The Condition of the Believer and the Hypocrite with the World
Al-Hasan, may God have mercy on him, said: Verily, the believer is wise, he looks and sees, contemplates and considers, then deliberately destroys his world, and builds his hereafter, and does not destroy his hereafter to build his world, and that remained his work until he met his Lord, so He was pleased with him and satisfied him, and the hypocrite deliberately competes for his world, and is blind to his hereafter, he takes the world as a god, woe to him! Was he created for it? Or was he commanded to collect it? The deceived will know on the day when {THE CRIMINALS WILL BE RECOGNIZED BY THEIR MARKS, AND THEY WILL BE GRIPPED BY THE FORELOCKS AND THE FEET}
