Explanation of the hadith: Remember the destroyer of pleasures frequently," meanin…

Lessons: Remember the destroyer of pleasures frequently," meanin…

Death cuts off the pleasures of this world, but as for the believer, it transfers him to the pleasures of the Hereafter and the pleasures of Paradise, with all the immense goodness therein.
Remembrance of death and what comes after it are among the reasons for repentance, turning away from sin, and preparing for the Hereafter.
