The Position of One Whom the World Turns Toward After It Had Turned Away
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What should one do if the world turns toward him after it had turned away, and he fears for himself from its turning toward him? How does a person reconcile the world with the Hereafter?
Answer:
If the world turns toward him through lawful means, this is a trial and a test without doubt. However, he should increase his spending in charity, spending in the cause of Allah, and alms, because this is an opportunity that Allah has brought to him and enabled him to do so. Let him be among those who spend in the cause of Allah and give alms, do good, lend to those in need, and be generous to those who are in difficulty.
