Say, To whom belongs the earth and whoever is in it, if you should know?"
They will say, "To Allah ." Say, "Then will you not remember?"
Say, "Who is Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne?"
They will say, "[They belong] to Allah ." Say, "Then will you not fear Him?"
Say, "In whose hand is the realm of all things - and He protects while none can protect against Him - if you should know?"
They will say, "[All belongs] to Allah ." Say, "Then how are you deluded?"
Rather, We have brought them the truth, and indeed they are liars. Q23:84-90

رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي فِي ذُرِّيَّتِي إِنِّي تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
My Lord! grant me that I may give thanks for Thy favor which Thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may do good which pleases Thee and do good to me in respect of my offspring; surely I turn to Thee, and surely I am of those who submit.

My dreadful crimes have deadened my heart,
so bring it to life by a repentance from You!
O my hope and my aim!
O my wish and my want!
By Your might, I find no one but You to forgive my sins.

The Whispered Prayer of the Repenters (Taibeen) مناجاة التائبين

اجِرْنَا مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ يَا مُجِيرُ
Keep us safe from the everlasting fire O Giver of Refuge!

Hadrat Ali (as) says: For the common people, the Qur’an provides apparent sentences; for some sophisticated individuals, it provides mysterious allusions; and for the saints of Allah, it reveals delicate divine nuances, while for the prophets it presents ‘facts’.

He said: Abu Bakr Muhammad b. Umar al-Je'abi reported from Abdullah b. Ishaq,
who reported from Ishaq b. Ibrahim al-Baghvi, who reported from Abu Qatan, who
reported from Hisham al-Dastwai, from Yahya b. Abu Katheer, from Urwah, from
Abdullah b. Umar that the Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, said:

"Surely, Allah does not withdraw knowledge from the people by erasing it from their
minds; rather, He does so by taking away the learned people (from among them).
And when there is no learned man around, people adopt the ignorant men as their
leaders, and refer their questions to these (ignorant leaders), who answer without
any knowledge, thus going astray, and causing others to go astray."  Al-Amali Sheikh Mufid p.26

So what an evil mount upon which my soul has mounted-its caprice!
Woe upon it for being seduced by its own opinions and wishes!
Destruction be upon it for its audacity toward its Master and Protector! - Dua'a Sabah 

And whoever holds firmly to Allah has [indeed] been guided to a straight path. Qur'an 3:101

When some blessings come to you, do not drive them away through thanklessness. [by Imam Ali AS]

يَارَبِّ، إنَّكَ تَدْعُونِي فَأُوَلِّي عَنْكَ،
وَتَتَحَبَّبُ إلَيَّ فأَتَبَغَّضُ إلَيْكَ،
وَتَتَوَدَّدُ إلَيَّ فَلا أَقْبَلُ مِنْكَ
كَأَنَّ لِيَ التَّطَوُّلَ عَلَيْكَ،
O Lord! You give an invitation but I turn down,
And You become familiar with me but I do not care for You,
And You show affection to me but I do not correspond to You
as if  You are overreaching me! Du'a Iftitah

Imam 'Ali (Zaynu'l 'Abidin) bin al-Husayn was asked: What is death? He said: For the believer it is like taking off clothes which are dirty and lousy; or breaking heavy shackles and fetters, and changing into the most gorgeous and perfumed of apparel, and (riding on) well-trained mounts, and (alighting in) familiar resting-places.
And for the unbeliever, it is the pulling off of gorgeous apparel and changing into the most filthy and coarse clothing ; and the transportation from familiar places to the wildest resting-places and the greatest torment.

Salim who said: I said to Abi Abdillah عليه السلام: what is the right of Allah over his creation? he said: that they should only say that which they know and should remain silent over that which they do not know - so if they were to do that then they have fulfilled the right of Allah.
