Imam Ali (AS) said, Work while you are still alive, and while the books are [still] open, repentance is [still] accepted, the one who has strayed is [still] called [back], and the sinner is [still] given hope [of forgiveness]; before action abates, time expires, life ends and the door of repentance is closed.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : اِعْمَلُوا وَ أنْتُمْ في آوِنَةِ البَقاءِ وَ الصُّحُفُ مَنْشُورَةٌ وَ التَّوْبَةُ مَبْسُوطَةٌ وَ المُدْبِرُ يُدْعى وَ المُسِيءُ يُرْجى قَبْلَ أنْ يَخْمُدَ العَمَلُ وَ يَنْقَطِعَ المَهَلُ وَتَنْقَضِيَ المُدَّةُ وَ يُسَدَّ بابُ التَّوْبَةِ
