"o people!Fear Allah and do everything in anticipation of death,and try to attain everlasting blessings in place of transitory and perishable wealth,power and pleasures of this world Be prepare for a fast passage because here you are destined to stay for a short time.Always be ready for death because you ae living under its shadow.Be wise like the people who have heard the message of Allah and have taken a warning from it. Beware that this world is not your eternal abode.You will have to leave it for the Hereafter.Allah,Glory be to himhas not created you without a purpose and has not left you without duties,obligations and responsibilities.There is no barrier between you and Paradise or Hell but that of death,which everyone will have to cross.Life which is being shortened by every tick of a second,is like a building which is being undermined,and may fall down any moment.Human being,whom each turn of night and day is driving towards his end,is destined to reach there soon.Death which approaches everybody with certain and steady pace and which may either brings success or failure for the Hereafter deserves to be warmly welcomed.You must remember to gather from this life such harvest as be of use and help to you in the Hereafter. Every human being should fear the Almighty Allah;should train his mind for virtuous and honourable ideas and sincere and just deeds;should repend for his sins and vices;and should keep his desires,longing and impulses under control,because approach of death is so incomprehensible,so mysterious,so insiduous and so unobserved that it is never realised or felt because inordinate ambitions and desires often cheat and make one go astray and because Satan is always watching for opportunities to enslave you,is trying to depict sins and vices with beauty and charm to entrap you with them,and is constantly endevouring to make you give up the desire of sober thinking and repentence with bright hopes till death comes upon you suddenly at a time when you were expecting it the lease. I pity negligent and unmindful people,because on the Day of Judgement their deeds will act as proof against their ill intention and evil deeds,and lead them to Hell.I pray to Allah to make me among the persons whom his bounties have not made proud and arrogant,whose deeds and accomplishments have not kept them away from obedience to Him,and whom death will no bring sorrows and shame,repentance and regret. _::from Amirul Mukminin Ali ibn Abi Thalib(Leader of the Believers)the Undefeated commander in Chief of East and West )
