“It oppresses them with it's bonds…”

Imam Ali (as) said,

”This world is a place of barren deception and ephemeral embellishments. It is a fast disappearing shade and a keeling support. It destroys whomsoever wants more of it, and harms any who try to benefit from it. How many place their trust in it, depend upon it! But it oppresses them with its bonds, binds them with its tethers, over comes them with its strangling rope, and enmeshes them with its cords.”
