Every soul is a container so let not your container be empty
Imam ibn Al Jawzi, may Allah have mercy on him, said in his gentle letter of advice to his son called Latfaf Al Kabid fi Nasihat al Walad, urging his son to preserve his time:
Know, dear son, 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 that 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.
