The Afterlife (S2) Our messenger ﷺ: “Visit the ailing and follow funerals, for they remind you of the hereafter”. Is your spiritual bank account being loaded? We are doing good works to send to the next life, yet don’t see the fruits of our labour - Here Imam Ali رضي الله عنه said: “Verily, today there is action without reckoning. Tomorrow, there will be reckoning without action”. Eesa (a.s): “Work for Allah ﷻ, not your bellies. Look at these birds, they don’t till not harvest yet Allah ﷻ provides for them. You may say: ‘Our bellies are larger than bird’s”, then look to the cows and donkeys! They don’t till nor harvest and Allah ﷻ provides for them. Fear the pointless excess of this world, for Allah ﷻ despises it!”. Do you desire rotten mean? 🥩 Ali رضي الله عنه: “The world is decaying meat. Whoever desires it, has to put up with the ravenous dogs!” Do you want to compete with ‘dogs’ ? Simply indulge in the pointless aspects of this duniya! A man asked our messenger ﷺ: “How do I get Allah ﷻ to love me?” Our messenger replied: “Don’t love the world”. The man asked: “How do I get people to love me?”. Our messenger ﷺ replied: “Don’t love what they love”. Our messenger ﷺ: “Beware of the world, for it is more enchanting than Harut and Marut (a.s)”.
