No Comfort in Dunya but in Akhirah

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 06:32). Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, ‘Wa Lalddāru l-‘Ākhiratu Khayrun Lilladhīna Yattaqūn’, ‘But the home of the Hereafter is best for those who are pious.’ While walking yesterday, one of the shopkeepers asked, “What will be the condition of this world? What will happen to us?” Since the time when Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam and sent him down to earth, this has been the condition of the world. Everyone has something to carry. No one can be in comfort in this world.

This world, its name speaks for itself – Dunya. ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam, our great father, came down from paradise. Paradise is comfortable. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla didn’t send ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam down to earth to be in comfort. He ﷻ sent him to be tested because of the mistake he made. And until he repented and regretted it, he spent hundreds of years in regret. He came down to this world from that abundant beauty. He suffered in this world. And eventually, he returned to his Lord. In Akhirah, he will be in paradise again.

This world is a place of tests for believers, for everyone. No one should think that they will be in comfort in this world. Comfort is in Akhirah. ‘ ’, ‘Wa Lalddāru l-‘Ākhiratu Khayrun Lilladhīna Yattaqūn’, ‘But the home of the Hereafter is best for those who are pious.’ (Qur’ān 06:32). To a person who believes in Allah ﷻ, loves Allah ﷻ and obeys Allah ﷻ, the Akhirah is a good place. If he doesn’t do so, he will have no goodness here and hereafter. This world with all its sufferings will be better than Akhirah for Kafirs, faithless people, sinners and polytheists. With all its sufferings, Dunya will be better for them. But for believers, Akhirah will be better.

www.hakkani.org As we said, this world is not paradise. Paradise is in Akhirah. Therefore, there will be troubles and things like that. Troubles are beneficial for believers. With or without troubles, it is beneficial for believers, says our Holy Prophet ﷺ regarding Mu’mins. And if there are troubles, they will be rewarded for them. Their rewards will be even more and their ranks will be higher in Akhirah. If they are in comfort in Dunya, they will be in comfort in Akhirah as well.

Kafirs and unbelievers are making up all kinds of things now. May Allah ﷻ protect us, even children and youngsters are losing faith and don’t believe in Akhirah. They will have troubles in Dunya and even bigger troubles in Akhirah. At least, they should not turn their troubles in Dunya into loss. They should turn them into benefit. We have suffered so much. Suffering for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ will pay off, and the suffering which is not for Allah ﷻ will go in vain. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ give strength to our Iman. May Allah ﷻ reward us here and hereafter insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
