A golden piece of advice....

Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA) , wrote this golden piece of advice to Salman al Farsi (RA) just days prior to assuming the seat of the Caliphate. He reminds Salman al Farsi (RA) of the reality of the Dunya (world) and how one must be careful not to fall in the temptations and traps of the world. He wrote... :

'' The World is like a snake, smooth and soft, but with a fatal poison. Turn away from its attractions; what you will take with you of it is very little. Do not be disturbed by its worries; you will soon part from them. Besides, situations change. Be even more cautious of its vicissitudes when you feel content with it. The more sure a person is of its pleasure, the more prone he is to its misery; the more agreeable one feels its company, the bitter his feeling of loneliness later on. ''

O Allah! Take Me To Jannatul Firdous!!!!
