Pleasure From Transitory Things

 

Having interest in deadly things (L-367) 

  زُيِّنَ لِلنّاسِ حُبُّ الشَّهَواتِ مِنَ النِّساءِ وَالبَنينَ وَالقَناطيرِ المُقَنطَرَةِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالفِضَّةِ وَالخَيلِ المُسَوَّمَةِ وَالأَنعامِ وَالحَرثِ ۗ ذٰلِكَ مَتاعُ الحَياةِ الدُّنيا ۖ وَاللَّهُ عِندَهُ حُسنُ المَآبِ14. 

14.  Zuyyina  linnaasi  hubbush-shahawaati  minan-nisaaa-‘i  wal-baniina  wal-qanaatiiril- muqan-tarati  minazzahabi  wal-fizzati  wal-khay-lil- musawwamati  wal-‘an-‘aami  wal-hars.  Zaalika  mataa-‘ul-hayaatid-dunyaa.  WAllaahu  ‘indaHuu  husnul-ma-‘aab.         

14.  Adorned for the people is the love of desires, such as women, and children, and piles upon piles of gold and silver, and branded horses, and livestock, and fields. These are the conveniences of the worldly life, but with God lies the finest resort.

  

God has affirmed that some worldly things have attraction from His Side naturally for the human being. Mankind likes these things very much. But many people involve themselves into them so much that they forget their Creator, their Lord. There is no sin in itself to value these things. These are compulsory things for living in the world. It is not bad to reap benefit from them but care is necessary that inclination towards them should not be more than necessity. Because by doing so the human being will become overjoyed into them. Slowly and gradually he will consider them purpose of life and forget his goal. He will miss the right path. 

It must be borne in mind that these things are transitory. These are useful only in the world. Relationship with them will be cut off immediately after death. Therefore, one should arrange also for the Day of Resurrection by keeping them at their correct place. Real Abode is there (after death) and permanence is for that life. https://youtu.be/aOK3ivab004
