Hawzah News Agency – The commander of the faithful, Imam Ali peace be upon him says:

أنتُم طُرَداءُ المَوتِ، إن أقَمتُم لَهُ أخَذَكُم، وإن فَرَرتُم مِنهُ أدرَكَكُم، وهُو ألزَمُ لَكُم مِن ظِلِّكُم، المَوتُ مَعقودٌ بنَواصيكُم.

'You are running away from death. If you resist it, it will take you, and if you run from it, it will catch you. It is more stuck to you than your own shadow. Death is attached to your forelocks.'
