Insignificance of this world

Insignificance of this world #7a:

The purpose of our creation is to worship Allaah, so don’t make this world our only focus:

Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: ❝Allaah تعالى says: {O son of Aadam, devote yourself to my worship. I will fill your heart with contentment and alleviate your poverty. If you do not do this, I will fill your heart with (worldly) pursuits and will not alleviate your poverty.}❞

[Musnad of Imaam Ahmad (8696), Tirmidhee (2466), Ibn Maajah (4107). and graded as “Hasan” by Shaikh al-Albaanee in al-Saheehah (1359). The wordings are of Ibn Maajah]

Insignificance of this world #7b:

﴿مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ حَرْثَ الْآخِرَةِ نَزِدْ لَهُ فِي حَرْثِهِ ۖ وَمَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ حَرْثَ الدُّنْيَا نُؤْتِهِ مِنْهَا وَمَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِن نَّصِيبٍ﴾

{Whosoever desires (with his deeds) the reward of the Hereafter, We give him increase in his reward, and whosoever desires the reward of this world (with his deeds), We give him thereof (what is written for him), and he has no portion in the Hereafter.} [Surah al-Shooraa (42): 20]

Anas ibn Maalik رضي الله عنه reported that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: ❝If anyone’s intention is to seek the Hereafter Allaah will place his sufficiency in his heart and order (take care of) his affairs and the world will come to him submissively; but if anyone’s intention is to seek worldly good, Allaah will place poverty before him and disorder his affairs, and only so much of it as has been decreed for him will come to him.❞

[Tirmidhee (2473) and graded as “Hasan” by Shaikh al-Albaanee in al-Saheehah (949)]

Insignificance of this world #7c:

Zaid bin Thaabit رضي الله عنه said that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: ❝Whoever is focused only on this world, Allaah will confound his affairs and make him fear poverty constantly, and he will not get anything of this world except what has been decreed for him. Whoever is focused on the Hereafter, Allaah will settle his affairs for him and make him feel content with his lot and his provision and the worldly gains will undoubtedly come to him.❞

[Sunan Ibn Maajah (4105) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]

Insignificance of this world #5:

The world is worthless like a dead lamb, worthless for possession and impermissible for consumption:

Jaabir bin `Abdullaah رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم was passing through the market with his Companions on his both sides, when he saw a dead skinny lamb. He held its ear and said: ❝Who of you would like to have it for a dirham?❞ They replied: We do not like to get it for nothing, and what shall we do with it? Then he صلى الله عليه وسلم asked: ❝Would you like to have it for nothing?❞ They replied: Had it been alive, it would have been defective because it is skinny; but when dead it is of no use. The Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: ❝Truly, the world is more contemptible to Allaah than this (the dead lamb) is to you.❞

[Saheeh Muslim (2957) and Sunan al-Tirmidhee (2321) from the Hadeeth of al-Mustawrid رضي الله عنه]

Insignificance of this world #4:

Sahl bin Sa`d رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: ❝Were this world worth a wing of mosquito, He (تعالى) would not allow the disbeliever to have a sip of water from it.❞

[Sunan al- Tirmidhee (2320) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]

If this world had the slightest of weight or value with Allaah, He تعالى would not have allowed the Kuffaar to inherit from it as they do not deserve it because of their Kufr and disobedience to Him.

This Hadeeth describes the worthlessness and insignificance of the world in the sight of Allaah تعالى. For this reason He تعالى allowed the Kuffaar and the criminals to own, inherit, and become kings and rulers in this world. And He تعالى protected and defended the Prophets and the righteous people, in general, so that it does not corrupt them.

✍🏻موعظة بليغة لابن عثيمين رحمه الله💢

⤵️🔰⤵️
💬وكلامه ينطبق على واقع الناس اليوم، والعاقل من يتعظ.

📝 قال الشيخ رحمه الله:
💢إنَّ الناس كلما ازدادوا في الرفاهية وكلما انفتحوا على الناس.. انفتحت عليهم الشرور.
وإنَّ الرفاهية هي التي تدمِّر الإنسان
➖والإنسان إذا نظر إلى الرفاهية وتنعيم جسده : غَفل عن تنعيم قلبه، وصار أكبر همه أن ينعِّم هذا الجسد الذي مآله إلى الديدان والنتن.. وهذا هو البلاء.. وهذا هو الذي ضر الناس اليوم
⬅️فلا تكاد تجد أحدا إلَّا ويقول:
▫️ما هو قصرنا؟
▫️وما هي سيارتنا؟
▫️وما هو فرشنا؟
🔰حتى الذين يدرسون العلم بعضهم إنَّما يدرس من أجل أن ينال رتبة أو مرتبة يتوصل بها إلى نعيم الدنيا، ما كأن الإنسان خلق لأمر عظيم.
➖والدنيا ونعيمها إنَّما هو وسيلة فقط.

📝قال شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية رحمه الله :
(ينبغي للإنسان أن يستعمل المال كما يستعمل الحمار للركوب، وكما يستعمل بيت الخلاء للغائط)

⭕️فلا تجعل المال أكبر همك..
بل اركب المال، فإن لم تركبه؛ ركبك، وصار همك هو الدنيا.

↩️ولهذا نقول :
إنَّ الناس كلما انفتحت عليهم الدنيا، وصاروا ينظرون إليها؛ فإنَّهم يخسرون من الآخرة بقدر ما ربحوا من الدنيا.

📄قال النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام :
(والله ما الفقر أخشى عليكم، وإنَّما أخشى عليكم أن تُفْتَح عليكم الدنيا، فتنافسوها كما تنافسها من قبلكم، فتهلككم كما أهلكتهم).

وصدق عليه الصلاة السلام ، فالذي أهلك الناس اليوم التنافس في الدنيا وكأنَّهم خُلِقوا لها، وكأنَّها خُلِقت لهم،
فاشتغلوا بما خُلِق لهم عما خُلِقوا له، وهذا من الانتكاس، نسأل الله العافية.
