*An Imaam was driving home one night with his wife and two daughters in the car.* It was dark, raining and intensely so and the Imaam could hardly see past his headlights.
On the way he had to drive over a huge bridge. There were posted signs
"DO NOT PICK UP HITCH-HIKERS."
By the base of the bridge, there was an institution for the criminally insane and sometimes people would escape from it and try to catch a ride.
On this night, as the Imaam slowly approached the bridge, a man suddenly appeared in the headlights.
He was soaked, standing in the middle of the road, frantically waving his shirt over his head and screaming.
The Imaam's wife cautioned her husband,
"Oh please don't stop, try to drive around him!"
But the car was too close, the man was unavoidable, except to stop or drive over him.
As soon as the Imaam stoped, the man slapped his hand down on the hood of the car and continued screaming, at the top of his lungs, unabated.
The Imaam felt something in his spirit, looked over to his wife and told her to lock the door after him and to not unlock it until he had returned.
His family understandably perturbed and crying, pleaded with him not to get out of the car.
He opened the door and stepped outside... He was immediately soaked from the rain.
As he approached the man, all of a sudden he could make out what the man was screaming,
"THE BRIDGE IS OUT! THE BRIDGE IS OUT! A BUS JUST WENT OVER INTO THE WATER!!!"
As these words registered in the imaam's mind, he looked back in the car at his wife and two daughters. He wrapped his arm around the man and wept in gratitude.
The Imaam stood there with the man for the next half-hour in the middle of the road, waving his jacket above his head screaming to warn other commuters.
"STOP!!!!! THE BRIDGE IS OUT! THE BRIDGE IS OUT!"
For a lost and a dying world,
"THE BRIDGE IS OUT!"
Where are the men and the women who will stand in the middle of the road and forbid people, not to perish?
HELL HAS OPENED IT'S MOUTH WIDE AND SADLY MANY ARE SPEEDING INTO IT.
Where are those who will stand in the gap, on the streets, the highways and the byways to forbid multitudes with the word of Allah, to warn others from going to such a horrible place?
Remember Almighty Allah( Glorified and Exalted Be He ) Loves us all and wants nothing, absolutely nothing but that we be saved ....
*THE BRIDGE IS OUT*
...And Time is Running Out

You will DIE at your appointed time,but the CHOICE IS YOURS,if you lived a life of good and obedience to Allah,an obedient MUSLIM,you perform your SALAH,and stayed away from HARAM AND SHIRK,then the Prophet ï·º said ''' AT THE TIME OF DEATH,WHEN THE ANGEL OF DEATH COMES TO YOU,HE WILL GIVE YOU HIS SALAAM WITH SMILES ON HIS FACE '
-)#SubhaanaAllah :
We like to taste a little of the luxuries of this world and it's very sweet. Then we want to taste little more and then more. Meanwhile, we get lost into it and we forget about our time, we forget about our #Death and we forget about our #Grave."
