*LOVE FOR THE DUNIYA*
➖➖➖
*The Punishment of Fire*
➖➖➖
Allah ﷻ says
*الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا دِينَهُمْ لَهْوًا وَلَعِبًا*
Those who took their religion as amusement and play,
[7:51]
They took the Deen for a joke and thought they could waste their time with the Dunya in their lives!
_
Even When Allah ﷻ commanded,
*وَ لَا تَتَّخِذُوا آيَاتُ اللهِ هُزُواً*
And don't take the Ayaat of Allah as a joke.
[2:231]
_
And the third quality of these people?
*وَغَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا*
And the life of this world deceived them!
[7:51]
They were deluded by the Dunya, deluded by its allure and beauty, and they were pushed away from Allah ﷻ!
_
Even after Allah ﷻ warned
*وَ مَا الحَيَاةُ الدُّنيَا اِلَّا مَتَاعُ الغُرُور*
And what is the life of this world except a temporary delusion.
[3:185]
_
They still took their Dunya for the utmost priority!
_
Their punishment?
*فَالْيَوْمَ نَنسَـهُمْ كَمَا نَسُواْ لِقَآءَ يَوْمِهِمْ هَـذَا*
So this Day We shall forget them as they forgot their meeting of this Day
Meaning, Allah ﷻ will treat them as if He has forgotten them. Certainly, nothing escapes Allah's perfect watch and He never forgets anything.
*وَمَا كَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ*
And they used to reject our Ayaat.
[7:51]
Meaning, reflect on how we reject the Ayaat of Allah via our actions while our speech affirms the Ayaat of Allah.
_
These are the people it is mentioned in the Ayaat before,
They will cry out in Hellfire,
*وَنَادَى أَصْحَـبُ النَّارِ أَصْحَـبَ الْجَنَّةِ أَنْ أَفِيضُواْ عَلَيْنَا مِنَ الْمَآءِ أَوْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ*
And People of Hellfire will call to the People of Jannah: "Pour on us some water or anything that Allah has provided you with.say
*إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَهُمَا عَلَى الْكَـفِرِينَ*
"They will say: "Indeed Allah has forbidden both upon the disbelievers"
[7:50]
_
It is recorded in Sahihain,
Prophet ﷺ said that Allah will say
"Have I not gotten you married Have I not honored you Have I not made horses and camels subservient for you and allowed you to become a leader and a master"
He will say, "Yes." Allah will say, "Did you think that you will meet Me"
He will say, "No."
Allah ﷻ will say "Then this Day, I will forget you as you have forgotten Me."
[Sahih Muslim 4:2279]
_
How much do we forget Allah ﷻ in our lives?
Isn't it time we turn back to Allah ﷻ?
Reflect!
