“A man asked the Prophet ﷺ: When is the Day of Judgment, O messenger of Allah? He said: "What have you prepared for it?" He said: "I have not prepared much prayer, fasting, or charity for it, but I love Allah and His messenger." The Prophet said: "You will be with the ones you love."

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

“Get yourself out of this limited world of diseases to the wide world of the hereafter, which has what the eyes have never seen. Nothing is impossible there, and love is not lost.

O you who sold yourself for the sake of something that will cause you suffering and pain, and which will also lose its beauty, you sold the most precious item for the cheapest price, as if you neither knew the value of the goods nor the meanness of the price. Wait until you come on the Day of mutual loss and gain and you will discover the injustice of this contract.
