Mankind is on a journey

From the very moment of creation, mankind is on a journey.
He is a traveler and is not allowed to halt except when he reaches either Paradise or Hellfire.
The wise one among them is the one who knows that traveling is based on hardship and danger. It is usually hard to seek pleasures and relief during it, which are to be acquired after it is completed. Every footstep and every moan made during this journey will not stop him.
It is proven that the traveler is preparing supplies, which will take him to his final end. And if he halts, sleeps, or rests, he is doing so while preparing himself to complete his journey. - Abridged from: Al-Fawaai’d Ibn Qayyim,
