Good Ending

Imam Fakhr al-Din Razi said:

فلو ضيعت ألف سنة فيما لا يعني، ثم تبت وثبتت لك السعادة في اللمحة الأخيرة من العمر، بقيت في الجنة أبد الآباد

‘𝗜𝗳 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 – 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲.’

[‘Tafsir al-Kabir’, 22/83].

This is true, because the Prophet said:

إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِخَوَاتِيمِهَا

‘𝘁𝗵𝗲 (𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳) 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲, 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗽𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴.’

[‘Sahih Bukhari’, 6493].

It is also like drawing a beautiful painting for years…and then in the end, you just throw a bucket of paint on it… those 10 seconds will ruin 10 years of hard work.

May Allah grant us a good ending , ameen
