● "Verily a man may carry out the actions of the people of Paradise for a long period of time, but end his life with the actions of the people of the Hellfire."

● "Do not be amazed by [the good actions of] anyone until you see his end, for verily one may perform good actions for a period of his life that if he were to die during that time he would enter Paradise, but he subsequently changes and then commits evil actions."

✦⋆· "If you want Allah to protect you from an evil final outcome [to your life], then know that whatever good that comes is from Allah's grace and divine succour, and whatever bad that comes, know that Allah has delayed it for you and you have already been given respite for it, so be aware of Allah's clemency and pardon for you."

● "Anything which can be counted is finite and will come to an end."

● "An Angel announces daily: 'Birth of more human beings means so many more will die, collection of more wealth means much more will be destroyed, construction of more buildings means so many more ruins will come".

● "Everyone has an end, it may be pleasant or sorrowful."

● "In this world, man is a target of death,

An easy prey to calamities,

Here every morsel and every draught is liable to choke one,

Here one never receives a favour until he loses another instead,

Here every additional day in one's life is a day reduced from the total span of his existence.

When death is the natural outcome of life, how can we expect immortality?"

✦⋆· said to some people, "If you want a good final outcome to your actions and for your soul to be taken while you are in the best of actions then observe the rights of Allah, do not use His bounties to disobey Him, do not allow the fact that Allah is clement with you to delude you [into negligence], and respect and honour everyone whom we praise or those who embrace our love."
