Benefits of Certainty in the Hereafter

Sometimes we believe in things out of habit or without much thought, rather than out of strong conviction and certainty. Strong belief and certainty in Allah’s promise of the Day of Judgement, Paradise and Hellfire and what waits for us there solidifies and strengthens our eman and is a major cause of keeping us steadfast upon our deen. Take the time every day to remind yourself of the next life and that it will certainly come, just as certain you are of the sun rising tomorrow.

‎ما أيقن عبد بالجنة حق يقينها ، إلا خشع ووجل وذل واستقام واقتصر حتى يأتيه الموت

“The servant does not truly believe in Paradise with full certainty except that he becomes (full of) humility, fear and humbleness. He will be steadfast (upon Islam) until death comes to him.”

— Hasan Al-Basri

(Ibn Abi Ad-Dunya)
