2      The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: The world is the home of the one who has no home (in the Hereafter) and the world is the wealth of the one who has no other wealth and the person who saves for the world has no wisdom. (Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 7, pp. 375, Hadees 10638)

3     The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: The one who loves his world, harms his Hereafter and the one who loves his Hereafter, harms his world. Hence you prefer the immortal (Hereafter) to the mortal (world). (Musnad Imam Ahmad, vol. 7, pp. 165, Hadees 19717)

Regarding the above-mentioned blessed Hadees Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: From this blessed saying it has become obvious that the love of the world and the Hereafter both cannot be together in one heart; the world is opposite to the Hereafter. Imam Ghazali رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: The lower rank of Knowledge, wisdom and faith is that a human should know that the world is mortal and the Hereafter is immortal. That is to say, living in this world he should not become busy with the world, but rather prepare for the Hereafter. (Musnad Imam Ahmad, vol. 7, pp. 18)

وہ دنیا کی رنگینی میں کھویا رہا برباد ہوا

جس نے عشقِ نبی سے دل کو خالی اور ویران کیا

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

World is like sand!

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you heard! In the above-mentioned blessed Ahadees, people who love this world have been strongly condemned. We, therefore, should not only have a strong desire for the world, but rather we should collect virtuous deeds for the Hereafter because the world is like sand. No matter how much sand a person gets in his fist, all the sand gets out slowly from the fist in the form of particles and finally the fist remains empty. Same is the state of this deceitful world.
