00:00How many hours do they spend for dunyā and how many hours for ākhirah?
00:04If you seek dunyā for eight hours, then do so for ākhirah.
00:11In Sūratu l-aʿlā, Allah says
00:26But you prefer the worldly life
00:30You see, those who always say
00:40But look at the reality of their life. Really?
00:44Can they balance the dunyā and the ākhirah?
00:47How many hours do they spend for dunyā and how many hours do they spend for ākhirah?
00:54One can sit in his office from eight to four hours
00:58But they sit in a ḥalqah after maghrib.
01:01They will glance at their watch every few minutes
01:05Saying this ḥalqah takes too long
01:09But the ḥalqah has just started, right?
01:12So speak of balance, you must really balance the two
01:17If you seek dunyā for eight hours, then do so for al-ākhirah
01:22Can you do that?
01:28Yes, that is the fact
01:32So many people say they can balance the two, end up doing the compulsories only
01:38However, if it is about their dunyā, their work, they even insist to do it overtime
01:45Can you work overtime till tomorrow?
01:47Yes, sir, count me in
01:50So as long as I get paid
01:53They don't think twice
01:55Are you ready to do ḥalqah till fajr?
01:58Um, sorry ustad, I've got to work tomorrow
02:01Mā shā'a Llāh, they're not ready to work overtime for ākhirah
02:05Why?
02:06Because there's no immediate reward for it
