Main Teachings:
● This saying of the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) instructs Muslims that in this
world they have to live their lives according to Allah’s law and thereby, follow the
limitations imposed by Islam as to what is permissible and what is not.
● The teachings of this Hadith is that disbelievers may be granted by Allah all that they
desire in this world, but may get nothing in the Hereafter. They may be compensated
for their good deeds and be given the opportunity to enjoy this world fully but may
get nothing beyond that.
● A believer on the other hand may or may not be blessed with much in this world but
even on the lowest level of Paradise will be granted all that his/her heart desires.
● It is to gain this reward that, just as a prisoner does not make the prison his home,
the believer never sees this world as his home, but as a temporary dwelling full of
trials until he reaches his final destination in Jannah. Prophet Muhammad said,
“This world is cultivating ground for the hereafter.”
Actions:
● By following the path, prescribed by Allah and being mindful of the attractions of this
world, Muslims can live a life that will lead them to paradise.
● The Quraish in order to dissuade Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) from his mission
had offered him great wealth, marriage to the most beautiful woman in the land, and
were even ready to practice his faith if he would follow theirs, but he refused it all. He
continued to follow the path prescribed by Allah and to preach the message of
Tauheed, the Oneness of Allah.
● Muslim must follow the Prophet's example by practicing honesty and by rejecting all
types of temptations and bribes. Acquisition of wealth and worldly possessions
should not be the main aim of their lives; rather they should strive for the eternal
rewards of the Hereafter.
● The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) said, “Live in this world as if you were a
stranger or a wayfarer.” A passerby or wayfarer does not make a strange place
his/her home as the real destination is a better place Paradise.
