CHAPTER 17Love of the World[*ubb ad-Dunyā]Any concept, ‘thing’ or person that provides benefit in the Hereafteris worthy of attachment in this earthly life. Indeed, love of theworld is praised if it leads to spiritual elevation and healing of theheart, or if attaining wealth and position are for the benefit of theneedy. Anything that is obtained from the necessities of living onearth - food, housing, shelter, and the like - is beneficial and is notconsidered “worldly” per se.However, what scholars have traditionally warned against, withregard to attaining wealth, is the danger of transgression. The morewealth one acquires, the higher the probability one will becomepreoccupied with other than Allāh .‘£sāis reported to have said ”Love of this world is the root of allevil.” [Al-Bayhaqī in Shu’ab Al-Īmān 9974]حُبُّ‏ الدُّنْيَاLOVE OF THE WORLDIt is the action of clinging to the world’s ‘glittering distractions’,paying excessive attention to the ‘things’ that benefit the lowerself, that ties somebody to blameworthy love of the world (#ubbal-dunyā). The manifestation of this misdirected love includesgreediness and arrogance, as well as burdening (and depending on)others with your needs. The compulsion is a desire for provision inthis world only, and the salvation in the next world is dismissed insome measure. Attaining prohibited wealth and power for power’ssake is normalised by the individual sufferer. Finally, it is worthremarking that ‘love of wealth’ (#ubb al-māl) is undoubtedly abranch of #ubb ad-dunyā.170
