content which pours satisfaction into our hearts however meager it is that we have. The Prophet, Peace and Blessing be upon him, says: " Richness lies not in abundance of wealth, money or possessions. It rather lies in the contentment of souls "…The Prophet also says: " Look at those beneath you and not at those above you (in rank) so as not to belittle Allah’s blessings on you… " The Prophet’s words: "Richness lies not in abundance of wealth, money or possessions"… are most truthful in these days. For now a lot of people own palaces and wealth and lead a very luxurious life. However, they lead a miserable life and suffer from depression and frustration. Some of them even put an end to their life and commit suicide, Allah forbid. 

 

                 Nowadays, people are jostling for the pleasures of the world life as butterflies hover around fire just to get burnt. Many are those who collect money through legal and illegal means. Yet this money adds to their misery both in this life and in the Hereafter. Those are gasping in their pursuit of a mirage and fake glitter. Thus, they come back empty-handed and all they get of this pursuit is psychological ailments and dissatisfaction with everything in this life. And in the course of this pursuit, they just forget all about the other life; the everlasting one. On seeing any of the pleasures of this life or its attractions, the Prophet used to say: " By Allah, there is no living but in the Hereafter". In this regard, Allah Almighty says:  

 [ Nay, you prefer the life of this world, * Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.]( Al-Ala:16-17) .
