The state of this world has come down to, "Me, Myself and I"; We are very selfish
"The world has gone to such a state that we just think about " Me, My self and I" WE ARE VERY SELFISH. Our Muslim brothers are dying all around the world we cannot save them. There is droughts in some countries like our Muslim brothers and sisters in Africa they are struggling, but we sit here doing nothing. There is one thing we can do make dua for them." Shaykh Zahir Mahmood talks about these very good points Inshallah listen in and Inshallah you will benefit.

'I am the Dunya THE LIFE!!' - A beautiful short story
Posted by:
I Luv Holy Quran
A boy said to his father: "I saw a girl and I want to marry her. She is so beautiful and she has gorgeous eyes. The father answered his son: of course son, let’s ask for her hand in marriage."
When the father saw the girl, he admired her beauty and he told his son: "You don’t deserve this girl, she needs someone who has experience in life and she can depend on, someone like me."
The boy was surprised by the attitude of his father and he told him : "She will marry me, not you”. They started to fight and finally they decided both to go to the police station to solve their problem.
When they tell their story to the police officer, he told them:”bring the girl so we can ask her about her opinion about this. " When the officer saw the beauty of the girl he said to the boy and his father:”you both don’t deserve her, she needs someone who has prestige like me.”
The 3 men started a fight and decided to go to the minister to solve their problem. When the minister saw the girl, he said: "She deserves to be married with a minister like me”. The prince heard about their problem and call them all to help them solve it but and when he saw the girl he said : "This girl will marry me” .
All the 5 men started to fight. Finally, the girl said “I have the solution! I will start to run and whoever catches me first, he will be my husband”. When she started to run, the boy, his father, the police officer, the minister and the prince started to run to catch her. Suddenly the 5 men fell into a deep hole.
The girl looked to them from the top and she said “did you know who am I?”
I am the Dunya THE LIFE!!
People want to run to catch me, they are racing to have me.
By doing that, they forget their religion, until they end up in their grave and won’t have me....

Those living in ignorant bliss
For those living in this deceiving life, who strive for the bounties of this world as if there in no tomorrow all the while oppressing the very kin next to you, rest assured the pain hurts now but there will be respite for me in the end. Its the end that matters in suit of life. The endless partying, idle talk between the family, plotting and oppressing...what shame have they brought to themselves yet they do not realize they are below cattle in ignorance, not remembering they will join the very departed souls who vanished in front of them (RSA)

This world is only the mere enjoyment of deception
وَما الْحَيَوةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ مَتَـعُ الْغُرُورِ

This world to a believer and disbeliever...
"The world is a prison-house for a believer and Paradise for a non-believer" [Sahih Muslim Book 42, Chapter 1, Number 7058]
Isn`t this the case today...especially to my loved ones, family and friends?

The Life of this World...this dunya
The Life of this World
by Abu 'Abdir-Rahman Mohammad Navaid Aziz
SunnahOnline.com
Alhamdulillâhi rabbil-'âlamîn was salâtu was salâmu 'ala ashrifil anbiyâ wal-mursalîn nabîyina Muhammad wa 'ala âlihi wa sahbihî ajma'în
Amma ba'ad:
Truly, we were granted this life to be tested which of us would remain steadfast in the dhikr (remembrance) and shukr (gratitude) of Allah, the Sublime. Living in a landmine where every step you take can lead to your possible destruction, and not destruction of the body but rather of the soul, we see people being annihilated every single day.
This world is one big attraction, making those who in reality are meagre and full of weakness look strong and mighty, making those who are ignorant seem intelligent, and portraying those who have been misguided and enslaved to their own desires as being the most guided of people.
Know, that no one lives in this dunya (world) except that he will be eaten by it in its entirety or will leave bruised and scarred except for those whom Allah, the Most High, has mercy upon. Hasan al-Basree, may Allah have mercy upon him, had some wise words concerning the dunya when he said:
"So beware of this land (the dunya) that is falling down and is misleading and
deceiving, being decorated by its deceit and having eluded (others) by its delusion,
and having killed its people with its hopes. It looks forward with anticipation
towards the one who proposes to it for marriage. Hence it becomes like the
unveiled bride - all the eyes are looking towards it, and the souls are in love with it,
and the hearts are captivated by it." [Related by Abu Nu'aym in al-Hilyah (2/135-136)]
Indeed he was true in his words, as we are all guilty of the crime of being deceived by the dunya with its beauty and glamour. Some of us were fortunate to get out, praise be to Allah, while others have wandered off into the everlasting dark tunnel that had no light at its beginning and has no light at its end, and the only thing that will allow him to leave is death itself. Refuge is sought with Allah, the Most High, from such an evil ending.
And know for a fact that no matter how much good you may see in this dunya, in reality it is just a wolf dressed in sheep’s clothing. Had there been any good in it, then Allah, the Beneficent, would have made it a place of reward, and place of dissension of His mercy but rather Allah only sent one of His mercies upon the earth through which we are kind to one another, and rather He has made it a place of trial and tribulation and a true prison for the believer. Likewise, had there been good in it we would have seen the Prophet, peace be upon him, being attached to it and living in its luxuries but rather he sacrificed it all with full certainty in that which will come after is better and everlasting. Thus, he said:
"The dunya is cursed. Cursed is all that is in it except for the remembrance of Allah,
and that which resembles it, a scholar, and a student (of knowledge)." [Related by
Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah, and Bayhaqi. The wording is taken from Shaykh al-Albaanee's
Sahîh at-Targhîb wat-Tarhîb (1/34)]
So do we need anymore proof that this dunya is an endless pit for the one who is not careful and falls into it?
One of the most beautiful words ever uttered were at the end of a sîrah lecture (a lecture of the Prophet's life) where the speaker said referring to the Prophet, peace be upon him:
"He had the world at his feet, yet not a dinâr to his name."
Indeed that’s what true zuhd (asceticism) and taqwâ (piety) is, having the dunya bestowed upon you from every angle imaginable and sacrificing it for the noble face of your Creator and Sustainer. Truly a noble attribute that most have lost, except those who have been encompassed by the Mercy of Allah. So let us abandon this dunya and its temporary beauty for the joys which will last for eternity. Let us be the children of the âkhirah (hereafter) and not of the dunya as 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
"Verily the dunya is coming to an end, and the âkhirah is coming to a beginning and
they both have children. So be children of the âkhirah and don’t be children of the
dunya. For verily today there is action with no account and tomorrow there’s
account with no action." [Related by Ibn al-Qayyim in ad-Dâ' wad-Dawâ Fasl 15]
So let us wear the garments of imân (faith) and taqwâ (piety) as they are the only true garments the cover the 'awrah, and are the only protection from the tribulations of the dunya. Like Allah, the Most High, said:
"And take provision, verily the best of provisions is at-taqwâ." [Al-Qur'ân 2:197]
And as He says:
"Verily for the muttaqîn (people of taqwâ) is success (i.e. Paradise)." [Al-Qur'ân
78:31]
And as He says:
"Indeed successful are the believers." [Al-Qur'ân 23:1]
And as He, the Most High, says:
"Verily those who believe and do righteous deeds will have the gardens of
al-firdaus (the loftiest form of paradise)." [Al-Qur'ân 18:107]
May Allah make us of these people - Âmîn.
Lastly, before I end off, I leave you with the words of the Prophet, peace be upon him:
"Every man starts his day being a vendor of his soul, either freeing it or bringing
about its ruin."
He who enslaves his soul to Allah has indeed liberated it and he who enslaves his soul to his whims and desires then let him prepare for a marriage to captivity till death do you part. Proving this point is the statement of the 'Allâmah of raqâ'iq (heart softening traditions) Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy upon him:
"Verily the life of man is in the life of his heart and his soul. And there is no life in
the heart except by knowing its creator, having love for him, worshipping him
solely, turning to him in times of need, and seeking tranquillity with His
remembrance. And he who loses this life has lost all good. Even if he attempts to
substitute (this loss) with all that is in the world. For verily not even all of the world
together would be able to replace this life. And verily for everything that a slave
loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to
replace Him." [Related by Ibn al-Qayyim in ad-Dâ' wad-Dawâ Fasl 49]
So take these two sayings, read them, understand them, and implement them to the best of your ability, and know, without a doubt, that Allah is the one who grants success.
- The statement of Fudayl bin 'Iyyaad: "Man's fear of Allah is equal to his knowledge of Him and his renunciation of worldly pleasures is equal to his desire in the Hereafter."
- Secondly, the advice of Sufyan ath-Thawree: "Work for the sake of this life within the extent of your stay in it, and for the Hereafter within the extent of your stay therein."
[Both quotes are related in Abdul-Malik al-Qaasim's Life is a Fading Shadow, (Dar-us-Salam)]
And Allah knows best.
May Allah make us of those people who benefit from admonition and of those who when they are given are thankful, when tested are patient, and when sin are repenting (as these are the keys to success in this dunya and the âkhirah) - Âmîn.
