From the book: Essential Q&As about Eemaan (p.58-63)
The
believer scoffs at the materialistic fancies of this worldly life, as he is
focused on the delight of repenting to Allaah, and turning completely to Him
alone. With this, he takes an ample share of worldly delights and enjoys them,
but not as the disbelievers or heedless ones do. He indulges in them in a way
that assists him in establishing the Rights of Allaah and the rights of His
servants.
By
contenting himself in this way and hoping for the reward from Allaah, the
believer fulfills his desires, his heart rests peacefully, and he finds
tranquility. He does not become saddened if some affairs reach him that he does
not like. With this, Allaah has combined for him the happiness of this worldly
life and the happiness of the Hereafter.
As
for the heedless disbeliever, then his affair is not like this. He denies the presence
and perfection of His Great Lord, that which is established by way of both
intellectual and textual proofs, as well as scientific facts and findings. He
does not pay any mind to these things.
As
he cuts himself off from Allaah by not acknowledging Him and not worshipping
Him, the disbeliever attaches his self to things found in nature and worships
them. Thus, his heart becomes similar to the hearts of grazing animals.
