Whoever desires by his deeds the reward of this world then God has the reward of this world and of the Hereafter for the one who wants it and no one else has it so why do any of you demand the lower reward? Why do you not seek the higher one by devoting yourself sincerely to Him since what reward he seeks can only be found with Him; God is ever Hearer Seer.

"Whoever makes the Hereafter his goal, Allah makes his heart rich, and organizes his affairs, and the world comes to him whether it wants to or not. And whoever makes the world his goal, Allah puts his poverty right before his eyes, and disorganizes his affairs, and the world does not come to him, except what has been decreed for him."
