🔰 The Intelligent Person Does Not Cling to this Material World
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
People cling to this worldly life because of the corruption in their hearts. The hearts of such people are completely centered around this life and they have no real desire for the hereafter. It is not possible in such hearts to implant the deeds that will lead to the hereafter. They remain firm in this material world while they are cut off from the hereafter. This is a kind of torment for them according to the degree to which they cling to this material world. Therefore, their desires remain stuck to it and a barrier is set between them and that which they desire, to the extent that they lose hope to enjoy their pleasure.
