Before You Regret

by Harun Yahya

Those people who do not believe in Allaah ofter feel regret throughout their lives, commonly using phrases like "I wish I had not done this...", "I wish I had never said this...", and so on. More importantly, they are subject to a much greater regret in the Hereafter. Those who lived a life apart from religion in this world will regret every moment of their lives. They were warned before and invited to the straight path. They had enough time to contemplate and embrace the right way. Yet they did not listen when they were warned, ignoring the Hereafter as if they would never die. Then in the Hereafter, they will have no chance to get back to this world and correct their errors. The aim of this book is to warn people against a day when they will regret, saying "had we only understood...", "had we only not rejected the signs of our Lord...", "had we only followed those who brought us the message...", etc., and to invite them to live for Allaah while they still have the chance to correct their wrongs.

This was my first book of Harum Yahya, very informative and interesting book to read....

[Uzma · Rating 4 out of 5]

Though the book addresses the regrets that the disbelievers will have on the Judgment Day, I believe this is a reminder for everyone; Muslim and non-Muslim. It is wiser to submit to the commands of the Lord of all worlds than being tormented by His punishment in this world and the hereafter.

Using Qur'anic ayaat [verses] as the basis, Harun Yahya depicts scenes of the hereafter. He reminds the reader that his time on this earth is limited. He should not merely concern himself with accumulating the jewels of this world or running after the pomp and glitter of this life, it is the hereafter that should occupy our minds. Remembering one's death and the accountability in the hereafter keeps one in-check.

May we be called back and raised without regrets, may He be pleased with us and we be with Him, aameen.

We human are very ungrateful. When Allah gives us a reminder, we tend to be blind by the worldly matters. And when it time of death comes to us, no matter how regret we felt it is already too late. This book focus on,we human must repent before it is too late.
