۞
Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily this world is an abode unfit for permanent residence, and is not the house for foraging. Its good is trifling, its evil is ready at hand, its authority is snatched away and its habitation faces desolation.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ الدُّنيا مَنْزِلُ قُلْعَة وَلَيْسَتْ بِدارِ نُجْعَة خَيْرُها زَهيدٌ وَ شَرُّها عَتيدٌ ومِلْكُها يُسْلَبُ وَ عامِرُها يَخْرَبُ
