00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.529
Allah the Almighty says:

00:00:02.529 --> 00:00:06.530
“Nay, but ye do love the fleeting Now” (75:20)

00:00:06.530 --> 00:00:10.259
And you neglect the Hereafter.

00:00:10.259 --> 00:00:14.259
Zayd Ibn Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:

00:00:14.259 --> 00:00:18.260
I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say:

00:00:18.260 --> 00:00:21.260
Whoever makes this world his primary concern,

00:00:21.260 --> 00:00:24.260
Allah will scatter his affairs,

00:00:24.260 --> 00:00:27.260
And place his poverty right before his eyes,

00:00:27.260 --> 00:00:30.260
And he will receive nothing of this world except what has been decreed for him.

00:00:30.260 --> 00:00:33.460
But whoever makes the Hereafter his primary concern,

00:00:33.460 --> 00:00:36.460
Allah will gather his affairs for him,

00:00:36.460 --> 00:00:39.460
And place his richness in his heart,

00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:42.740
And the world will come to him, even while it is reluctant.

00:00:42.740 --> 00:00:45.740
Malik Ibn Dinar (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

00:00:45.740 --> 00:00:48.740
Strive against your desires,

00:00:48.740 --> 00:00:51.740
Just as you strive against your enemies.
