Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman

“ Thus, evade yourself from the need of material things while living in this world, just as a wild duck lives in water but does not drown in it. Get your destiny from the world, as if a crane while living on a riverside gets its livelihood from it but does not let itself drown into it. Do your business of the world but for the sake of Allah; eat the livelihood of the world but for the sake of Allah; and move in the world but again for Allah. I do not ask to be alienated from the whole world but you must remember Allah while doing all your actions. ”

“ If you have wealth but you do not foster love for it and spend generously for the sake of Allah then it cannot be called worldliness. However, if you would make the worldly things as your compulsion then all these things will turn into your worldliness. ”

“ The heart which possesses love of the world is veiled from the hereafter and the heart which possesses love of the hereafter is veiled from Allah. As love of the world goes on increasing in your heart, love of the hereafter is decreased and when the love of the hereafter is increased in your heart, the Love of Allah would be decreased. ”
