			And other words will never catch the dunya. So anyone who's obsessed with chasing the world is
excess obsessed with something that will only be a source of great, great frustration because we
will never catch the dunya if you get the house that you want, you'll think you've caught the dunya
until you see someone with a bigger or nicer house. If you get the car you want. You get your
Mercedes and you think you've caught the dunya until you see someone with a Bentley and say what was
what was that? Oh, that's a Bentley. That's what the real rich people drive. And then you're no

will experience death. Each and every one of us is inescapable. So we need to prepare for our death.
		

			We need to prepare for our death by making sure that we do good in this world. Mmm Ali is also
related as saying
		

			menza he menza fit dunya Han attalla Masri that whoever divorces their hearts away from this world,
the calamities of the world become easy to deal with. Because we understand this the nature of the
world on the one hand, and on the other hand, our hearts aren't attached to it.

death, hastens to good deeds, because he or she knows number one, when the death comes, there's no
more opportunity for good and the to create a balance within us. On the one hand, our hearts are
attached to the world. And so we we come to not be overwhelmed by the losses, the frustrations, the

Because whatever good we receive whatever benefit we enjoy, whatever reward that accrues to us
because of something we might have done, is fleeting, is temporal. It is many times associated with
		

			grief. Sometimes it might be pleasure, but it's accompanied with pain and loss when that pleasure
goes away because there's no enduring pleasure The only enduring pleasure we know Assad to add idea
is in the next world. So we will be given our perfect and our just, there's no perfect justice in
