- Take Account of Yourself Before You Are Taken Account of
Allaah (subhana wa ta'ala) said in His Book : Know that this Dunya, this worldly life is nothing but play and amusement and nothing but beauty; and boasting between men and rivalry in wealth and children.
In this Ayah Allaah (subhana wa ta'ala) tells us about the attributes of this world, attributes which many of us fail to recognize.
This world is La'abun, it is play and amusement and beauty which many people chase. And Allaah (subhana wa ta'ala) tells us in another ayah emphasizing this fact: Don't let this dunya, this worldly life fool you.. and don't let it fool you is being emphasized. And don't let the devil fool you about your Lord.. Don't let the devil fool you about your Lord Yaa Aiyyuhal Mumin for which he strives day and night to make you forget the reality of this world you are living in. Know O'Mumin that the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said concerning the Hellfire : The Hellfire is surrounded by your desires, surrounded by women, surrounded by wealth, surrounded by pride and Paradise is surrounded by what?? Paradise is surrounded by undesirable things.
Wallahi, and By Allaah this Duny, this world is more worthless to Allaah (subhana wa ta'ala) , more worthless to Allaah than this dead animal is to you. . This world is deceiving you. This world plays games with the minds of Insan. This world will mock you into believing that it will last forever and as Allaah (subhana wa ta'ala) tells us : This worldly life is nothing but a deceiving enjoyment. It is deceiving because it will end. Deceiving because if you don't act as you are being commanded and know that the threat of the punishment of Allaah (subhana wa ta'ala) is upon you.
