Companionship of the Sultan

Ibn Qutaybah says in his book Uyun al-Akhbar, and I read in a book of India: "The companionship of the Sultan, despite their glory and wealth, is a great risk, and it is only likened to a rugged mountain with good fruits and wild beasts. Climbing it is difficult and staying in it is more difficult. The good of the Sultan and the evil of the Sultan are not equal, because the good of the Sultan does not exceed the increase in the situation, and the evil of the Sultan may remove the situation and destroy the souls that seek more. There is no good in something whose safety is wealth and status, and in whose misfortune is disaster and destruction."

It is incumbent upon the one who knows that death is his destination

Al-Hasan Al-Basri, may God have mercy on him, said: It is incumbent upon the one who knows that death is his destination, the Resurrection is his appointment, and standing before the Almighty is his scene, to lengthen his regret in this world and his desire for good deeds.

Precious Fruits - Resolving Tasks Immediately

Precious Fruits

Resolving Tasks Immediately

Among the beneficial things is resolving tasks immediately and freeing up time in the future, because if tasks are not resolved, the remaining previous tasks will accumulate on you, and subsequent tasks will be added to them, making their burden heavier. If you resolve everything in its time, you will approach future matters with strength of thought and strength of action.
