Man's eternal life belongs to the eternal world. If you purify yourself, if you base your actions on the glorious Qur'an and Islamic decrees, if you make your morals compatible with the Quranic morals, if you edify yourself, you will have no fear of anything. Dying will be easy and immaterial. That is why Hadrat Amir, may God's peace be upon him, the master of all (faithful) said that he was more familiar with death than an infant with its mother's breast, because he had understood what was in this world and what was beyond it. He understood what death meant. Death is life. Many of our people were martyred, but martyrs are alive. They are alive and find their sustenance in the presence of God. They are immortal. We beseech God to make us achieve martyrdom. Then in one instant, it will be eternal bliss. A moment's endeavor and eternal bliss ensues .
