[01/08/2025] Desiring the Hereafter Necessitates Abstinence from the Life of the World - By Shaykh Abu Fuḍayl ‘Abdur Raqīb حفظه الله. Khuṭbah at Masjid As-Sunnah An-Nabawiyyah, Aston, Birmingham, UK.

Some points discussed during this Khuṭbah:

- The reality of the dunyā and how we should view it in relation to the ākhirah. 

- The necessity of abandoning the dunyā for the one who truly desires the ākhirah. 

- Two affairs the slave must ponder upon in order to establish zuhd. 

- The nature of the dunyā. 

- The consequences of greedily striving for the dunyā. 

- The nearness of the ākhirah.

- The ākhirah in comparison to the dunyā.

- That which is necessitated by sound intellect. 

- The trials and temptations of the dunyā. 

- The reasons why a person would choose the dunyā over the ākhirah. 

- How the Messenger ﷺ and his Companions (رضى الله عنهم) viewed the dunyā. 

- “Verily the likeness of (this) worldly life is as the water (rain) which We send down from the sky, so by it arises the intermingled produce of the earth of which men and cattle eat until when the earth is clad with its adornments and is beautified, and its people think that they have all the powers of disposal over it, Our Command reaches it by night or by day and We make it like a clean-mown harvest, as if it had not flourished yesterday! Thus do We explain the āyāt in detail for the people who reflect. Allāh calls to the home of peace and guides whom He wills to a Straight Path.” [Sūrah Yūnus 10:24-25]

- The home we all wish to return to.

- Caution against beginning one’s da’wah with reviling the shaykh of the ignorant people.

- How the people viewed what took place between Shaykh Rabī’ and the Sūfī.

Questions:
1. What is your advice to an adult who looks around during the salāh?
2. How does one go about giving da’wah to those who blindly follow the madhhabs and other shaykhs, and is blind following permissible at any stage?
3. If a family member (uncle or auntie) holds beliefs like voting is kufr without restrictions and praying in masjids such as this one may invalidate their prayer, are they to be described as Ashābul-Bid’ah if the matters are clarified to them with precision and with the speech of the scholars?
4. What is the ruling of the one who is reading from the mushaf in the salāh and those who put their hands on one side covering their heart instead of placing it across the chest?
5. What is your advice to a young sister whose father would prefer for her to get married to someone in the family and she herself wants to get married to someone upon Salafiyyah? It is very difficult to reason with the father.
6. From my brothers is one who has stopped praying Fajr and he has started taking from the beard and has taken on western ideas such as the ‘law of attraction’. This morning other siblings followed him in missing the Fajr prayer despite me severely admonishing him in front of them with āyāt and hadīth. 
7. Question regarding the ruling of qaza’.
