Precious Fruits
What is the Secret of Your Abstinence from the World?
It was said to Al-Hasan al-Basri: What is the secret of your abstinence from the world? He said: I knew that my provision would not be taken by anyone other than me, so my heart was at ease with it, and I knew that my deeds would not be done by anyone other than me, so I busied myself with them, and I knew that God was watching me, so I was ashamed to meet Him in disobedience, and I knew that death was waiting for me, so I prepared provisions to meet God.
May God send blessings upon our master Muhammad and upon all his family and companions.
Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you
