Allah azza wa jal says in Surah, Allah, Bill to zero and it has to dunya would ask Allah to Hiram, that you prefer the life of this world human beings you prefer the life of this world. However, the hereafter is more everlasting, and it's better in quality. And so, any imagine someone who's homeless, and they're given two options between two residences, you can have a mansion, right in a beautiful Malibu mansion for a day for 24 hours. Or you can have a nice residence in, you know, Houston, Texas, or in Chicago, Illinois or anywhere else. And you can have that for the rest of your lives. The rational person would pick the house for the rest of their lives, some of you might be
thinking, I'll pick the house in Malibu for 24 hours, and I'm gonna invite all my friends over, I'm going to have a barbecue, and we're going to crash a swimming pool, and it's going to be one of those like movie type environments for 24 hours, I'm going to have the best day of my life. But then after that, immediately they're they're broken, they're back to being homeless. That's a bad decision. It hasn't been busted on the line. He says, if the hereafter if the dunya was was gold that was temporary. If it's a Malibu mansion that's temporary, if it's gold, that's temporary. And the asset was ceramic, it was like China that was that was permanent and everlasting. It would be it
would be required of the person who has intellect, sound judgment that they pick that which is everlasting over that which is temporary, and how much more so when Arthur is the Malibu mansion even better than the Malibu mansion, and it's forever and the dunya is the China that is temporary, how much more so is it incumbent is it required of the rational person to pick that which is golden, everlasting, over that which is temporary and of lesser quality?
