The Hereafter

Work for your life as though you will live forever, and work for the Hereafter as though you will die tomorrow.

رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :   اعمَلْ لِدُنياكَ كأنّكَ تَعيشُ أبداً ، واعمَلْ لآخرتِكَ كأنّكَ تَموتُ غَداً . تنبيه الخواطر : 2 / 234 .

 The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Work for your life as though you will live forever, and work for the Hereafter as though you will die tomorrow.' Tanbih al-Khawatir, v. 2, no. 234

رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :   مَن أصبَحَ وأمسى‏ والآخِرةُ أكبرُ هَمِّهِ جَعلَ اللَّهُ الغِنى‏ في قلبِهِ، وجَمَع لَه أمرَهُ، ولَم يَخرُج مِن الدُّنيا حتّى‏ يَستكمِلَ رزقَهُ . ومَن أصبحَ وأمسَى‏ والدُّنيا أكبرُ هَمِّهِ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ الفَقْرَ بينَ عينَيهِ، وشتَّتَ علَيهِ أمْرَه، ولَم يَنَلْ مِن الدُّنيا إلّا ما قُسِمَ لَهُ . بحار الأنوار : 77 / 151 / 104 .

 The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'He who makes the Hereafter his greatest concern when he wakes up and before he sleeps, Allah instills needlessness in his heart and mends his affairs for him; he will not depart from this life before having collected all his sustenance. But the one who makes this world his greatest concern in his life, Allah instils poverty between his eyes and disbands his affairs; he will not collect from this life more than what was allotted to him.' Bihar al-Anwar, v. 77, p. 151, no. 104
