Shadee Elmasry – Sacrifice Dunya for Deen
AI: Summary ©
The speaker discusses the goal of religion, which is to build a damsque on solid grounds rather than to sacrifice one's life for a better future. The speaker argues that the goal is to establish a damsque on a foundation that does not interfere with one's afterlife, rather that Islam's desire is to have a damsque that is established on a foundation that does not interfere with one's life.

We're expected to sacrifice our dunya for the
din. The purpose for that is to rebuild
the dunya properly.
Why is it that the early Muslims had
to sacrifice so much for their deen, but
later Muslims didn't? So the Sahaba, like, lost
their homes. It is not that Allah wishes
to take away your dunya. It's rather he
wishes for it to be built on solid
grounds. It's as if saying the foundation of
this home is no good, so we have
to tear down the whole building to rebuild
it better. That's why. So it has nothing
to do with the idea that it's so
noble to to have no dunya
and to suffer. No. That's not the goal
of religion. That's not Allah's will for us.
Allah's will for us is to have a
dunya that is established on the proper foundation,
a foundation that does not etch away
at your afterlife.
