Requital (COMPLETED)

Chapter 22- Enveloped in darkness.

Chapter 22

Years are passing by, days are whizzing by,
Yet I still disobey the Great Being MOST HIGH.

How astonishing am I?
I know I cannot live forever,
But still for the glitter and glamour of this world I am eager.

Despite my sins making my heart so filthy,
I still don't feel so guilty!

With knowledge of the hereafter still for the worldly temptations I fall,
Not realising that in the aakhirah it will not benefit me at all.

Signs of the last day are becoming evident,
And drawing near is the day when every human  infront of their Lord will be present.

My heart should fear the day the earth will shake,
The day the firm mountains will crumble and break.

When the mountains will be scattered dust and fly,
When the oceans will turn to fire and the the colour of the sky will change, Those deemed to be low,will be high.

A tense atmosphere enveloped the three siblings, as they sat in the living room.

Suhaib's hands were clenched into fists, he gritted his teeth as he looked down at the carpeted floor.
