What is Dunya?
"The word Dunya encompasses many things, but in general the cosmic, earthly world is the exact opposite of the eternal spiritual life of life. That is, the word Dunya means 'closer' or 'less'."
For that matter, the world has no concerns about land or ownership. We as humans should accept to love the world.
And there is no problem in loving the world. It is possible in every way to protect our lives and continue worship. It is a blessing for us and a way of thanking our Creator.
Length of love in the world
The problem comes when the world is transformed into a goal rather than a goal. Using everything in the world, the world or the mind where we are for a while should be avoided with the ultimate goal of making Allah happy.
Our desire is not to be as rich, powerful, or comfortable as possible in this life. This life is the only way afterlife, and everything we do in this world will determine our position in Allah. Allah knows how we forget the place of the world in the resurrection journey. He says in the Quran:
But you want a worldly life, then better and lasting. (87: 16-7)
Instead of using the world as our true purpose (to please Allah), we begin to pursue it for the sake of the world, which is when our priorities are mixed. We begin to suffer from a serious spiritual illness.
The Prophet (PBUH) once said while standing in front of his companions:
"What I fear for you is not poverty, but what I fear for you is that the world (world) will be given to you as it was given to those before you, and then you will compete for it, you Will be destroyed, ”and so on. "(Ibn Maja)
Like a physical illness that destroys the body, like a spiritual disease that destroys the soul. When we place worldly love before the love of Allah, diseases like greed, pride, gratitude, jealousy, ego begin to dominate our hearts and destroy our lives.
Directing Children
Kids have a characteristic love of Allah. Also, it is not difficult to support this adoration in them.
Yet, when they are mature enough to handle visual boost and voice their needs, they are barraged with notices outfitted at them, persuading them that they need the best in the class toy, piece of clothing, or nibble available. Furthermore, this is the place where the fight ground for the heart starts.
Fortunately, as guardians, you can do a ton to ensure the affection for Allah prevails upon the adoration for Dunya in the hearts and brains of your kids.
Utilize their fixation on getting that brilliant and sparkling new toy as a workable second. Inform them regarding youngsters who could just dream about having all that they have.
Battling a lot of Love of Dunya as Adults
As grown-ups, we actually succumb to similar snares we did as youngsters. The ads might be more refined and our companions may have greater toys to entice us to contend, yet it is no different either way.
Additionally, the remedy for this infection of an excess of affection for the Dunya is something very similar.
At the point when we need the best in class "toy" and become fixated on it and feel like we can't live without it, we can look to the individuals who have short of what us. Allah's Messenger (harmony arrive) said:
Take a gander at the individuals who remain at a lower (monetary) level than you however don't take a gander at the individuals who remain at a more significant level than you, for this would make the kindnesses (gave upon you by Allah) unimportant (in your eyes). (Muslim)
At the point when we want to rival others in material abundance or assets - things that won't help you even a little in the great beyond - supplant that opposition with opposition in great deeds and acquiring strict information - things that will construct chateaus and nurseries for us in the great beyond.
At the point when the Prophet Muhammad (harmony arrive) was found out if the section in the Quran:
Furthermore, the individuals who give whatever they (need to) give while their hearts are shaking. (23:60) alluded to individuals who submitted sins, he answered:
No. They are the individuals who quick, supplicate and give noble cause while expecting that (these deeds) may not be acknowledged (by God). They are the individuals who rival each other in great deeds. (Ibn Majah)
The key is to comprehend that Allah doesn't deny our motivations. He urges us to divert them to something better.
Advise yourself that all that you do in this Dunya should be possible for the love of Allah, on the off chance that you simply have the correct aims.
Furthermore, say:
To be sure, my supplication, my administration of penance, my living, and my withering are for Allah, Lord of the universes.' (6:162)
