MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS TO MANKIND
“ The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, took hold of my shoulder and said, "Be in the worldly life like a stranger or a wayfarer, and count yourself among the inhabitants of the grave (the dead)." Ibn-'Umar then added, "If you live till the morning, do not expect the evening and if you live till the evening, do not expect the morning. Take advantage of your good health before you fall ill and of your life before you die; for you do not know, bondsman of God, what your state will be tomorrow (1)." Footnotes: (1) i.e. whether you would be among 'the dead' or 'the living'. ”
