Allah ﷻ says
*وَما الْحَيَوةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ مَتَـعُ الْغُرُورِ*
_And the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment_
[3:185]
Meaning, this life is only a form of enjoyment that deceives those who incline to it.
_
Allah ﷻ also says
*كَلاَّ بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ ▪ وَتَذَرُونَ الاٌّخِرَةَ*
_But no! You love the present worldly life! And you neglect the hereafter!_
[76:20-21]
Meaning, the only thing that has caused them to reject the Day of Judgement and oppose the true revelation and the Mighty Qur'an Allah ﷻ revealed to His Messenger is that their only concern is the present worldly life. They are preoccupied and distracted from the Hereafter.
_
Allah ﷻ warns us, He explicitly states and tells us time and time again, this world is nothing but a *temporary delusion!*
_
He ﷻ talks about those who only follows their desires
*أَرَءَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَـهَهُ هَوَاهُ*
_Have you seen him who has taken as his god his own vain desire._
[45:23]
Meaning, whatever he admires and sees as good in his own desires becomes his religion and his way.
*أَفَأَنتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ وَكِيلاً*
_Would you then be a guardian over him._
*أَمْ تَحْسَبُ أَنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ أَوْ يَعْقِلُونَ*
_Or do you think that most of them hear or understand_
*إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَالْأَنْعَامِ ۖ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا*
_They are only like cattle -- nay, they are even farther astray from the path._
[25:43-44]
_
Our Desires are the Dunya and its pleasures!
And to let go of it is to be saved from it!
_
The salaf were able to push away the Dunya and only be concerned with Al Akhirah.
This is why Prophet ﷺ said:
*كن في الدينا كانك غريب*
_Be in this Dunya, as if you are a stranger._
[Sahih Bukhari 6053]
_
In a time where there is much Fitnah, when there is much Killing and Destruction in the Muslim Ummah,
We must be on the path of Truth! The Straight Path.
_
May Allah ﷻ make us among those who are firmly guided on the straight path and protect us from every fitna.
*آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ*
