Most People Prioritize Worldly Sciences Over the Hereafter
0:13
When people magnified the worldly life and preferred it over the Hereafter,
0:19
they prioritized worldly sciences that preserve their physical bodies and their livelihoods
0:24
over the sacred knowledge that preserves people's Hereafter as well as their worldly life, and heals their hearts.
0:31
They do this even though worldly disciplines demand payment and tuition from them,
0:35
whereas sacred knowledge comes to them free of charge.

Allah the Almighty said:

“And when their messengers brought them clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) they exulted in the knowledge they (themselves) possessed. And that which they were wont to mock befell them.” (40:83)
0:48
"And they were engulfed by that which they used to ridicule."
