Discussion on Balancing Life and Faith

“He is not one of us who abandons his Hereafter for his worldly life, nor one who

abandons worldly life for his Hereafter.” If you abandon the Hereafter for the sake of

who had set aside his wife, his life, his home, and everything else,

and devoted himself to worship. He said: “O little enemy of yourself,

you are being hostile toward yourself.

He has brought forth

for His servants, and the good things of provision?”
