So, I've seen the words of hadith today, said that, world is like dead body, which is only a dog that chase it.
And I thought instantly, it would never been me.
Was I?
Am I?
Will I?
What is World? Why would i chase it?
There is nothing in this world that Money can't buy. Then let's substitute the World with Money.
What is Money? Why would I chase it?
I need money for living my life. But I won't chase it. Then let's substitute the word chase with need.
Why would I need money? Is there any needs besides living the life?
I need money for living my family. Buying food, clothes, place of life, transport, communication, recreation. That is life balance. I need comfortable place of life, transport, gapless communication, soothing experiences of recreation to have more productive life.
So I am making worldly reason for how I need the money. These reasons is somehow has engraved in my subconscious mind. If I say I am not needing those, there always be someone saying (reminding) that I need that.
I do not need house.
Really? So where your family have a shelter?
Ok. I will rent one.
Are you ready to pay to the landlord every month for the entire of your life?
Ok. I will buy the cheapest one.
And how your children will get the good rest in the small house? What if your family come along?
Ok. I will have the medium one.
Will you not having a carport?
Do you think a wifi router seems a good option for cheap internet connection?
Also a car will save us from complicated public transportation.
The childs is needing the good school, but its distances is required dedicated vehicle with four wheels.
...and other worldly bloody-logical-considerations of how I tragically need the money to compensate.
Actually there will not be any religious reward for having any worldly accomplishment. Religious reward is (should be) the target in every seconds of our life. It should be in behind of each consideration in my life. I must looking for how I get religious reward in each rupiahs i spent.
Afterlife is something which is infinite. There will be nothing in this world that can buy afterlife. Allah has made it so clear about what is required to get inside His Heaven.
But still, I am making excuse for ignoring the requirements. Meanwhile He said that I will find happiness ONLY if I struggle for the afterlife. That's what is the OEM said in the manual book. How can I still doubt the manual book from OEM?
And really, how can I still chasing the world?
