Sermon (155): The instability of the world and the martyrdom of the limbs

All praise is due to Allah, Who has made praise the opening of His remembrance, the means of increasing His grace and favor, and the proof of His blessings and greatness. O people of Allah! The course of time will remain with the rest of the people as it was with the one who passed away. As much as the time has passed, it will not come back and what is in it will not last forever. In the end, its troubles want to increase one after the other and its flags are behind each other as if you are associated with the foot of the doomsday. He wanders in wanderings and entangles in deaths, and the devils drag him into transgressions and make his misdeeds appear before him. Servants of Allah! Remember that piety is a strong fortress and iniquity is a (weak) four walls that can neither prevent disasters from its inhabitants nor protect them. See, piety is the thing by which the sting of sins is cut off and by faith only the achievements of the goal are obtained. O people of Allah! About your self, fear Allah, who is dearer and more beloved to you than all other souls. Now there will be either eternal misery or eternal happiness. From Darfani, provide comfort for the rest of the world. You have been given the address of Zaadrah and the order of the coach has been received. You are like the horsemen who stay, you do not know when the order will be given to depart. Well, what will he do with the world that was created for the hereafter and what will he do with the wealth that is going to be taken away from him soon and he is going to be held accountable for it. Servants of Allah! The good that God has promised cannot be forsaken and the evil that God has withheld cannot be desired. Servants of Allah! Fear the Day in which there will be many trials and earthquakes, and children will grow old in it. O people of Allah! Be sure that your conscience itself is your guardian, and your limbs and organs are your guardians, and they are the ones who accurately remember the count of your actions and breaths (Karam Katbeen) from them, neither the darkness of the dark night can hide from them, nor closed doors can hide you. Surely tomorrow is "nearer than today." "Today" will take everything with it. And "tomorrow" comes after it. It is as if each of you has reached that part of the earth where there is a destination of solitude and a sign of the pit (grave). What should be described about the destination of horror in the house of this loneliness and the (horrors of) loneliness during the journey? It is as if the sound of the trumpet has reached you, and the Hour has come upon you, and you have come forth (from the graves) to hear the final judgment, the veils of falsehood have been removed from your eyes, and your deceitful pretenses have been suppressed, and the truths have been established for you, and all things have returned to their proper place. Take lessons from lessons and lessons from the reversal of times and benefit from things that frighten you.
