The Reality of This Dunya!


In the name of Allah the most gracious, Allah the Lord of all creations.

La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Billah-there is no power nor might except with Allah.

Someone said it so beautifully that; the likeness of the person who is attached to this Dunya, is the person who is licking a mango and he is enjoying the sweetness and before he knows it, it slips away from his hand.

When we Analyze, it says that we continue to get attached to this Dunya forgetting about the Akhira and before we know it the enjoyment of this Duniya is taken away by the sudden visit of death.

It is for this reason you need to constantly ask yourself; if at this seconds of this minutes of this hour of this day, death was to catch up with me, what have I achieved so good to present to Allah the day we stand before Allah?

Subhanallah.

Whatever may be said to us about the reality of this Dunya and what it does to a person who is in pursuit of its luxuries all the time forgetting about Allah, may not sound appealing to us until we face the reality of being in the grave!

The Qur'an says: The mutual increase diverts you 2.until you reach the graves.

Ibn Kathir said in regard to this Aya that Allah says that all are preoccupied with love of the world, its delight, and its adornments, and it's distracting you from seeking the Hereafter and desiring it. This delays you until death comes to you and you visit the graves, thus becoming its inhabitants.

Allah says '' Do not forget your portion of the Dunya'', it is a pity on how people use this verse to back their own whims and desires on how they get deluded in searching of the wealth of this Dunya forgetting about the Akhirah.

Imam Qurtubi said in regard to this Aya; that your portion of this Dunya is your Kuffan, that the only thing you take from the wealth of this Dunya is your Kuffan(two white garments you are buried with).

Subhanallah, have you ever thought of that, out of all the millions And billions you have amassed, the only thing you walk away with from your wealth is those two garments, la Hawla Walaala Quwwata Illa Billah.

May our hearts be attracted by the words of Allah And let it soften our hearts to the path of truth.
