i read some posts of yasmin mogahed inlcuding the stab poetry. Her writing skills and choice of words to put emphasis or invoke thought is impressive.

This article started as something very obvious but gradually developed into one of the best i have read and as always she ends it with a great moral.

This is a matter of priority and sense of proportion.Yes. A momin’s life of this world is also beautiful if it is lived giving priority always to al-Akhirah over ad- dunya. There is beauty and peace and serenity in living in this world according to the commandments of Allah(SWT) and His Messenger(SAW).

Once again, Jazak’Allahu Khairan for the insight and beautiful explanation. This is something that is often on my mind – how non-believers seem to enjoy this world “to the max” so-to-speak. While we can still enjoy within the limits of Allah’s rules and regulations, I love how that in Islam, death is the actual beginning and not the end, others may fear this transition; maybe it’s because they don’t think there is anything following this life or that because they don’t have a belief system, or they don’t have that higher goal to reach, as they are just after the fruits of this Dunya. Just my thoughts.

This is a really beautiful article and take on the Haddith. I really wouldn’t have interpreted that haddith any better than what you noted in the first paragraph. Thanks for the wonderful article!

umm what about the christian and Jewish disbelievers….aren’t they also looking to go to heaven ? why would they consider this world their jannah then ? , yet they try to make Dunia a paradise too…I believe there are some fallacies in this article…tread carefully.
