Imagine what people have done to succeed
Think of the lengths they traverse to attain wealth
People have strained themselves for Earthly treasures
Knowing these treasures disappear when death comes
But the jewels which are eternal never disappear
And doing good deeds is possible even for the poorest
So traverse those same lengths to attain goodness
And you will find yourself rich in Heaven
Shall you seek out good word?
Or do you seek out the words of an orator
Shall you put your thoughts on goodness?
Or do you think only of what is advantageous
Shall you put work into good deeds?
Or do you focus solely on your goals
Seek out what is good, and have faith in God's cause
Then He will grant you all that is needed
