This is one thing which should be in every one’s room on the wall or in hearts.
Allah won't ask
Allah won’t ask what kind of car you drove, but will ask how many people you drove who didn’t have transportation
Allah won’t ask what your highest salary was, but will ask if you compromised your character or morals to obtain that salary
Allah won’t ask the square footage of your house, but will ask how many people you welcomed into your home
Allah won’t ask about the fancy clothes you had in your closet, but will ask how many of those clothes helped the needy
Allah won’t ask about your social status, but will ask what kind of class you displayed
Allah won’t ask how many material possessions you had, but will ask if they dictated your life
Allah won’t ask how much overtime you worked, but will ask if you worked overtime for your family and loved ones
Allah won’t ask how many promotions you received, but will ask how you promoted others
Allah won’t ask what your job title was, but will ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability
Allah won’t ask what you did to help yourself, but will ask what you did to help others
Allah won’t ask how many friends you had, but will ask how many people to whom you were a true friend
Allah won’t ask what you did to protect your rights, but will ask what you did to protect the rights of others
Allah won’t ask in what neighborhood you lived, but will ask how you treated your neighbors
Allah won’t ask about the color of your skin, but will ask about the content of your character
Allah won’t ask how many times your deeds matched your words, but will ask how many times they didn’t. “Many a small deed becomes bigger because of the intention, and many a big deed becomes smaller because of the intention”
And by the way, what kind of Allah is that who has to ask questions? Shouldn’t s/he already know the answers?
The way I understand it that s/he will be sitting with a stick in hand directing sinners in one direction, and people like me in the other. Simple as that.

First thing NY AHMADI you should be grateful, that the creator ALLAH (swt) give you life when you were nothing, that he will give you death when you are alive and that he will bring you alive agian when you are dead ( to account you for your deeds). Yes ALLAh (swt) knows EVERYTHING, but we do not.And it is not he/she because ALLAH(swt) tells us that he is not like any creation.

SubhanAllah...its scary sometimes when you think about how easily you can get caught up in this fragile world. With our feet firm on solid ground and our eyes scanning seeming endless horizons, we forget about how temporary..how meaningless this world really is.
Let us make dua, that before Allah swt takes us from this world, may He give us, each and every one of us, the tawfeeq and hidayah to send forth for that which will serve us..in the akhirah...and not that which will destroy us.
Ameen.
