To avoid regret on the Day of Judgment, we must remember God, perform righteous deeds, and stay away from sins.
In the Holy Quran, there are numerous warnings about regret and remorse on the Day of Judgment. For instance, in Surah Al-Mu'minun, verses 99 to 100, it states that when individuals confront the truth on that day, they wish they had performed righteous deeds in the world. Therefore, to avoid regret on that day, it is essential to always remember God and perform good deeds. In Surah Al-Imran, verse 185, it is mentioned that every soul will taste death and ultimately will return to God. This belief should guide us in our daily lives to seek actions that please Allah. Additionally, in Surah Fatir, verse 37, Allah points out that individuals will wish they had been given another chance to live their lives properly and avoid the torment they deserve. This indicates that to stay away from regret on the Day of Judgment, we must act from today, avoid sins, and fill our days with worship and righteousness. Moreover, it is important to emphasize the realities of death and resurrection, reminding ourselves that this worldly life is temporary, and we must take care of our afterlife.
Until when death comes to one of them, he says, 'My Lord, send me back.'
Every soul will taste death. And you will only be given your full compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has certainly succeeded. And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion?
Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of truth, and not be like those who were given the Scripture before, and a long period passed over them, so their hearts hardened? And many of them were defiantly disobedient.
One day, a man named Ali was pondering about his life. He always mentioned that he wanted to avoid regret on the Day of Judgment. One day, he decided to fill his days with good deeds and worship. Therefore, he began helping others and stopped thinking only of himself. Days passed, and he felt a lot of happiness. After a while, he remembered that his choices had brought him peace and contentment, and he sincerely thanked God.
