About the Transience of the World
Beware! Surely this world is a place from which protection
cannot be sought except while one is in it. The action which is performed
only for this world cannot secure salvation. People are tested in it through
calamities. Those who have taken worldly pleasures here will be taken out
from them (by death) and will be questioned about them. And whatever
(good actions) they have achieved for the other world, they will get them
there and stay in them. For the intelligent, this world is like the shade; one
moment it is spread out and extended but soon it shrinks and contracts.
