Assalamualaykum Companions,
We hope you are doing well in both eeman and health.
Okay, so how does one gain the world and lose the soul? Does this mean that you are so distracted by the Dunya that you forget to nourish your soul? Does it mean you are too concerned with worldly matters that you forget your Akhirah? Does it mean that you gain all the materialistic goals but lose out on your spiritual goals?
Yes, it could mean all this and more. But how do you know whether you are headed in the right direction or not? How does one make sure that they gain closeness to the Creator without losing out on Dunya? |
