It was asked from Hazrat Ali (as): How should a
person take account of himself?
Hazrat Ali (as) replied:
When a person ends his day, then he should
turn towards himself and say ‘O self! This day that has passed will not
return. Allah (SWT) will ask you about how you wasted your day. He will
ask you about the actions you performed, whether you remembered Him and
praised Him? Whether you fulfilled a right of your fellow believer? Did
you remove a difficulty that befell upon a believer? Did you protect his
children in his absence? Did you safeguard his rights after his death?
Did you – on account of your position – prevent anyone from backbiting
your believing brother? Did you help any Muslim throughout the day?
