In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Assalaamu alaykum
Dear Friends
I pray that you are well.
'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) used to fear two things: the long hope, and following desires. He said: “Long hope makes (you) forget all about the Hereafter, and following desires hinders (you) from the way of Truth (i.e. Islamic monotheism, good deeds, obedience, etc.)”
He used to say: “Verily, this world has run away and the Hereafter is coming forward (to us) very fast. And there are sons for each one of them, so be of the sons of the Hereafter [i.e. loving the Hereafter and do good deeds that Allah has enjoined so that He may admit you to Paradise], and do not be of sons of this world (i.e. who love this world and who live their lives committing sins, disobedience, etc.) for in this world there are deeds and no accounts but Tomorrow (Day of Account) there will be only account and no deeds (that could be done).”
May Allah forgive our sins and help us stay away from sins and enable us to do good deeds and worship Him with excellence. Ameen.
Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.
And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
