Sufyan ath-Thawri (رحمه اللّه) said: “Remember Allāh frequently, and, as a result, Allāh will make you less desirous of this world (and its pleasures and possessions). Remember death, and, as a result, Allāh will make your worldly affairs easier for you. Yearn for Paradise, and, as a result, Allāh will help you obey Him. Be frightened by the Hellfire, and, as a result, Allāh will make it easier for you to endure the hardships of this life.” [The Biography of Sufyān Ath-Thauri, p.176-181]
