Peak of Eloquence Nahjul Balagha By Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib - English Translation - Sermon 239

#suntv #nahjulbalagha #nahjulbalaghaenglish
Exhorting His Men to Carry out Jihad, Asking Them to
Refrain from Seeking a Life of Luxury

Allah admonishes you to thank Him and assigns to you His
affairs. He has allowed time in the limited field (of life) so that you may vie with each other in seeking the reward (of Paradise).
Therefore, tighten your belts and wrap up the hems. High
courage and dinners do not go together. Sleep causes weakness in the big affairs of the day and (its)
darkness obliterates the thoughts of courage.
