WE Are But GUESTS And PRISONERS!!!
The righteous believers live just as Hassan Al-Basri described them: “May Allah grant mercy to some people who used this life as if it was a loan; they gave it back to He who has entrusted it to them and went away with a light weight (of burden).”
[Al-Ihya, vol.3, p.221]
[Al-Ihya, vol.3, p.221]
Ibn Mas’ud (ra) said: “Everyone in this life is a guest whose wealth is a loan he took; the guest is bound to leave and give back what he took as a loan.”
[Life is a Fading Shadow, by Abdul-Malik Muhammad ibn Abdul Rahman al-Qasim, p.37]

It was reported that ‘Isa (as) said: “Who would build a house on top of the sea’s waves? This is the parable of life, so do not take it as a permanent residence.”
[Jami’ul-Ulum wal-Hikam, p.379]

Al-Hasan said: “In this life, the believer is just like a prisoner who strives hard to free his neck; he never feels safe until he meets Allah, the Exalted and Most Honored.”
