Love Of This World -What's The Criteria?
Dunya when used in its negative connotation means such love or priority for worldly affairs which go against Islam and ethics. Otherwise God ask us to adopt the beauties of the world that He has created for his people. See the following verse Ask them [O God’s Messenger]: Who has forbidden you the adornments of the Almighty which He had created for His servants, and who has forbidden the wholesome among the edibles? [336] Tell them: They are for the believers also even in this world [but God has also given the disbelievers a share in them]; [337] and on the Day of Judgement, they shall be theirs alone. [The disbelievers shall have no share in them.] Thus do We explain Our revelations for those who want to know. (7:32)
