All praise belongs to Allah, Who created the world as a place of trial and the Hereafter as the abode of permanence. Islamic Quotes of Imam Hassan (AS). He made this world transient and deceiving, yet many are ensnared by its illusions. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, One without partner, and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) is His servant and Messenger, the Seal of the Prophets, the guide towards righteousness, and the mercy to the worlds.

O People!

This world is a deceiver; it seduces with false hopes and leads astray those who chase after it. It promises eternity yet delivers only mortality, adorns itself with beauty yet conceals destruction beneath its surface. Islamic quotes of Imam Hassan (AS). How many have placed their trust in it, only to be betrayed? How many have built their homes upon its sands, only to have them crumble?

This world plays with the hearts of men, enticing them with wealth, power, and status. But in reality, it is nothing but a passage—a bridge to the Hereafter. The wise are those who recognise its deceit and do not become attached to it. The foolish are those who grasp it tightly, thinking it will last forever, only to find that it abandons them in their final moments.

O Servants of Allah!

Do not let this world blind you to your purpose. It is a place of action, not a place of reward. It is a field where you sow, but the harvest is in the Hereafter. Do not be deceived by the arrogance of the rich, nor the pride of the powerful, for their wealth and status are fleeting. Their graves will be no different than those of the poor, and their fate before Allah will be determined not by their riches but by their deeds.

Islamic Quotes of Imam Hassan (AS). I warn you against greed, for it is the root of all corruption. It leads a person to sin, hardens the heart, and blinds one to the truth. The one who is consumed by greed is never satisfied, always chasing more, yet finding no peace. Wealth does not bring honour; rather, it is contentment that is the true wealth.

O People!

Know that the best provision in this world is piety, and the best wealth is contentment. The one who is content is truly free, for he is not enslaved by his desires. A man may possess treasures greater than mountains, yet if his heart is empty of contentment, he remains poor. And a man may have little, yet if his heart is filled with gratitude, he is the richest of all.

Islamic quotes of Imam Hassan (AS): Take lessons from those who came before you! Where are the kings and rulers who once walked upon the earth with arrogance? Where are the tyrants who built palaces and thought they would live forever? Their wealth did not save them, nor did their power grant them eternity. They have become dust beneath the feet of the living, their names remembered only as a warning to those who follow.

O Servants of Allah!

Work for the Hereafter as if you will die tomorrow, and prepare for death as if it will come today. Do not be deceived by the temporary pleasures of this world, for they will vanish. Live with dignity, seek lawful sustenance, and be generous with what Allah has given you.

Do not envy those who have more than you in this world, for their test is greater than yours. Instead, look to those who have less so that you may be grateful. True richness is not in the abundance of wealth but in the heart that is at peace with what Allah has decreed.

Islamic Quotes of Imam Hassan: This world is like a shadow—it appears large, but it fades quickly. Do not chase after it, lest you lose yourself in its illusions. Instead, seek Allah’s mercy, strive for righteousness, and prepare for the everlasting life that awaits beyond this fleeting existence.

May Allah grant us wisdom, patience, and contentment, and may He guide us to the eternal abode of peace.

Peace be upon those who follow the guidance.
