Hasten! And put every effort in your journey – your entire journey is nothing but a short span of time.
Be passionate and tell yourself about reaching it – and pay the dowry for it for as long as you are able.
Fast from all sins before you reach it – and on that day it will be like the Eid after Ramadan.
Make the beautiful description your guide – and go forth, you will find hardship on the path but the outcome will be safe.
