Guidance for the one who said: Abundance of provision is followed by a great punishment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from Yemen also asks: Does the meaning of abundance of provision being followed by a great punishment imply that it is a little enjoyment, then followed by a great punishment?
Answer:
The entire worldly life is a little enjoyment. The entire worldly life, Allah the Exalted said: [Surat al-Nisa: 77] And He the Exalted said: [Surat al-Tawbah: 38] Even if one possessed the wealth of Qarun and others like him, and others like him, and others like those, it is all little. But if he uses it to help in the obedience of Allah, and is generous with it toward the servants of Allah, that benefits him, even if it is little. He gives in charity, does good, establishes charitable projects, builds mosques, gives charity to the poor, and so on; that benefits him. Yes.
