Strive or Struggle (JIHAD

no one knows. Every moment we live today will have consequences that we will face for countless years to come. Each one of us is moving toward an end where there will be either eternal comfort or eternal suffering. Life is like a slope down which all people are moving rapidly. Every passing moment brings us closer to the final outcome that awaits each of us. We have only a few days of life—days whose consequences will not be limited to millions or billions of years, but will extend into eternity. Its comfort will be beyond measure, and its suffering unbearably painful. Every time the sun sets, it reduces your life by another day—this life, which is your only opportunity to prepare for the Day to come. Our life is like that of a seller of ice, whose stock melts away with every passing moment. Their success lies in selling their goods before time runs out; otherwise, in the end, nothing will remain, and they will leave empty-handed.
