A Parable Regarding Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow!

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Some of the wise people said, “The days are three types: Yesterday is like a moral lesson, so it remains as an admonition and a lesson for you. Today is like a friend who gives you [good] advice. You did not approach it, rather it came to you. It was hidden from you for a prolonged period and will depart quickly, so get hold of it [by doing good]. As for Tomorrow, you do not know what Allaah has decreed, whether you’ll be from its people or not”.

Bahjatul Majaalis 3/330. By Ibn Abdil Barr [rahimahullaah]
