0:00 Allah the Almighty says:
0:02 Every soul shall taste death.
0:09 “Every soul will taste of death. And ye will be paid on the Day of Resurrection only that which ye have fairly earned. Whoso is removed from the Fire and is made to enter paradise, he indeed is triumphant. The life of this world is but comfort of illusion.” (3:185)
0:16 “Every soul will taste of death. And ye will be paid on the Day of Resurrection only that which ye have fairly earned. Whoso is removed from the Fire and is made to enter paradise, he indeed is triumphant. The life of this world is but comfort of illusion.” (3:185)
0:25 And the life of this world is nothing but an enjoyment of delusion.
0:32 'Abd al-Wahid Ibn Safwan said:
0:35 We were with al-Hasan at a funeral,
0:38 and he said:
0:40 "May Allah have mercy on a person who works for a day such as this."
0:44 "Today, you are capable of what these brothers of yours, the people of the graves, are no longer capable of."
0:52 "So, seize the opportunity of your health and your free time,"
0:55 "before the day of terror and reckoning."
0:58 Al-Sa'di, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
1:01 "This noble verse"
1:03 "contains an ascetic exhortation regarding this world, due to its transience and lack of permanence,"
1:08 "and that it is an enjoyment of delusion."
1:11 "It tempts with its glitter, deceives with its vanity, and beguiles with its charms."
1:16 "Then, it is something that passes away, and one must depart from it toward the abode of permanence,"
1:22 "where souls shall be recompensed for whatever they did in this abode, whether it was good or evil."
