Holding the World, When Dying Just Bringing Shroud
My brother and sister, we need to be aware and always remember that this world is only temporary. We should be aware that the world we are looking for with very difficult cannot be brought to our eternal village, the hereafter.
Ibn Sammak Muhammad bin Shubaih rahimahullah said,
هب الدنيا في يديك ، ومثلها ضم إليك ، وهب المشرق والمغرب يجيء إليك ، فإذا جاءك الموت ، فماذا في يديك
"Suppose that the world is in your hand and added more the same thing. Suppose the (treasury) east and west comes to you, but if death comes, what use is in your grasp? "
(Siyarul A'lam An-Nubala 8/330)
There are many verses in the Koran/Qur'an that remind us that the life of this world is only temporary. Let us not be negligent and deceived as if we would live in the world forever by gathering and accumulating vast amounts of wealth so as to neglect our afterlife.
Allah the Exalted says,
إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُم بِاللَّهِ الْغَرُورُ
" O mankind, fear your Lord and fear a Day when no father will avail his son, nor will a son avail his father at all. Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth, so let not the worldly life delude you and be not deceived about Allah by the Deceiver."
Allah also said,
ﻭَﻣَﺎ ﺍﻟْﺤَﻴَﺎﺓُ ﺍﻟﺪُّﻧْﻴَﺎ ﺇِﻟَّﺎ ﻣَﺘَﺎﻉُ ﺍﻟْﻐُﺮُﻭﺭِ
"Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion."
Allah also said,
اعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا لَعِبٌ وَلَهْوٌ وَزِينَةٌ وَتَفَاخُرٌ بَيْنَكُمْ وَتَكَاثُرٌ فِي الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَوْلَادِ كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَعْجَبَ الْكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهُ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَاهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ حُطَامًا وَفِي الْآَخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضْوَانٌ وَمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُورِ
" Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children - like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness from Allah and approval. And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion. "

If contemplated, it turns out that our real property is only three. Apart from that, it is not our property, even though the nature of it is ours in the world, because the MAJORITY of our true assets is only stacked and can NOT be us who enjoy, just possessed or COLLECTION.
The three true treasures that we enjoy, and even then enjoy only temporarily namely
1. The food we eat
Foods that are in the refrigerator are not necessarily those of us who enjoy everything. The food in the warehouse is not necessarily those of us who enjoy it all. The money we save to buy food is not necessarily the one we enjoy. When enjoying food, it is only a moment from our daily lives, just passing the tongue and throat for a while
2. The clothes we wear
Including the facilities we use such as shoes, vehicles and our homes. This is what we enjoy. But even this is temporary because clothing can be worn out while the house will be inherited
3. Alms
This is our true treasure, very useful later. This also passed briefly from our grasp in the world
The rest of the treasure that we blunt is not our property, we don't enjoy it or just enjoy a moment. For example, accumulate assets:
- There are two or three houses, which we enjoy mainly only one house
-The savings in banks are hundreds of millions or billions, which we enjoy only a little more we just save
- It has a large garden, has a large shop, we only enjoy a moment
This is what is meant by the hadith, only three true assets
The Messenger of Allaah 'alaihi wa sallam said,
ﺍﺑْﻦُ ﺁﺩَﻡَ ﻣَﺎﻟِﻰ ﻣَﺎﻟِﻰ - ﻗَﺎﻝَ - ﻭَﻫَﻞْ ﻟَﻚَ ﻳَﺎ ﺍﺑْﻦَ ﺁﺩَﻡَ ﻣِﻦْ ﻣَﺎﻟِﻚَ ﺇِﻻَّ ﻣَﺎ ﺃَﻛَﻠْﺖَ ﻓَﺄَﻓْﻨَﻴْﺖَ ﺃَﻭْ ﻟَﺒِﺴْﺖَ ﻓَﺄَﺑْﻠَﻴْﺖَ ﺃَﻭْ ﺗَﺼَﺪَّﻗْﺖَ ﻓَﺄَﻣْﻀَﻴْﺖَ
"Humans say, "My treasures. "He said," O people, do you really have wealth? Isn't what you eat will just disappear? Isn't the clothes you wear will also be worn out? Are that not what you give will pass away? "
(HR. Muslim no. 2958)
Another history (hadith),
ﺍﻟْﻌَﺒْﺪُ ﻣَﺎﻟِﻰ ﻣَﺎﻟِﻰ ﺇِﻧَّﻤَﺎ ﻟَﻪُ ﻣِﻦْ ﻣَﺎﻟِﻪِ ﺛَﻼَﺙٌ ﻣَﺎ ﺃَﻛَﻞَ ﻓَﺄَﻓْﻨَﻰ ﺃَﻭْ ﻟَﺒِﺲَ ﻓَﺄَﺑْﻠَﻰ ﺃَﻭْ ﻟِﻠﻨَّﺎﺱِ ﻟِﻠﻨَّﺎﺱِ
"I said, "My treasures." Is not his property only three: what he eats and will disappear, which he wears and will be worn out, which he gives that is actually the treasure he collected. Other assets will disappear and be given to the people he left behind. "
(HR. Muslim no. 2959)
