Shaykh Muhammad bin Sālih
al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allāh have mercy upon him) mentioned,
“And it is a must upon a person
that he remembers his state and his ending in this life, this ending is not the
final conclusion, rather behind it is a greater goal and objective than the
life of this world, the Hereafter. So, a person must constantly remember death,
not because he will be departing and separating for his loved ones and from
those things that he has become accustomed to, as this is short sightedness,
but rather due to him departing from (doing) righteous deeds and striving for
the Hereafter. When he reflects in this manner, he prepares and increases with
deeds of the Hereafter.”
