70. What Would You Choose Deen Or Duniya

And whoever makes the Dunya his most important matter, Allah will confound his affairs.

This is very important. The Prophet salaAllahu alayhi wasalaam mentioned: 

"Whoever makes the Duny'a his most important matter, Allah will confound his affairs and make poverty appear before his eyes and he will not get anything from the world except what has been decreed for him."

Whoever makes the Hereafter his concern, Allah will settle his affairs and make him content in his heart and the world will come to him (although he does not want it)" - Sunan Ibn Majah 4105.

And so we must understand, it is the concern about the akhira, the concern about the standing infront of Allah, and the structuring of our lives according to this - that will lead to all our affairs being settled; be it our financial needs, our quests for marriage, our family needs, our ailments and so forth.

And more so, if one's concern is the Akhira, the dunya will also come to him even though he does not need it. And it will be at his disposal.

But on the other hand, whoever is concerned about the dunya and gets lost in it then Allah will make poverty between his eyes, even if he has all the things, friends and money of the dunya. He will become a slave of the dunya and will never find peace of mind nor rest. And his affairs will be so confined that he won't find fulfilment in anything.
-Ibrahimeen.
