Cure, Polish, Clothe and Nourish the Heart
Ibn Al-Qayyim
said
The heart gets sick as the body does and
its cure is in asking for forgiveness and protection.
It also becomes rusty like a mirror does and
it is polished by remembering Allah.
The heart can also be naked like the body and can lose its dress and decoration, which is piety,
and it can feel hunger and thirst like the body does, and its nourishment is knowledge, love, trust, and offering service to Allah.

"Know, that days are but hours, and hours are but breaths, and every soul is a container, hence let not any breath pass without any benefit, such as on the Day of Judgement you find an empty container and feel regret!
Be aware of every hour and how it passes, and only spend it in the best possible way; do not neglect yourself, but render it accustomed to the noblest and best of actions, "and send to your grave that which will please you when you arrive to it
