Where is the fleeing and where is the staying, O Allah ‑azwj , except to You -azwj !’’ [7] Allah -azwj Says: Do not Forget your Death دَعَوَاتُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‏ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى‏ وَ لا تَنْسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيا أَيْ لَا تَنْسَ صِحَّتَكَ وَ قُوَّتَكَ وَ فَرَاغَكَ وَ شَبَابَكَ وَ نَشَاطَكَ وَ غِنَاكَ أَنْ تَطْلُبَ بِهِ الْآخِرَةَ (The book) ‘Dawaat’ of Al Rawandy – ‘Amir Al-Momineen -asws said regarding Words of the Exalted: and do not forget your share from the world, [28:77] : ‘I.e., do not forget your health , and your strength, and your free time, and your youth, and your activeness, and your riches in seeking the Hereafter with it’.

وَ قِيلَ لِزَيْنِ الْعَابِدِينَ ع مَا خَيْرُ مَا يَمُوتُ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ And it was said to Zayn Al-Abideen -asws , ‘What is the best of what the servant can be dying upon?’ قَالَ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ فَرَغَ مِنْ أَبْنِيَتِهِ وَ دُورِهِ وَ قُصُورِهِ He -asws said: ‘If he happens to be free from his buildings, and his houses, and his castles’.

قِيلَ وَ كَيْفَ ذَلِكَ It was said, ‘And how is that so?’ قَالَ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ تَائِباً وَ عَلَى الْخَيْرَاتِ مُقِيماً يَرِدُ عَلَى اللَّهِ حَبِيباً كَرِيماً. He -asws said: ‘ That he happens to be repentant from his sins, and staying upon the good deed, he will return to Allah -azwj as Beloved, Honoured ’’.

‘And Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘Whenever you go to your bed, then look at what has gone into your belly, and what you have earned in your day, and remember, you will be dying and that there is a Hereafter for you!’’ [9] Allah -azwj Considers the latest Status of a Believer: – لي، الأمالي للصدوق ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ مَنْ أَحْسَنَ فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمُرِهِ لَمْ يُؤَاخَذْ بِمَا مَضَى مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَ مَنْ أَسَاءَ فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمُرِهِ أَخَذَ بِالْأَوَّلِ وَ الْآخِرِ.
