Arabic:

إِذَا مَاتَ ابْنُ آدَمَ انْقَطَعَ عَمَلُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ: صَدَقَةٍ جَارِيَةٍ، أَوْ عِلْمٍ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ، أَوْ وَلَدٍ صَالِحٍ يَدْعُو لَهُ

English Translation:

When the son of Adam dies, his deeds are cut off except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that benefits others, or a righteous child who prays for him.

Explanation: Most good deeds stop when we die, but three keep earning reward: a charity that keeps helping people (like a well or a school), knowledge we shared, and a good child who prays for us. Plant these while you can.
