don’t wish for an ending
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “Don’t wish for death because of what you’re going through.” (HR. Al-Bukhari 5671, Muslim 2680)
A long life is a blessing, not a burden. It gives us time to turn back, to repair what was broken, to fill our days with quiet good deeds that only Allah sees.
Every extra breath is a chance to return to Him a little closer.
(from Syajaratul Ma’arif, Syaikh al-‘Izz bin Abdus Salam)
