صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! In the hadith we discussed at the beginning of this speech, the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم informed us about two things that are severely harmful to our faith. The second thing mentioned was the love of fame and status.

Love of status is more dangerous than love of wealth

Scholars of Islam say that love of status is more detrimental than love of wealth. People will use their time and energy to persist in chasing money, even leaving their families and business behind to do so.

On the other hand, they will quickly give hard-earned money to acquire the false ranks of this world, spending their wealth like water. Many people chase fame nowadays. In this age of social media, many are seen doing anything and everything online for fame. They upload trivial or even sinful videos and take selfies in their search for attention. There are many more dangerous routes people take for fame, and we ask Allah to protect us from them.

What was the Hereafter made for?

The Quran explains:

تِلۡکَ الدَّارُ الۡاٰخِرَۃُ نَجۡعَلُہَا لِلَّذِیۡنَ لَا یُرِیۡدُوۡنَ عُلُوًّا فِی الۡاَرۡضِ وَ لَا فَسَادًا ؕ

“This abode of the Hereafter We create for those who neither seek supremacy in the earth nor discord.”^{^[1]}

Paradise in the Hereafter is for those who did not want dominance, acclaim and authority in this world, nor did they spread mischief by sinning.
