Hasan al-Basri was asked: What is the secret to your being so detached from this worldly life?

He replied:

“I am certain that none besides me will take from the sustenance that has been allotted to me.

I am certain that no one else will do good deeds for me, so I personally carry them out.

I am always conscious of the fact that Allah is watching me so I feel ashamed to commit any sin.

I am aware that death awaits me so I make preparations to meet Allah."

I ask Allah to make these things real for us.
