THE LIVES OF BELIEVERS WHO HAVE
UNDERSTOOD THE TRANSITORY NATURE
OF THE BLESSINGS OF THIS WORLD
In the preceding chapters, we revealed the attitudes of
those people taken in by the enjoyment of the transitory
world, together with the reasons for them, and also conside-
red, with examples, the differences between believers and un-
believers. In this chapter, we shall be considering, in more de-
tail, the power of understanding of believers and the superior
moral values they live by.
THEY ADOPT THE LIFESTYLE APPROVED OF
BY ALLAH
The believers know that the life of this world is a test and
that the blessings of the world are made to appear attractive
as an element of that test. Since they are aware of the transi-
tory nature of all these blessings, they expend their energ i e s
in order to attain their eternal, true lives and Paradise. On ac-
count of His great merc y, our Lord allows His servants who
expend great efforts for the Hereafter to make use of the bles-
sings of this world in the best possible manner.
