"He who knows that death is certain is satisfied with a little."

[Bint 'Abdil-'Azeez]

“I was told that `Umar bin `Abdil-`Azeez wrote to the Syrian army as follows: ‘As-salaamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullaah. Now then, whoever contemplates death frequently speaks little, while he who knows that death is certain is satisfied with a little. Farewell.’”

as salaamu alaykum

jazakallah khayr

This should be written in gold. If only we could all apply this and if only the rulers could be like Umar ibn abdul aziz rahimahullah.

JazakiAllahu khairan. Death is the only certainty in life, and yet we do not prepare for it as much as we should.

[And I agree, beautiful blog, Masha'Allah.]
