Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily the fear of Allah [and God-wariness] has continually presented itself to the people of the past and those who came after them, because they will [all] need it tomorrow when Allah resurrects what He has created and takes back what He has given; but how few are those who undertake it the way it deserves to be undertaken!
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ تَقْوَى اللّهِ لَمْ تَزَلْ عارِضَةً نَفْسَها عَلَى الأُمَمِ الماضينَ وَ الغابِرينَ لِحاجَتِهِمْ إلَيْها غَداً إذا أعادَ اللّهُ ما أبْدَأَ وَ أخَذَ ما أعْطى فَما أقَلَّ مَنْ حَمَلَها حَقَّ حَمْلِها
