~~~~~~~ Nabi صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said: “By Allah, this world in comparison to the Hereafter is nothing but like one of you who dips his finger in the sea and removes it. So ponder how much (of sea water), does the finger return with.” [Mishkaat]… Hazrat Jabir bin ‘Abdillah (رضي الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰعنه ) said that Nabi صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ once passed by the marketplace, passing from the area of al-’Aliyah, while people were all around him. He then passed by a dead goat, whose ears were extremely small. He then took it by the ear, saying, “Who amongst you would like to have this (dead goat with small ears) for just a dirham?” They said, “By Allah! Even if it was alive, its small ears will be a deficiency, so how about when it is dead?” Nabi صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said, “By Allah! The dunya is even less significant in the Sight of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala than this is to you.” [ Muslim] … Important aspects discussed in this Hadith : • Simplicity • Not attaching ourselves and filling our hearts with the love of the world • We have come into this transitory world, taking some shade for a few days and then we depart from this world and continue our journey to the Hereafter, without taking anything of this Dunya with us…. • Do not amass wealth. It makes one negligent of the Aakhirah … • Wealth should be Halaal and used in avenues that take one closer to Allah Ta’ala … (Halaal wealth in the hands of a pious person is very beneficial because it will be used for good causes)....إنشاء اللّهُ ~~~~~~~
