assalaam wa 'alaikum my brothers and sisters,
i would just like to share with you a hadith about the love of this material world:
the prophet (saw) said : "a time will come when the kaafir nations will invite each other , just as people are invited towards meals, in order to annihilate you."someone asked ,"o rasulullah (saw) will their boldness to do so be on account of us being smaller in number? rasulullah replied,"no, in fact your numbers will be great, but despite that you will be like a twig in flood waters. allaah will remove fear from the hearts of the enemy, 9 your enemy will not fear you)while he will create "wahan" in your hearts. someone enquired. " what is wahan" o rasulullah?" he replied, "love for this world and hate for death."
the love for this world has made us indifferenttowards halaal and haraam, and we are extremely coward in the face of death. despite our large numbers the kuffar have the upperhand over us.
hope insha allaah you liked it.
your sister,
khadeeja.
