May God bless those men who knew why they were created and for what purpose they existed; their hearts were not attached to this world, and the words of God Almighty were truly fulfilled in them: {Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with God. Some of them have fulfilled their pledge, and some are still waiting, and they have not altered [it] in the least.} [Al-Ahzab: 23]

Those who cling to this world and love its people, and who disdain the Hereafter and its eternity, their love, enmity, and loyalty are all for the sake of this world, its people, its positions, its fleeting adornments, and its perishable pleasures. They act as if they were created to remain and live forever in this world, even though God Almighty says: {Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your full recompense on the Day of Resurrection. So whoever is removed from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has certainly attained success. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion.} [Al Imran: 185] And He, the Exalted, says: {And We have not made for any human being anything but good.} Before you, they will live forever. But if you die, will they be the ones to live forever? (34) Every soul will taste death, and We test you with evil and good as a trial; and to Us you will be returned. [Al-Anbiya: 34-35]

Author: Al-Hafiz Abu Bakr, Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Ubayd ibn Sufyan ibn Qays al-Baghdadi al-Qurashi, their freedman, a freedman of the Banu Umayya (208 AH - 281 AH), nicknamed Ibn Abi al-Dunya (a nickname that overshadowed his given name until he became famous by it). Al-Hafiz Abu Bakr was born in Baghdad in the early third century AH, in the year 208 AH. He was an Arab historian and educator who tutored the Abbasid Caliph al-Mu'tadid and his son al-Muktafi. The scholar Ibn Kathir (may God have mercy on him) said of him in his book "Al-Bidayah wa'l-Nihayah" (The Beginning and the End): "He was renowned for his numerous, beneficial, widely circulated, and widely read works on spiritual refinement and other subjects. He was truthful, a memorizer of hadith, and a man of integrity."

❇️ Some Reviews of Ibn Abi al-Dunya's "Dhamm al-Dunya" (Condemnation of the World) ❇️

▪️Source of reviews: www.goodreads.com/ar/book/show/17611592▪️

- "The world, from beginning to end, is nothing but like a man who sleeps, sees in his dream what he should know, and then wakes up." "A man from Quraysh was asked: 'What is asceticism?' He replied: 'By God, it is not austerity, nor coarseness of food, but rather freeing the soul from the desires of the flesh.'" "O You Who holds the heavens from falling except by His permission, hold the world from me."

Ikram Khelladi

- For this world is a dream, and the Hereafter is reality, and death is the intermediary between them. We are in a state of confusion, and peace be upon us.

Hope.

❇️ Some quotes from the book "Condemnation of the World" by Ibn Abi al-Dunya ❇️

- On the authority of Muhammad ibn Suqah, he said: "Two things, if we were not punished except for them, would make us deserving of God's punishment: One of us is given something of this world and rejoices with a joy that God does not know is due to anything that has increased his religion, and he is deprived of something of this world and grieves with a grief that God does not know is due to anything that has decreased his religion."

- Al-Fudayl said: "A servant's fear of God is proportionate to his knowledge of God, and his detachment from this world is proportionate to his desire for the Hereafter."

- Abu al-Darda' said: "The soul of the son of Adam remains young in its love for this world and money, even if his collarbones meet from old age, except for those whom God has tested." Their hearts are for the Hereafter, and few are they.

- Abu Hazim said: The burdens of this world and the Hereafter are heavy. As for the burdens of the Hereafter, you will find no helpers for them. As for the burdens of this world, you cannot reach for anything without finding a wicked person who has already taken it.

- Ali ibn Abi Talib, may God be pleased with him, used to say in his supplication: O God, You have made this world a trial and a punishment, so make my share of it, my portion of its allotment, and my longing for its power a source of contentment and action that pleases You.

- An Arab man looked at his brother and his greed for worldly things and said: O my brother, you are both a seeker and sought after. You seek what you cannot miss, and you seek what you have already been given. What was hidden from you has been revealed to you, and what you were in has been transferred from you. O my brother, it is as if you have never seen a greedy person deprived, nor an ascetic provided for.

- Ibn al-Sammak entered upon Harun and said: Advise me briefly. He said: How strange, O Commander of the Faithful, is what we are in, how it has overcome us, and how strange is what we are going to, how we have been heedless of it. A wonder for the small and insignificant. To oblivion comes what is most prevalent, long-lasting, and unfading.

- An Arab man advised his son, saying: "My son, the world pursues those who pursue it and strive with it. Flee from it before you perish in it, for by God, it has warned you of its impending departure and concealed its evil within you."

- Ibn al-Sammak said: "What is feared from the evil of the world is greater than the evil we are experiencing from it. The true evil of the world only becomes clear upon parting from it, if we are destined to perish because of it."
