As a young man, Abin Alsar heard his father talking to a dervish.
“Be careful with your creations,” said the dervish. - Think about what future generations will say about you.
- So what? - answered the father. “When I die, everything will be over, and I won’t care what they say.”
Abin Alsar never forgot about this conversation. Throughout his life, he tried to do good and help people do their work with enthusiasm. He became known as a man who cared about others; After his death, he left a large number of buildings that improved the standard of living in the city.
He ordered the following epitaph to be inscribed on his grave: “A life that ends when death occurs is a life that was worth nothing.”
