Poem: Do not be proud of...




Do not be proud of branded clothes,
because the last clothes you’ll wear is the white shroud.

Do not be proud of that pimped-out car,
because the last vehicle you’ll ride on is your coffin.

Do not be proud of that luxurious and comfortable bed,
because the last bed you’ll rest upon is the ground.

Do not be proud of your lavish homes,
because the last home you’ll have is your grave.

Do not be proud of your status/position,
because the last status/position you’ll have is “Allmarhum”.

May Allah protect us from becoming those who are proud.

Amin.
