* Imam Ibn Khuzaima said:

واعلم أن مدة حياتك محدودة وانفاسك معدودة فكل نَفَسٍ ينقص به جزءمنك والعمر كله قصيروالباقي منه هواليسيروكل جز منه جوهرةٌ نفيسة لا عدل لها ولا خَلفَ منها فإن بهذه الحياة اليسيرة خلود الابد في النعيم أو العذاب الأليم.

“Know that the extent of your life is limited and each breath is short. Every breath shortens your life. Your whole life is brief and what remains of it is brief. Every part of your life is a precious gem that cannot be replaced. This life is indeed brief and eternal life is in only two outcomes: everlasting bliss or unending torment…”
(Ibn Qudama, al-Wasiyya, p.33 (Arabic) and p.24 (English, trans. A. Bewley, London: Turath Publications, 2008)
