Alhamduli'Allahi Rabbil-'Aalameen wa-Salaatu wa-Salaamu 'alaa Ashrafil-Anbiyaa-e-wal-Mursaleen~ wa ba'd. Assalaamu `Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuhu.
....A Reminder to Myself First !....{'Subhan Allah'}.... Hasan al-Basri (rahimaullah) ( an eminent scholar and pious individual of his time.) He would rarely Laugh due to his remembrance of Death and the Punishment of Hell ! One day he was going somewhere when he saw a young man indugled in laughter.... Hasan al-Basri (rahimaullah) asked the youth:- 'Young man....have you already crossed the bridge of Sirath' {?} Have you already found out whether you are going to Paradise or Hell"{?} The young man replied:- 'No'{!!!} Hasan al-Basri (rahimaullah) told him:- "Then why are you Laughing so much" {???} After that... no one saw this young man laughing again .... as he came to know the reality of this life{!!!}

A Lil Note :- Many hours or probably days have passed away from our lives in laughter and jokes.... It is a sign that we have forgotten the life of the Hereafter. The Sahabah used to do good deeds all day but still .... cry during the night to Allah{!!!} {'Subhan Allah'} My *Salaams* To You All.
Y a s m i n. "All that is on earth will Perish. But will abide {Forever} the Face of thy Lord, full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour" {'Quran'- Surah Al-Rahman-55.26-27 } 'Wasting time is Worse than Death! Because Death Separates you from this World Whereas wasting Time Separates you from Allah'. Ibn Qayimm Al-Jawziyyah. 
I Want to Die With my Forehead on the Ground!
The Sunnah in my Heart, Allah on my Mind,
Qur'an on my Tongue, and Tears in my Eyes! 'Insha Allah'! ' Son of Adam! You are nothing but a number of days, whenever each day passes then part of you has Gone. {Al-Hasan Al-Basree}
