The measure and length of your true age in this life is based upon the magnitude of the position you take in it, so do not pass through this life without leaving a trace or true stance that tells of how you stood with Truth against falsehood. Certainly, this life is a test. Accentuate your position in it no matter how long your life may be—for it will be short, trivial, and meaningless if you do not take a stance. And no matter how short your life is (in this life), it will be a long and great life in accordance with the magnitude and greatness of your stance regarding Truth.
{And when he reached [the age of] accompanying him, he [Abraham] said, ‘O my son, I have seen in a dream that I was slaughtering you, so tell me, what you think?” He said, “O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, God willing, among the patient’}” Quran, 37:102.
