What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

Each person mirrors a divine potential given by Allah; do not let it go to waste and live to mourn the person you could have become.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth says he has spent roughly the last half year immersing himself in the works of great spiritual scholars of Islam and will share that in the coming months. He relates something he read that day: that there is a fate worse than death, which is living to hear the eulogies of the person you could have become. He says each person is a mirror for the divine potential that Allah has gifted, and urges viewers not to let it go to waste.
