Islam is the Final religion and one of the most important characteristics of this religion is that — it is a religion that regulates all aspects of life.Islam is the religion of this World and the Hereafter.

Allah says :“Say (O Muhammad): Verily, my Salah (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the ‘Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists)”. (Al-An’aam 6:162).

Work For the hereafter as if you are going to die tomorrow— A person who is traveling the path towards success and believes in life after death must hasten and rush towards doing works For the hereafter.

Islam is the complete, perfect, and comprehensive religion of Allah, which combines the rights of Allah and the rights of people and explains matters of this world and matters of the Hereafter.

Work For the world as if you were going to live Forever, and work For the Hereafter as if you are going to die tomorrow — Do not ask when we are going to die, but ask what will be our position after death.

Let us work together For this world and the Hereafter.

Allah(swt) says :And whoever desires the Hereafter and strives For it, with the necessary effort due For it (i.e. does righteous deeds of Allah’s Obedience) while he is a believer (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) - then such are the ones whose striving shall be appreciated, (thanked and rewarded by Allah). (Surah Israa — Verse 19)

On the authority of Ibn 'Umar(May Allah be pleased with him)who said: The Messenger of Allah(saw) took me by the shoulder and said: "Be in this world as though you were a stranger or a traveler/wayfarer."

Ibn 'Umar used to say: "When evening comes, do not expect (to live till) morning, and when morning comes, do not expect (to live till) evening. Take From your health (a preparation) For your illness, and From your life For your death." (Al-Bukhari)

There are many verses and Ahadith (Prophetic narrations) which urge the Muslims to develop the earth by means of agriculture and manufacturing. The Muslims understood that and hastened to strive to develop the earth without that affecting their worship and obedience to Allah — and without thinking that there was any conflict between religious and worldly interests.The only thing to avoid in this endeavour is anything that distracts the Muslim from his religious duties and obedience to his Lord.

It was narrated that Anas ibn Maalik (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “There is no Muslim who plants something and birds or people or animals eat From it, but he will have the reward of charity For it.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2195; Muslim, 1553)

Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar (May Allah have mercy on him) said:

This hadeeth points to the virtue of planting and Farming, and encourages us to develop the earth. From it we may understand that Farming and agriculture are encouraged. This is a refutation of those ascetics who rejected this idea. The reports which may be understood as discouraging Farming and agriculture should be interpreted as referring to cases where that distract Muslims From religious affairs, such as the marfoo’ hadeeth (report) of Ibn Mas’ood which says: “Do not acquire land (for farming) lest you become too attached to worldly matters.”

So the point is that— we should use the temporary life of this world and its Blessings to Succeed in the eternal life of the Hereafter.

May Allah(swt) make us successful in this life and the hereafter. (Ameen).
