Pearl of Wisdom

'Do not be like he who...exhorts extensively but does not take lesson himself, as he is arrogant in his speech and little in Success (tawfiq) deeds, he challenges for what is to perish, and allows to pass what is eternal, he sees benefits as a loss, and losses as beneficial.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]
Nahj al-Balagha, Saying 150 .

Sermon 202 Transience of this world, and importance of collecting provisions for the next life.

O' people, certainly this world is a passage while the next world is a place of permanent abode. So, take from the passage (all that you can) for the permanent abode. Do not tear away your curtain before Him Who is aware of your secrets. Take away from this world your hearts before your bodies go out of it, because herein you have been put on trial, and you have been created for the other world. When a man dies people ask what (property) he has left while the angels ask what (good actions) he has sent forward. May Allah bless you; send forward something, it will be a loan for you, and do not leave everything behind, for that would be a burden on you.
