"The question is not whether you will leave this world or not, "
the question is, what will you leave behind you.
Will people ask ALLAH for your forgiveness,
or will they ask ALLAH to forgive them for knowing you."

Imaam Ibn Qayyim (rahimahu-Allaah) said:

“Regret for wasted time should be deep, for time passes quickly and it is difficult to make up what you have missed. Time for the worshiper is a time for worship and reciting awraad (adhkar), and for the devoted Muslim it is time for turning to Allaah عز و جل and focusing on Him سبحانه وتعالى with all his heart.

Time is the dearest thing to him and he would feel very sad if time passes without him doing what he is meant to do. If he misses time, he can never make it up, because a second time has its own duties. So if he misses time, there is no way he can bring it back.”

(Madaarij al-Saalikin, 3/49)

“O feet of patience, keep going, for what remains is only a little.

Remember the sweetness of worship, then the bitterness of striving will become easier for you.”

Knowledge is an ocean that has no coast." So if anyone thinks they know it all, then what they have is something besides knowledge.

Keep swimming! It requires energy, dedication, sacrifice and continuity together with sincerity to acquire knowledge. Without an effort one cannot attain knowledge.

Knowledge wipes the frost off our glass and allows us to see much clearer.

The cycle of knowledge should be to keep on learning, putting into practice and conveying to others.

Remembering an incident from many years ago. Seeing Abu Hafsa's incredible braille Quran and watching in awe as he moved his fingers across the pages while reciting. One of the most humbling and beautiful scenes ever, allahumma barik feeh.

The graves are full of people who thought that they would practice Islam when they became old. Old age is not promised to anyone.
