The love of the world and its lusts are the head of sins and the corruptors of religion, and the one who loves and loves them who prefers them over the hereafter is one of the most pitiful of creation, and the least intelligent of them, as he prefers imagination over reality, sleep over wakefulness, fleeting shadow over eternal bliss and the mortal abode over the eternal abode, and he sold the life of eternity for the most luxurious life. In life, it is dreams and sleep or as a fleeting shadow, and as it was said: The intelligent person is not deceived.
The reason for choosing this topic is due to two things:
The first: When I contemplated the reasons for the differences and conflicts that afflicted our wounded and occupied country with their various causes and the multiplicity of their aspects, I found them to be no more than the adornment of the life of this world and the love of its desires and its preference over heaven and its bliss, whether that is inside or outside, and the same is true for our Islamic world.
Hence I say that if the sons of our nation want to return to their former glory - as they were - then they must first liberate themselves from the bondage of worldly love and its lusts, so that they are sincere servants of God, not for women, children, accumulated wealth, not for branded horses, cattle or tillage except within the limits of obedience to God. The Companions of the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, were a living example of cohesion, fraternity, altruism, achieving the interest of the nation and giving it priority over everything else in every aspect of their lives. No ear has heard, nor has it occurred to a human heart.
The second matter: the loss of the link between the knowledge of the nation and what it is obligated to do. What we see today and hear in our painful reality is contrary to the way of life, as we learn only to learn, not learn to work, and God Almighty informs us and says: It is most hateful to God that you say what you do not do () .
