Do not be like that deceived fools who are joyous because each day their wealth increases while their life shortens. What good is an increase in wealth when life grows ever shorter? Therefore be joyous only for an increase in knowledge or in good works, for they are your two companions who will accompany you in your grave when your family, wealth, children and friends stay behind.” Imam Al Ghazali (May Allah have mercy on him) wrote this in his book: ‘The Beginning of Guidance’ http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?HD=1&ID=16&CATE=30 “Each of your breaths is a priceless jewel, since each of them is irreplaceable and, once gone, can never be retrieved.
