Pearl of Wisdom

Attend to the people who are about to die and dictate to them [the phrase]: La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah), and give them glad tidings of Heaven, for even the most forbearant of men and women become perplexed at that instant, and Satan comes as close as he can get to the children of Adam in that state. By He who owns my soul! Seeing the angel of Death is more severe than being hit one thousand times by a sword. By He who owns my soul! The soul of a servant will not exit from the world until every vein in him feels pain.'

Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa]
Kanz al-'Ummal, no. 42158

Sermon 235 About collecting provision for the next world while in this world and performing good acts before death

Perform (good) acts while you are still in the vastness of life, the books are open (for recording of actions), repentance is allowed, the runner away (from Allah) is being called and the sinner is being given hope (of forgiveness) before the (light of) action is put off, time expires, life ends, the door for repentance is closed and angels ascend to the sky.

Therefore a man should derive benefit from himself for himself, from the living for the dead, from the mortal, for the lasting and from the departer for the stayer. A man should fear Allah while he is given age to live upto his death, and is allowed time to act. A man should control his self by the rein and hold it with its bridle, thus by the rein he should prevent it from disobedience towards Allah, and by the bridle he should lead it towards obedience to Allah.
