وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ إِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ فَلاَ تَنْتَظِرِ الصَّبَاحَ وَإِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ فَلاَ تَنْتَظِرِ الْمَسَاءَ وَخُذْ مِنْ صِحَّتِكَ لِمَرَضِكَ وَمِنْ حَيَاتِكَ لِمَوْتِكَ

"The likeliness of this dunya compared to the akhira is that of anyone of you dipping his finger in the sea: let him see what he brings forth." -Ibn Majah
We see that this dunya is nothing. Islam frees the believer from this worldly life. We are living for the real life.
We are to live in this world as strangers, or wayfarers. This dunya isn't our home. Our home is Jannah, so let us be homesick for the eternal abode.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. May it be of benefit to the strangers of this dunya. And may we be united in the eternal lands, separated from us only by death.
Farewell, and may Allah bless you all!
