The Test Of This World
This world is temporary. The ultimate form of submission to my master is to worship him day in and day out- glorifying him, fasting to show him that I will starve myself for him etc etc. So why should I waste my time on becoming let’s say an engineer when this world is temporary and all I’m doing is reducing the amount of time I am submitting to God. Let’s say I become an engineer, the 6+ years spent in university could’ve been used for prayer and fasting and tasbeeh. Instead of learning Newton’s laws of motion I would be praying. Why should I chase after this dunya with a tenth of my lifespan for something that has absolutely no bearing on my eternal life?
