The Prayer of the Two Eids — Hadith 1484

achment from this world, which those before you who inhabited it could not hold onto, and which will not remain for anyone after you. Your path in this world is the same as those who have passed before you. Do you not see that it has already ended, that it has given signs of its impending disappearance, that its known blessings have turned strange, and that it has turned its back and is departing? "
"This world has warned of its end, and its residents are pushed toward death. What was once sweet has turned bitter, and what was once clear has become murky. Nothing remains of it except a remnant, like the remnants left in a container, a mouthful to quench the thirst of the parched, but it does not satisfy them. "
"So, O’ servants of Allah (swt), prepare to depart from this abode. It is destined for its inhabitants to pass away, it denies them the comforts of life, and it humiliates them with death. No living soul has hope for permanence, and no soul has an escape from death. "
"Do not let long hopes overpower you, and do not let the passage of time deceive you. Do not be deceived by hopes in this world. Worship Allah (swt) during your lifetime. By Allah (swt), even if you were to wail like a lost and grieving mother, call out to Allah (swt) as if from the depths of your soul, weep like monks devoted to solitude, give up your wealth and children seeking closeness to Him, striving for a high rank in His sight or the forgiveness of a sin noted by His scribes and preserved by His messengers, all this would be small in what I hope for you from His reward and what I fear for you from His painful punishment. "
"By Allah (swt), even if your hearts melted and your eyes wept from yearning for Him and fear of Him, even if you lived in this world as long as it remains, your actions would not be enough to earn His Paradise or His mercy, but by His mercy, you are shown mercy, and by His guidance, you are guided, and by them, you reach His Paradise
