Do your best and not waste in your duty to Allah.

Do your best and not waste in your duty to Allah. Allah has taught you His book and clarified to you His way that He may know those who are truthful and know the liars; so do good as Allah has done good to you, show enmity to His enemies, and strive hard in the way of Allah, such a striving as is due to Him. He has chosen you and named you Muslims [1] Qur'an, 50:29.

📌that he who would perish might perish by clear proof, and he who would live might live by clear proof, and there is no power save in Allah. Remember Allah too much and work for what is after today, for whoever repairs what is between him and Allah, Allah suffices him against what is between him and people that is because Allah judges on people and they do not judge on Him, and He has power on people and they do not have power on Him.

Allah is great, and there is no power save in Allah the Great.” [1] 4. His speech in al-Khayf The Prophet (a.s.) made a speech at al-Khayf in Mina saying, “May Allah make bloom a servant who listens to my saying and understands it, then he takes it to one who is more aware than him.

There are three things that are not affected in the heart of a faithful; the sincerity in acting for Allah the Almighty, the loyalty to the men of authority, and the keeping to congregation (of Muslims)…he, whose interest is the afterlife, Allah will reunite to him his affairs and make his richness in his heart, and the (bounties of) life will come to him unwillingly, and he, whose interest is this life , Allah will scatter his affairs and make his poverty between his eyes, and nothing from this life shall come to him except what has been predetermined for him.” [2] 5.

His speech on warning against this life The Prophet (a.s.) warned against the deceiving by this life and the following of desires. He said, “Surely, this life is pleasurful and sweet, and Allah has entrusted it to you and He sees how you act (in it); so beware of this life [1] Tareekh at-Tabari, vol. 2 p. 115. [2] I’jaz al-Qur'an, vol. 5 p. 255. and beware of women.

Let the fear of people not prevent one from saying the truth if he knows it.” The Prophet (a.s.) kept on making his speech until nothing remained from the sunlight except some redness on the fronds of palm-trees. Then, he said, “It has not remained from this life as to what had elapsed, except like what has remained from this day as to what had elapsed (from it).” [1] 6.
