"You are only guests in this world and what you own is only a borrowed trust.
Eventually the guest will depart and the borrowed trust must be returned to
its rightful Owner."
- 'Abd Allah bin Mas'ud radia-Allahu'anhu -
Narrated Ummu Darda: 'Abdu Darda (ra) has said that Allah's messenger
(salla-Allahu'alayhi wa salam) said: "Free yourselves from the worries of the
world as much as you can, for whosoever treats his worries in this world as his
most serious concern, Allah, blessed be His name, will minimize his real loss
in his eyes, and He will cause his fear of poverty to broaden and to be
constant. On the other hand, whosoever regards the hereafter as his major
concern, Allah, blessed be His name, will group his immediate needs together to
become manageable, He will fill his heart with richness and broaden his
satisfaction and contentment. In fact, whenever a servant turns his heart
wholly towards his Lord, then Allah, blessed be His name, will cause the hearts
of His believing servants to flow towards him with love, kindness and mercy
while abundant divine blessings will flow towards him to serve his immediate
needs more swiftly."
"Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased
And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before
And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased."
{Ad-Dhuha, 93:3-5}
"How one lives today mirrors how he/she loves Allah, and
how one loves Allah mirrors how much Allah blesses his/her life."
- Wiyoso Hadi al-Jawi -
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
and taken off from you your burden,
which pressed heavily upon your back,
and exalted for you your esteem?
Surely with difficulty is ease.
With difficulty is surely ease.
So when you are free, nominate.
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
{Al-Inshirah, 94:1-8}
Narrated by 'Abd Rahman bin Yazid: 'Abd Allah bin Mas'ud (ra) once said to
his companions: "You fast, pray and recite more than the companions of Allah's
messenger (saw), yet they are better than you." Someone in the gathering asked:
"O Abu 'Abdur Rahman! Why is that?" He replied: "Because they were less
attached to this world than you and they were more desirous of the hereafter
than you."
"This world in comparison with the world to come is the same as if one of you
were to put his finger in the ocean. Consider how much you would have when you
pulled it out."
- Muhammad (salla-Allahu'alayhi wa salam) -
