Do not go with empty hands

Imam Ibn Al Jawzi (Rahimahu Allah) said:

"Know my son , that  days are just hours, and the hours are just breaths, and every soul is a container, from there, do not let any breath pass without any benefict, so that during the Day of Juzgement you find an empty container and lament !
Be aware of every hour and how this pass and spend it just as well as possible, do not neglect!But let it habituated to the most noblest and best of actions, and send to your grave that which will please, when you get to it."
