The Enduring Good Deeds

Yahya bin Muadh رَحِمَهُ ٱللَّٰهُ said:

Indeed, the intelligent person who has attained success is the one who has done three things:

1. He leaves the Dunyā (worldly life) before it leaves him.

Meaning: He detaches himself from worldly attachments and desires before they are taken away from him by death or circumstances.

2. He establishes his grave before he enters it.

Meaning: He prepares his legacy and does good deeds that will benefit him in the afterlife, before he actually enters his grave.

3. He pleases his Lord before he meets Him.

Meaning: He strives to please Allah and live a righteous life, before he meets Him on the Day of Judgment.

May Allah ﷻ forgive our sins and have mercy upon us all, aameen.
