HOW TO GAIN INNER PEACE? 23

DUNYA CAN ALSO BE A MEANS TO MAKE AAKHIRAH (HEREAFTER) BETTER


After narrating this story Sheikh Sa’adi RE says that when the love of material wealth takes over a person then he becomes so preoccupied with it that he starts neglecting everything else. This is the love of Dunya that has been forbidden. If a person does not have such all-consuming love for Dunya, then if Allah Ta’alah grants him material wealth, and that wealth does not get in the way of him carrying out the duties bestowed upon him by Allah Ta’alah, and the person uses it to earn Allah Ta’alah’s pleasure and approval, then such wealth is not Dunya, rather it is a vehicle for the Aakhirah.
