WHAT ARE WE STRIVING FOR: DUNIYA OR AKHIRAH? My dear Muslim Brothers and Sisters in the faith of Islam many of us seem to spend an incredible amount of time and energy chasing the dream job. After all, a bigger paycheck often translates into a better car, a bigger house and a higher worldly social status. Get me Right Am not stop any one from chasing the Duniya But we are warned about this in The Qur’an: “Rivalry in worldly increase distracts you (from the remembrance of Allah), till you come to the graves” (102: 1-2). “Your wealth and your children are but a trial, and Allah has with Him a great reward.” (64:15). EVER THINK OF THE RESULTS OF ALL OF YOUR WORLDLY EFFORTS? ”It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.” (79:46) Lavish homes and fancy weeding and vacations are temporary worldly fixes whereas dedicating time and effort into something that lasts an eternity make more sense, doesn’t it? Indeed, the akhirah is better for us; we need to use our time in this dunya to work for it.
