Limited Immortality

Deep Bearing

Whosoever has Taqwa of Allah, He will make a way for him to get out. And He will provide him from where he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allah will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allah has set a measure for all things.
- Surah Talaq: 2-3

I did some further research on the ayah and found the following hadith:

Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibn `Abbas said that he rode the Prophet's camel while sitting behind the Prophet , and the Messenger of Allah said to him:

"O boy! I will teach you words [so learn them].

• Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you,
• be mindful of Allah and He will be on your side.
• If you ask, ask Allah, and if you seek help, seek it from Allah.
• Know that if the Ummah gather their strength to bring you benefit, they will never bring you benefit, except that which Allah has decreed for you.
  
• Know that if they gather their strength to harm you, they will never harm you, except with that which Allah has decreed against you.
  
• The pens have been raised and the pages are dry.
  

As it is said, The pen has been lifted, the ink has dried, your fate is sealed. Cowardice will not extend your life, bravery will not shorten it. Woe to the cowards.
