Those who have carefully studied the life of this world, they spend their days as if they know that they are Travellers here who have to leave a place that is famine-stricken, unwholesome, and (often) unfriendly. They know that they have to proceed towards lands (of the next world) which are fertile,
congenial, where there are abundant provisions, comforts, and pleasures. They have eagerly embarked on the Journey. They feel happy, cherishing the hope of future blessings and (eternal) peace. They have willingly accepted the sufferings, troubles, and the hazards of the way (in this world), the parting with friends, scarcity of food, and lack of comfort during the journey (in this world), so that they may reach the destination (Paradise), a happy place. They do not resent bearing hardships, and they do not begrudge
giving charity and assistance to the poor and the needy.
Each step they take towards their goal, tiring and exhausting as it may be, is a happy event in their lives.
On the contrary, the people who are attached to this world are sadly engulfed in its short-lived, fast fading, and depraved pleasures. They are like travellers who are in a fertile and happy region and they know that the journey they have to undertake will lead them to an arid and infertile land. Could anything
be more loathsome and abhorrent than the journey of theirs?
Nothing in this world is (truly) useful to you, unless it has some utility and value in the next world. If you lament over things that you have lost in this world, then worry much more about the loss of things of eternal benefit (in the Hereafter). Your past, and with it most of what was in your possession, has departed from you. All that is in your possession at present will also leave you (upon your death).For the believers who love Allah, the Munajat is a form of communication with their Lord which gives peace and solace to the hearts.#lifeofthisworld​,​ #ImamAli​​, #ThePeakofEloquence​,​ #realityoflifeinthisworld​​, #life​​, #GurarAlHikam​,​​ #NahjulBalagah​,​ #forthelifeoftheworld​,​ #world​,​ #thislifeisatest​,​ #purposeoflife​,
