On a day of Eid al-Fitr, after saying\nthe Eid\u2019s prayer, Amir al-Muminin (PBUH) addressed people:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cO! You Allah\u2019s\nservants, I advise you to fear Allah (SWT), (whose) blessings never ends and\nHis mercy never finishes, People can\u2019t be independent of Him and all the acts,\nwon\u2019t compensate his blessings. (The one) who encouraged (us) to be virtuous\nand taught us continence and forbade us from sins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(The one) who is\nendeared by perpetuity and survival, and disdained his creatures by death and\nnaught, although, death is the upshot of all the creatures and their clear\npath. The escape of people won\u2019t bother death, and when it arrives, it captures\nthe swinger; damages all pleasures; destroys all blessings and cuts all\njoyances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And Allah (SWT) destined doom for the\nuniverse and exiting it for its occupants, (but) most people tend to stay in it\nand regard its reclamation as great, (while) it\u2019s a sweet and fresh thing\npasses quickly for its seeker and deceives its tracer\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So -May Allah (SWT) provide you with\nHis blessings-, leave it with the best thing you have, and don\u2019t look for it\nexcept a little, as it is sufficient. Be satisfied with its little and let\nalone what swingers enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Disdain the world and don\u2019t make it\nyour home. I warn you of getting busy with its blessings and entertainments and\nfuns, since it results in deceive and neglecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Certainly, it will act as if it\ndoesn\u2019t know you, turns around, packs its luggage and leaves, and then the\nother world comes to us, approaches and announces its entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be aware that today is the time to get\nready, the competition would be at the other world, the end is the heaven and\nanyone who fails to reach the end, will go to the hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isn\u2019t there anyone to repent of his\nsins before his death arrives? Isn\u2019t there anyone to do something for himself\nbefore getting needful and wretched? May Allah (SWT) include us in the ones who\nfear Him and also hope for His gratuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today is the day which Allah (SWT) has\ncalled Eid and merited you for it; hence, recall Him so that He would recall\nyou and ask Him so that He would reply you and pay your Zakat, because it\u2019s\nyour Prophet\u2019s tradition and a divine obligatory act\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May Allah (SWT) immune us with virtue\nand make the other world better than this one for us\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
