Hadith : Be a passerby

It is narrated that the Prophet Mohammed said : Be in this world as if you are a traveller, with your clothes and shoes full of dust. Sometimes you will sit under the shade of a tree, sometimes you will walk in the desert. Be a passerby, always, for this world is not your home.

    “Our own” Desiderius Erasmus said in 1534:
    ‘ Reizigers zijn we op deze wereld, geen bewoners’ (Travellers we are in this world, not residents) . As I understand it can also be found in several places in the old testament. Beautiful, these shared realizations….thank you for reminding us…..
