(Explanation of the insignificance of this world in the sight of Allah) If this world were equal to the wing of a mosquito *** the Lord would not give a drink of it to one who commits disbelief, but it is, by Allah, more insignificant in His sight *** than that
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"If this world were equal to the wing of a mosquito *** the Lord would not give a drink of it to one who commits disbelief"
As it came in the hadith:Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34:97 because the disbeliever is not its people, even though Allah bestows upon the disbeliever in this world, because it is nothing in the sight of Allah.
"But it is, by Allah, more insignificant in His sight *** than that wing which is short in flight"
More insignificant in the sight of Allah than the wing of a mosquito, yes. And for this reason, you find that when a person prays the two rak'ahs of Fajr, that becomes better than this world and what is in it, all of this world from its creation until it perishes; these two rak'ahs are better than it. How much time do the two rak'ahs take? Five minutes with the wudu', five minutes with the wudu', five minutes equal to the entire world from its beginning to its end. So this world is not worth anything in the sight of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
