I would love to have already met my Lord had it not been for three blessings in this world,


1) to prostrate my forehead on the ground before Him;
2) to sit in gathering that favor the good word, which is like opting for the better of dates on a platter;
3) for the opportunity to fight in His cause, to proclaim His word, and to establish His religion on earth

Umar ibn Al-Khattab (radiAllaahu anhu) [Hilyat-ul Awliya]
