Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymīn رَحِمَهُ اللهُ said:
“By Allāh, no one is devoted to
Allāh in truth and sincerity, and performs the actions of the People of Paradise except
that Allāh will never forsake him.”

حَتَّىٰ إِذَا مَا جَاءُوهَا شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِمْ
سَمْعُهُمْ وَأَبْصَارُهُمْ وَجُلُودُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ.
وَقَالُوا لِجُلُودِهِمْ لِمَ شَهِدتُّمْ
عَلَيْنَا ۖ قَالُوا أَنطَقَنَا اللَّهُ الَّذِي أَنطَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ خَلَقَكُمْ
أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ.
وَمَا كُنتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَن
يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلَا أَبْصَارُكُمْ وَلَا جُلُودُكُمْ وَلَٰكِن ظَنَنتُمْ
أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَعْلَمُ كَثِيرًا مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ.
وَذَٰلِكُمْ ظَنُّكُمُ الَّذِي
ظَنَنتُم بِرَبِّكُمْ أَرْدَاكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُم مِّنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ.
20. Till, when they reach it (Hell-fire), their hearing (ears)
and their eyes, and their skins will testify against them as to what they used
to do.
21. And they will say to their skins, “Why do you testify
against us?” They will say: “Allāh has caused us to
speak as He causes all things to speak, and He created you the first time, and
to Him you are made to return.”
22. And you
have not been hiding yourselves (in the world), lest you ears, your eyes, and
your skins should testify against you; but you thought that Allāh knew not much
of what you were doing.
23. And that
thought of yours which you thought about your Lord, has brought you to
destruction; and you have become (this Day) of those utterly lost!

“And do not
forget your share of this world.” (Soorah al-Qassas ayah 77)
‘Alee رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ said:
“Do not forget
your health, your strength, your youth and your wealth in using them to seek
the Hereafter (Paradise).”
Mujaahid and
Ibn Zayd said:
“Do not
abandon and leave off working (acts of obedience) in this life for the
Hereafter until you are saved from the punishment; because in reality a person’s
share from this world is that he works for the Hereafter (Paradise).”

Shaykh Fawzaan stated:
“Clear distinction is not
attained except when trials and tribulations occur, the true believers are the firm and steadfast while the
deceptive hypocrites stumble.

Sa’īd Al-Khudri رضي الله عنه reported:
The Prophet ﷺ
said, “The life of the world is sweet and green. Allāh makes you generations succeeding one another so that He may try you
in respect of your actions. So beware of the beguilements of the world and
those of women. The first trial of Banu Isrāel was through women.” [Muslim]
Riyād-us-Sāliheen
vol. 1, p. 90, Darussalam
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله
stated:
“So whoever loves that Allāh would
replace his bad deeds with good deeds, then he should exchange the bad
treatment that he receives from others with kindness. And whoever knows that
sins and bad deeds are innate to mankind, then he would not dwell on the bad
treatment that he receives from others.”

Ibn al-Arath رضي الله عنه took me by my hand and said:
“Seek nearness to Allāh with
whatever you are able, and you cannot draw nearer to Allāh with anything more
beloved to Him than His Speech (the Qur’ān).”
