Asalamualykum brother,

It basically means just because you can't see the 'danger' or 'threat' it doesn't mean you sit back and don't prepare.

We need to prepare ourselves now for the arrival of dajaal, the angel of death, the day of judgement etc. Just because we're not faced with the situation of dajaal, death, qiymaat etc at this moment in time - doesn't mean we can enjoy and be ignorant. The successful ones will always be the ones who have prepared themselves in advance.

I suppose it's similar to knowing you have an exam and revising and preparing for that exam so when the day comes you know all the answers and are ready. In sha Allah - Hope that makes sense - preparation is key!

"Treat people in such a way that they would mourn you when you die, and long for your company while you're alive."
