La Douniâ, Une belle illusion (Getting to know your pitfalls better to better avoid them) , by Imam Al-Ghazâlî , Collection Revivification of the Good Practices of the Muslim Religion , Translation of the book: " Kitâb dhamm d-douniâ ” (كتاب ذم الدنيا )

God said in the Qur'an: "Do not be deceived by the life of this low world ( duniâ ) and that your false hopes ( gharûr ) do not deceive you about God. » (31,33) « The abode of the hereafter ( akhirat ) is certainly the true life. If they only knew! (29.64)

The Prophet Sayyiduna Muhammad said: “Love of the lower world is the source of all sins. “ , “The low world is the prison of the believer, and the paradise of the disbeliever. And he also said, "God didn't create a creature more detestable to Him than the world below, and since He created it, He never looked at it." So God does not like this place of temporary exile He has created to test us (out of Eden) . And if we overcome this test, then the garden of Paradise awaits us for eternity, because God loves pious and virtuous believers: “He will love them and they will love Him. (Quran 5.54)
