The year is like a tree, months are its branches, days are the branch sticks, hours are its leaves, and the breaths are its fruits. 

►Therefore, if one's breaths are in obedience [to Allah & His Messenger], the fruits of his tree are good. 

►If they are in disobedience, his fruits are bitter. 

The harvest is on the Appointed Day, when one's fruits are found out to be either good or bitter.

 
[Imam Ibn-ul-Qayyim]
