PROPHETIC SAYING:
Abu Umamah reported that the Messenger of Allah said:-The worst of men in rank of the Resurrection will be a servant who abandoned his next world in exchange of a world other than that.(Ibne Majah).
EXPLATION:
Next world is eternal and never-ending and this world has got an end. And individual life also has got an end as we daily see around us. The action of our life in this world we judge in the next world and as result, men will enjoy or suffer. If eternal happiness can be earned, it is better than the short –lived happiness of world, if eternal suffering can be avoided by suffering a little in this world, it would be more judicious and sensible, but we who do not know the future after death prefer the temporary enjoyments of this world at the risk of the next. This is for want of belief in the unseen. This is for our thinking that a bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
Life of ProphetAnas bin malik narrates: While we were sitting with the Prophet in the mosque, a man came riding on a camel. He made his camel kneel down in the mosque, tied its foreleg and then said: “Who amongst you is Muhammad?” At that time the Prophet was sitting amongst us (his companions) learning on his arm .We replied, “This white man reclining on his arm.” The men then addressed him, “O Son of Abdul Muttalib.” The Prophet said, “I am here to answer your questions.” The mean said to the Prophet, “I want to ask you something and will be hard in questioning. So do not get angry.” The Prophet said, “Ask whatever you want. “The man said,” I ask you by your lord, and the lord of those who were before you, has Allah sent you as an Apostle to all the mankind?” The Prophet replied, “By Allah, yes.”The man further said,” I ask you by Allah has Allah has ordered you to offer five prayers in a day and night (24 hours)? He replied,”
