When I reflected on this matter, there was only one thing for me to do: always be ready for death. Always ask God for forgiveness for the loads of sins that I commit on a daily basis. Always make sure that I have not wronged anyone on this earth, because, when I meet my Lord, the person I wronged has a right to take his or her retribution from me on that day.
