Peak of Eloquence Nahjul Balagha By Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib - English Translation - Sermon 202

Transience of this World, the Importance of Collecting
Provisions for the Next Life

O people! Certainly this world is a passage while the next is a
place of permanent abode. So, take from the passage (all that you can) for
the permanent abode. Do not tear away your curtain before the One Who
is aware of your secrets. Take your hearts away from this world before
your bodies exit out of it. Herein, you have been put on trial, and you
have been created for the other world. When a man dies, people ask what
(property) he has left, while the angels ask what (good actions) he has
sent forward [to his Hereafter]. May Allah bless you; send forward
something; it will be a loan for you. Do not leave everything behind, for
that will be a burden on you.
