Listen to this very carefully
Amr (RA) narrates that Prophet (SAW) one day delivered
a sermon saying: Listen carefully! The world and its
things are temporary commodity (and as such have no
worth and value), shared and consumed by both the good
and the evil people alike! Indeed, the Hereafter is
truly a reality and will arrive at its appointed time
in which Judgement will be made by a Powerful King.
Listen carefully! Indeed all good, in all its
varieties, is in Paradise! Indeed all evil, in all its
varieties, is in the Fire. Understand it well;
whatever you do, do it being fearful of Allah; and
understand that you will be presented (in front of
Allah) with you actions. Whosoever does an atom's
worth of good, he will see it, and whosoever does an
atom's worth of evil, he will see it! Source: Musnad
Sha'fi.
The cry of the grave
Hadrat Abu Huraira (RA) is reported to have said that
once he, in the company of the Holy Prophet (SAW),
joined a funeral. When the Holy Prophet (SAW) reached
the graveyard, he went to a grave and told that there
was not a single day that the grave did not make the
clear announcement. "Oh, the offspring of Adam! you
have forgotten me, I am the place of solitude and I am
the abode of loneliness, I am a lodging of much
straitened provided the Almighty expands me in the
case of a person whom He holds in esteem. After that
the Holy Prophet (SAW) said: The grave is either one
of the gardens of Paradise or one of the pits of hell.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom
(i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue
with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone
astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in
His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites
(men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I
am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if
Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of
camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever
calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who
follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
