Thirdly, the Qur’an designates a group of people who live only to slander and find fault with others and to encourage mischief and destruction in these word: There is the type of man whose speech about this world’s life may dazzle you, and he calls Allah to witness what is in his heart. Yet he is the most contentious of enemies. When he turns his back, his aim everywhere is to spread mischief throughout the world and destroy crops and cattle. But Allah does not love mischief. These three goals in life Allah has bid us to avoid, because He has assigned the believers a higher purpose, which is to guide mankind to the divine path, and to illuminate the universe with the brightness of Islam 3) The Sojourners These people, who view themselves as living only temporarily in the world, are the true believers. They understand the real meaning of life and the value of this world compared to the hereafter. The Qur’an says” What is the life of this world but play and amusement? But best is the home in the hereafter for those who are righteous. Will you not then understand. [Qur’an 6:32] This worldly life can not deter them from pursuing the purpose of their creation in this life. Allah says in the Qur’an: I have created jinns and men only that they may serve Me. [Qur’an 51:56] The True Believer conceives the world as a field of struggle. His life, knowledge, business, wealth, home, thoughts are devoted to obeying Allah and fulfilling His will. In contrast, the materialist uses the same capabilities to fulfill his selfish desires.
