Sometimes when I see peoples love for money and material things or are very cheap, it literally makes me sick. They can't bring these things with them to the akhirah.
What do you desire in Duniya?
- Thread starter Seeking Allah's Mercy
- Start date
Assalaam walaikum,
The Prophet Suleiman supplicated to Allah that no other ruler have the vast riches and greatness he was given. He knew the trials of the riches.
No, you can be rich. That is your trial on earth. What do you do with your riches rich man, what do you do. A three million dollar yacht filled with blondes is one that makes me scratch my little head. A silver Mercedes and you have the nerve to pose with it.
No, you can be poor. That is your trial on earth. One step away from poverty. How do you hold on to your faith, brother, when the easy way out is calling you. Do not begrudge the rich man for his wealth and luxury.
It falls back on the intention. We are to desire from the duyna a good life so we can do good deeds and give back to Allah. Allah desires that we worship Him under all conditions.
What I desire from the duyna is the ability to say no. The ability to carry out my intention that which is with Allah is better. The duyna is very appealing. Faith gives us the courage to say..oh how good is this but let me check out what Allah wishes for me to do with all that He has given me.

Seeking Allah's Mercy
Qul HuwaAllahu Ahud!
Asalamoalaikom wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh,
Jazakallah khair for everyone who replied.
This thread is neither questioning and nor is it saying not to gain wealth. All it's trying to convey is not to love wealth and everything that is only related to Duniya. Work hard and stive in duniya to compete with it for Aakhira. Be a Billionaire but live poor. Live Simple! Hate being materialistic, competitive for status, name and wealth. Be like the Prophet of Allaah
, like Abu Bakr wa Umer was Uthman wa 'Ali (May Allaah be pleased with them), Be like Abu Dhardaa and Musaab Ibn Umair. They were Kings and Governers. See how they lived. They truly were the Kings and Governers because they not only ruled and governed the Duniya but the Akhira too.
We claim to love them all, we claim to desire Jannah like them. But do we?
Thus the title: What do you desire in Duniya. The thread is just a reminder from the Quraan and Sunnah.
You are free to disagree. Everyone has their way of thinking. However, please don't debate here Inshaa'Allaah. (I know no one intends to but just saying)

I believe that this dunya is a test. A test to see who will become who they are supposed to be. A test to see who will make the effort to become a better person. That's ultimately what the goal is, to become a better person before you die.

JazakAllahu khayr sister, and ameen to your duas!
I just wanted to say, this is a great thread. We need more threads like this.
Seeking Allah's Mercy
Qul HuwaAllahu Ahud!
Asalamoalaikom wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh,
Woe to every Humazah Lumazah.
Al-Hammaz refers to (slander) by speech, and Al-Lammaz refers to (slander) by action.
This means that the person finds fault with people and belittles them. An explanation of this has already preceded in the discussion of Allah's statement,
هَمَّازٍ مَّشَّآءِ بِنَمِيمٍ
Hammaz, going about with slander (68:11)
Ibn Abbas said,
"Humazah Lumazah means one who reviles and disgraces (others).''
Mujahid said,
"Al-Humazah is with the hand and the eye, and Al-Lumazah is with the tongue.''
Then Allah says,
الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ ﴿٢﴾
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
meaning, he gathers it piling some of it on top of the rest and he counts it up.
This is similar to Allah's saying,
وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَى (And collect (wealth) and hide it.) (70:18)
This was said by As-Suddi and Ibn Jarir.
Muhammad bin Ka`b said concerning Allah's statement, جَمَعَ مَالاً وَعَدَّدَهُ (gathered wealth and counted it).
"His wealth occupies his time in the day, going from this to that. Then when the night comes he sleeps like a rotting corpse.''
Then Allah says,
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ ﴿٣
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
meaning, he thinks that gathering wealth will make him last forever in this abode (the worldly life).
[yt]AvdVToA1hgE[/yt]
﴾وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ ﴿١ Woe to every Humazah Lumazah.
Al-Hammaz refers to (slander) by speech, and Al-Lammaz refers to (slander) by action.

Seeking Allah's Mercy
Qul HuwaAllahu Ahud!
كَلَّا...
But no!
meaning, the matter is not as he claims, nor as he reckons.
Then Allah says,
...لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ ﴿٤﴾
Verily, he will be thrown into Al-Hutamah.
meaning, the person who gathered wealth and counted it, will be thrown into Al-Hutamah, which is one of the descriptive names of the Hellfire. This is because it crushes whoever is in it.
Thus, Allah says,
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ ﴿٥﴾
نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ ﴿٦﴾
الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ ﴿
And what will make you know what Al-Hutamah is?
The fire of Allah, Al-Muqadah, which leaps up over the hearts.
Thabit Al-Bunani said,
"It will burn them all the way to their hearts while they are still alive.''
Then he said,
"Indeed the torment will reach them.''
Then he cried.
Muhammad bin Ka`b said,
"It (the Fire) will devour every part of his body until it reaches his heart and comes to the level of his throat, then it will return to his body.''
Concerning Allah's statement,
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ ﴿
Verily, it shall Mu'sadah upon them.
meaning, covering, just as was mentioned in the Tafsir of Surah Al-Balad (see 90:20).
Then Allah says,
فِي عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ ﴿
In pillars stretched forth.
Atiyah Al-`Awfi said, "Pillars of Iron.''
As-Suddi said, "Made of fire.''
Al-`Awfi reported from Ibn `Abbas,
"He will make them enter pillars stretched forth, meaning there will be columns over them, and they will have chains on their necks, and the gates (of Hell) will be shut upon them.''
This is the end of the Tafsir of Surah Al-Humazah, and all praise and thanks are due to Allah.
But no!
meaning, the matter is not as he claims, nor as he reckons.

...لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ ﴿٤﴾

Seeking Allah's Mercy
Qul HuwaAllahu Ahud!
Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, radhiallaahu `anhu, narrated that someone asked Abu-d-Dardaa’, radhiallaahu `anhu, to advise him, he replied: "Remember Allaah when you are comfortable, He will remember you when you are in difficulty, and when you set your eyes upon something in this world, think about how it will end!"
Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, radhiallaahu `anhu, also narrated that Abu-d-Dardaa’, radhiallaahu `anhu, used to say, "Woe unto him, and what an agony is awaiting one who cares only about amassing money in this world! Woe unto him who opens his mouth agape and drools at hearing the sound of money, who looks aghast, just like an idiot when he thinks about it, who stares at what people have, and who does not see what he has; and if he could, he would pursue such an obsession by day and night. Woe unto him! What an austere reckoning and a grievous punishment are awaiting him!"

AssalaamuAlaikum wa rehamatullahi wa barakatuhu,
Just thought would share this saying by Hazrat Ali(RA) -
This is in Urdu -
" Doulat Mitti Ki Tarha Hai Aur Mitti Ko Pair Ke Niche Rehna Chahiye. Agar Sir Pe Charhaoge To Qabar Ban Jayegi Aur Qabar Zinda Insano Ke Liye Nahi Hoti.. "
Translation - " Wealth/Money is like sand and sand should be below one's legs. If you keep it on your head, then it becomes your grave and Graves are not for humans who are alive.. "
Peace.

salam i agree 100% . For some reason i was raised with the belief that attaining wealth for a muslim is next to a sin. money is an important factor in our lives you see its the societies with the least money that have the highest crime rates. and on a more personal level I also want to be financially free someday so that my parents and family never have to worry about money again iA

What Do I desire?
Copied others bucketlist. Shortlisted them, and probed what it leads to.
The only standout item is - "I desire a confirmation of hereafter's(Akhira) Green signal, while in duniya"
