Shaykh Ibn Uthaymīn رحمه الله said:
…how can we prefer the fading over the everlasting?! By Allāh, that’s ignorance from us and heedlessness. How can we value this life over the next even though we see it disappear without returning – so if we do not take the opportunity to fill our lives with righteous actions, we will lose out on this life and the next.
