4 Advice From Hasan Al Basri Regarding Piety

Someone asked Hassan Al Basri: “What is the secret of your piety?”

He replied, “I understood 4 things:

1. I understood my rizq (sustenance) cannot be taken by anyone so my heart is content. 

2. I understood no one can do my actions (worship) so I started doing them myself. 

3. I understood Allaah Ta’ala is watching me, so I felt shame to do wrong. 

4. I understood death is waiting for me so I started to prepare for my meeting with Allah Ta’ala.”
