Worldly Life Vs. The Afterlife
Yes, as long as it’s within the boundaries set by God. This worldly life is our short-term goal while the afterlife is our long-term goal. There’s no problem in pursuing the short-term goal as long as it doesn’t compromise our long term goal. Hopefully this example might help drive the point across. We go to school and spend many years there so that we may get the education required for us to earn a decent living in the future. While we’re in school, it’s great to have friends and enjoy the canteen food. However, if we focus solely on friends and the canteen, we may end up never achieving our goal of being able to earn a decent living.
