Imam Ali (as): “May Allah have mercy on the man who knows that his breaths are but his steps towards his end, so he hastens to perform good deeds and cuts short his high hopes.”
Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 5214
It is narrated that Fatima Al-Zahra (a) used to say:
There are 3 things that are beloved to me in this world:
1. Reciting the Book of Allah
2. Looking at the face of the messenger of Allah (s).
3. Spending in the way of Allah.
May Allah make these 3 beloved to us all.
