Pearl of Wisdom
with regards to the creation of the human in the womb said, 'When four months are completed, Allah sends two creative angels...., and they ask, ?O Lord, shall it be wretched or prosperous?' Again, they are commanded, and they then ask, ?O Lord, what is its due date of death, its sustenance, and all other matters relating to its state [and he listed some of them]-?' And they then go about writing a covenant between his eyes.'
Imam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir [as] al-Kafi, v. 6, p. 13, no. 3

Letter 49 A letter to Mu'awiya.
This vicious world will try to turn a man away from religion and from having faith in the Hereafter. And when a worldly-minded person grasp a little of it, it always opens before him vistas of false hopes, ambitions, temptations and greed, so that he is never satisfied with what he has grabbed and will always covet for more. The result often is that he loses what he has already amassed and his plans do not work out. If you take a lesson from the past then you can guard your future very well.
