Be in This World as a Stranger
كُنْ فِي الدُّنْيَا كَأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ أَوْ عَابِرُ سَبِيلٍ
Transliteration
Kun fid-dunya ka-annaka gharibun aw 'abiru sabil
Translation
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar (RA): Allah's Messenger ﷺ took hold of my shoulder and said, "Be in this world as though you were a stranger or a wayfarer." Ibn Umar would say: "When evening comes, do not wait for the morning; when morning comes, do not wait for the evening. Take from your health before your illness, and from your life before your death."
