Combining the Pursuit of This World and the Hereafter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our Shaykh, it is mentioned in a hadith that whoever pursues this world harms the hereafter Is it possible for a person to combine the two, the pursuit of this world and the hereafter?
Answer:
Yes,[Al-Baqarah 2:201] he seeks this world and uses it to help him with the hereafter. He does not abandon this world and seek only the hereafter, nor does he seek only this world and abandon the hereafter. Rather, he combines them. You see in this a turning back.
Our Shaykh, it is mentioned in a hadith that whoever pursues this world harms the hereafter
And whoever pursues the hereafter harms this world.
ومن طلب الآخرة أضر بالدنياAnswer:
Yes,
Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً
