Buraiyon ki Maa | Mother of Evils
takes the meaning of worldliness as ‘fondness towards worldly things’ then it is also evident that just like alcohol that makes one lose his senses, ‘fondness towards worldliness’ also makes one negligent of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and distracts him from pondering over his afterlife. The way too much consumption of alcohol causes one’s head to spin, likewise the one who hankers after worldly things has his mind fully and constantly occupied in it. As it is said that alcohol is the key of all evils; similarly, the love of this world is the root cause of all sins.
Alcohol is similar to mirage[1]. A person becomes aware of his ignorance when he reaches the mirage, likewise, when a drunken person is intoxicated, people laugh at him and he suffers embarrassment on regaining his senses.
The difference between ‘Sharāb’ and ‘Sarāb’
In the Arabic language the words ‘Sharāb (alcohol)’ and ‘Sarāb (mirage, or an illusion)’ has a difference of only three dots, pointing towards three alarming Madanī pearls.
1. Embarrassment after realisation of mirage lasts for a few moments only, whereas the embarrassment caused by alcohol remains with one in all three stages i.e. in the world, Barzakh (life period after the worldly life and before the Day of Judgement) and on the Day of Judgement. The alcoholic is untrustworthy in the world; he is wretched and deprived in Barzakh and will be tormented on the Day of Judgement.
[1] An effect caused by hot air in deserts or on roads, which makes you think you can see that there is some water which is not there in fact.
