Living for the Hereafter 30
A wise person is one who keeps a watch over his desires and passions, withholds himself from that which is harmful and strives for that which will be of benefit after death;
– Quoted by Tirmizi on the authority of Abu Y‘ala bin Shaddad bin Aus(R.A.).
Living for the World 30
and a foolish person is one who submits to the cravings and desires of his ego-self, and (then) asks God (for their fulfillment).
– Quoted by Tirmizi on the authority of Abu Y‘ala bin Shaddad bin Aus(R.A.)
