Remembering death and preparing for it helps one to be proactive and persistent in acts of obedience. He who frequently remembers death is honored with three things: hastened repentance, contentment of heart, and zeal in worship. And he who forgets it is punished with three things: delaying repentance, abandoning contentment with sufficiency, and laziness in worship. It is advised for those who suffer from physical symptoms to consult doctors and seek medical and psychological advice.
