URGES THAT ARE NEVER SATISFIED
A person should be affiliated with the Hereafter by seeking knowledge, pursuing an understanding of the religion and endeavoring to obey the Lord of all creation. The narration of Ibn Mas'ūd (رضي الله عنه) is relevant in this regard wherein he said:
"Two peoples' urges that are never satisfied: The one seeking knowledge who consequently increases his efforts in pleasing Allāh, and the one seeking the worldly life consequently indulging in transgression."
