Hassan Al Basri

Someone asked Hassan Al Basri:
“What is the secret of your piety?” He replied, “I understood 4 things:

1. I understood my rizq cannot be taken by anyone so my heart is contended.

2. I understood no one can do my actions. (worship) so I started doing them myself.

3. I understood Allah Ta’ala is watching me, so I felt shame to do wrong.

4. I understood death is waiting for me so I started to prepare for my meeting with Allah Ta’ala.

We as Muslims should implement these 4 points into our lives to be successful in life & the afterlife InshaAllah..
