Kefâ Bil-Mevt Vaizan

Kefâ Bil-Mevt Wa'izan (كَفَى بِالْمَوْتِ وَاعِظًا)

“Kafa bil-mawt wa'izan” means “Death is a sufficient preacher (admonisher).”
It is a well-known Hadith (saying of the Prophet Muhammad) reminding believers that the mere reflection on death is enough to awaken the soul and redirect one from heedlessness to purpose.

This phrase encourages detachment from worldly obsession, prioritizing the afterlife, and living a life of consciousness. It is frequently cited in Sufi spirituality, funerals, grave visits, and moments of introspection to inspire humility, repentance, and spiritual clarity.
