THE LIFE OF THIS WORLD

The Life Of This Vain World

▫▫▫▫☘▫▫▫▫☘▫

The All-Mighty Allah `The Exalted,' says describing this world: 

“...Truly, the life of this world is nothing but a [quick passing] enjoyment, and verily, the Hereafter that is the home that will remain forever.)” (Qur'an 40:39) 

He has also warned mankind of the trial that children and possessions represent, saying: (And know that your possessions and your children are but a trial and that surely with Allah is a mighty reward.) (Qur'an 8:28) 

The All-Mighty Allah also forbids us to long for what he has bestowed on others: 

(And strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to various groups of them [polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah], the splendour of the life of this world, that We may test them thereby...)
 (Qur'an 20:131) 

The Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said: “The Hour (of Resurrection) has drawn near, whereas the people have become more greedy for the life of the world and more remote from Allah.”[Narrated by al-Haakim] 

Collecting worldly benefits by legal means and spending them for legal ends is worship that brings a person close to Allah.

But collecting them by illegal means or spending them for illegal ends leads only to Hell. 

May Allah grant us steadfastness in our Deen. Aameen
