ﷺ confirmed it. When you recite Ayatul Kursi before sleeping, Allah ﷻ assigns an angel to guard you. All night. Shaytan can’t come near you until dawn. When it’s recited in a home, shaytan runs away from that house. The scholars say: Ayatul Kursi is never recited in a house except that shaytan leaves. This isn’t superstition. This is authentic hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari. The greatest verse in the Quran doubles as your fortress. Are you using it?
You say “SubhanAllah” once. Takes one second. Allah ﷻ plants a tree for you in Paradise. Real tree. With roots of rubies. Trunk of gold. Shade that stretches for miles. Fruits sweeter than honey. You say it 100 times today? That’s 100 trees. Your own forest. In Jannah. The Prophet ﷺ met Prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام on Mi’raj and he said: “Tell your Ummah that Paradise has good soil and sweet water, but it’s barren. Its plantation is SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar.” You can plant an entire garden while sitting on your couch. In the time it takes to watch one video, you can plant hundreds of trees in Paradise. Are you planting?
Three words. “Astaghfirullah”—I seek Allah’s forgiveness. The Prophet ﷺ, guaranteed Paradise, sinless, still said it 70-100 times every single day. You? You say it once when you sin badly, then forget about it. But Allah promises in the Quran: whoever makes istighfar constantly will have relief from every distress, a way out of every difficulty, and sustenance from sources they never imagined. Your anxiety? Gone. Your financial struggles? Solved. Your closed doors? Opened. All through three words you’re too “busy” to say.
After Judgment Day comes the Sirat—a bridge over Hell so thin it’s thinner than hair, sharper than a sword. Everyone must cross it to reach Paradise. Some will cross like lightning—in the blink of an eye. Others like wind, like horses running. Some will walk. Some will crawl on their knees. And some will fall straight into the Fire below. What determines your speed? Your deeds—especially your Salah. Those who prayed on time, with focus, with love for Allah—they’ll fly across. You who rushed your prayers? Who skipped them? Who prayed while distracted? You’ll be crawling. If you make it at all.
Allah didn’t just warn us about Dajjal—He gave us Surah Al-Kahf as spiritual armor. Four stories addressing four trials: faith, wealth, knowledge, and power. Master these lessons and you’ll recognize his deception.
