Shaddad Ibn `Amr said:
“The Hereafter is a true promise
where a powerful king will judge between the people.
The life of this world is full of vanities
that are available for both the pious and the sinner.
There is no plea for him who hears and disobeys,
and no plea against him who hears and obeys.
Don’t take the life of this world as a valuable thing
because it spares none, and don’t reject it
because the Hereafter can be obtained
only through the life of this world.”
The Life of This World is a Transient Shade
