~ Ibn Al-Jawzi's [Rahimahullah] Advice to His Son ~
'Know dear son, that Days are but Hours..and Hours are but Breaths...!
and every Soul is a Container... hence ? let not any breath pass without any benefit !
such as on the Day of Judgement you find an empty container and feel regret...{!}
Be aware of every hour and how it passes, and only spend it in the Best possible way...
Do not neglect yourself, but render it accustomed to the noblest and best of actions....
and send to your GRAVE that which will please you when you arrive to it {!}
{'IN SHAA ALLAH' ~ 'AAMEEN'}
He (Allâh) will say ---"What number of years did you stay on earth ?"
They will say---"We stayed a day or part of a day. Ask of those who keep account."
He (Allâh) will say--- "You stayed not but a little, if you had only known,
Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose) ?
and that you would not be brought back to Us ? "
