In the world we live today, everything we own are valued in the materialistic sense. We place ‘price tags' on human relations, love, power, and many other elements in our lives. We revere those with success in amassing wealth, while we shun those with the inability to expand substantial material gains. Unfortunately, Muslims are not exempted from this test of faith; the outlook of modern Muslims has changed tremendously as compared to our predecessors.
While we can't live in this world without recognising the importance of the temporal materials, how do we align ourselves as modern Muslims in a world where the materialistic influences are continually challenging our perspectives? How can we take advantage of the ‘material world' for our hereafter?
Come and join us with our guest speaker on how to balance the worldly life for the hereafter.
