MATERIAL PURSUIT

Material Pursuit ~ 106 ~ MATERIAL PURSUIT You are distracted by worldly gain from the cradle to the grave. But no, you shall know. You shall before long come to know. Indeed, if you knew the truth with certainty, you would see the fire of Hell: you would see it with your very eyes. On that day, you shall be questioned about the pleasures you indulged in. (The Qur’an 102:1-8) Our world possesses a vast array of material things, which are attractive and give comforts of innumerable kinds. These are provided in this world to test man and are not intended for his pleasure. If man were to look at these things from the point of view of his being tested, he would avail of them only as a matter of necessity, and then too would use them with the utmost care and responsibility.
