صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب    صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! The world is like an inn in which travellers come and stay and after staying for a few days they leave. The one who goes to an inn and stays for a few days never has high hopes and takes interest in its liveliness. We, therefore, should not engross ourselves in this temporary home [the world], because one day we have to depart from it. This world is not our destination, but Paradise. Let’s listen to three blessed sayings of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in order to increase disinclination in the world and develop contemplation of the Hereafter in the heart and get the Madani pearls of advice and admonition. 

1     The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will make all the affairs of the person who is always worried about the world (and does not care for the religion) troublesome and his poverty will always be in front of him and he will get the world as much as is written in his destiny and the one whose intention is towards the Hereafter, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will make all of his matters proper for his ease of mind and will put the unwillingness of this world in his heart and the world will come to him by itself. (Ibn Majah, vol. 4, pp. 424, Hadees 4105)

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 these blessed sayings 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
