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

مَنْ أيْقَنَ أنّهُ يُفارِقُ الأحبابَ، ويَسكُنُ التُّرابَ، ويُواجِهُ الحِسابَ، ويَسْتَغْنِي عَمّا خَلَّفَ، ويَفْتَقِرُ إلى‏ ما قَدَّمَ، كانَ حَرِيّاً بِقِصَرِ الأملِ وطُولِ العَملِ.

'A man who is sure about leaving his loved ones, dwelling under the earth, facing the final Account, and that he will be needless of what he leaves behind, and needy of what he has sent forth [for the Hereafter] deserves to shorten his expectation and lengthen his action.'
