why do we hate death?

سأل سليمان بن عبد الملك أبو حازم: يا أبا حازم مالنا نكره الموت ؟ فقال أبو حازم: لأنكم عمرتم دنياكم, وخربتم أخراكم, فأنتم تكرهون الخروج من العمران إلى الخراب

Sulayman ibn Abdul Malik asked Abu Hazim: oh Abu Hazim why do we hate death? So Abu Hazim said; 'Because you have build up your dunya and ruined your hearafter and so you hate to leave that which is build for what is ruined.

Mukhtasar Minhaaj al-Qaasideen

Never do I argue with a man with a desire ..

"Never do I argue with a man with a desire to hear him say what is wrong, or to expose him and win victory over him. Whenever I face an opponent in debate I silently pray - O Lord, help him so that truth may flow from his heart and on his tongue, and so that if truth is on my side, he may follow me; and if truth be on his side, I may follow him." Imam Ash-Shafi'ee

Seek happiness in one of three things

Seek happiness in one of three things: in the recitation of the Qur’an, in the remembrance of Allah and in Prayer. If you do not find happiness in one of these matters, then know that the door to happiness has been shut for you.”

Hasan Al-Basri

This Qur’an can either be your blessed reward

“This Qur’an can either be your blessed reward, or it can become your unexpected burden on the day of reckoning. Follow the Qur’an and do not let the Qur’an follow you! For whosoever follows the Qur’an, it will lead him to the blissful gardens of janna, and whosoever is followed by the Qur’an, it will chase him and force him until it shoves him into the abyss of hell-fire (naar al-jahannam)”.

["Hilyat Al-Awliya", 1/257]
