A5 Muhasabah Journal - Hardback

We should identify our sins on a consistent basis and repent sincerely to Allah, the Most Forgiving. We must hold ourselves accountable of what we do in this Dunya to prepare for the Ākhirah (Hereafter).

Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “Hold yourselves accountable before you are held accountable and evaluate yourselves before you are evaluated, for the Reckoning will be easier upon you tomorrow if you hold yourselves accountable today.” We should identify when we are falling short. We should identify how we spend our time.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Take advantage of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your illness, your riches before your poverty, your free time before your work, and your life before your death.”

This journal acts as your support in your journey of muhāsabah (self accountability). Use every page wisely and effectively feesabīlillah.

وَلَا تَكُوْنُوْا كَالَّذِيْنَ نَسُوا اللّٰهَ فَأَنْسىٰهُمْ أَنْفُسَهُمْ أُولٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَ

“And do not be like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves. It is they who are defiantly disobedient” (59:19).
