Letter from Umar Bin Abdul Aziz to Hasan Al-Basri

From Omar to Hassan Al Basri.
Summarize for me what is Life and what is the Hereafter.
life is a dream (Mirage)
The hereafter is the real life (eternity )
Death is something is between( transition)
And we are in a deep dream
whoever questions himself is a winner
and Whoever neglects questioning himself loses.
And whoever foresees the consequences before they happen escapes harmimg himself.
Whoever led by his evil desire goes ashtray(misleads himself).
Who deep thinks about things wins.
Whoever does not jump into harm way save does not get hurt.
Whoever anticipates and read the future foresees where he will end up.
When you will be able to read the future ,you will understand the meaning of life..and when you understand life you become knowledgeable and when you become knowledgeable and you will know what to do.
If you do some mistakes ,easily you can correct yourself.
And if you regret doing things you wished not doing them.Stop doing them in the future.
If you stumble into something you don't know ,then just ask.
And if you get angry do not act emotionally and control yourself.


I hope this will help you.

This letter was sent from the Judge Hassan Al Basri to the king Omar Ibn Aziz who was looking for advice.
