186 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad an account of their age. One ought to remember those friends and relatives who were with them before but have now left this world. The days of health race by in a person’s life while they are in a state of heedlessness. One should endeavour to keep the fear of Allah dominant over one’s heart.
