The value of this world

Those who are running behind Dunya will know the value of their house, their car, their camp, their jobs and their fortunes in general, when they are being unclothed to be given Ghusl and Kafan. It is the time when the whole truth will be disclosed. All make-up will fall off. That is when we will know that nothing will be useful for us. Only our actions will accompany us. This Dunya for which we became mad, will betray us on that day. And it is our good deeds that seemed difficult to us that will be sincere to us.

In a Hadith, Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:

"There are three things that accompany a person to the cemetery. Two of them return and only one remains with him. His wealth, family and actions accompany him to the cemetery. His wealth and his family return. Only his actions remain with him."
