Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what about the signs and stickers that some young people put on their cars in large letters, such as “Death is sufficient as an admonisher”? Is there a basis for this?
Answer:
“Death is sufficient as an admonisher,” while he is speeding in the car, violating the rules, exposing himself to destruction, and so on, and saying “Death is sufficient as an admonisher.” Also, this is not what the predecessors did; they did not paste dhikr (remembrance of Allah) on walls, cars, or medicine. This involves reliance on the paper. It is reliance on the paper. You are supposed to always have the remembrance of Allah on your tongue and in your heart, and not forget the remembrance of Allah the Exalted. One who does not remember Allah except through a paper is considered lazy or heedless.
