The Sound Thinking of This Life
That man should consider the wealth, authority and materialistic capabilities as only means for accomplishing good deeds for the world to come. In fact, this world is not to be condemned for itself, rather commending or condemning should be directed to the accomplishments of the slave. This world is only a bridge leading to the world to come, and a source of supply for reaching Jannah ( the Heavenly Garden). The best of joys which the people of Jannah gain is only a result of what they have planted in this world. This world is the abode of Jihad (fighting in the cause of Allah), prayer, fasting and expending in the cause of Allah, and a field of racing for good deeds. Allah the Exalted will say to the people of Jannah:
“Eat and Drink joyfully because of the good deeds you did in the days gone by.” [ Surah 69:24]
