We are turning our temporary world into a Jannah.

The ease and luxury of how life is becoming and the lack of ambition and responsibility that people are avoiding makes it sound like people are really trying to turn this world into their Jannah.

A life of ease, no responsibilities, no children, no spouse, etc.

I can get all the pleasure I need in other ways.

It is all about me, and worrying only about myself.

You want to eat something in particular? A few clicks and you’ll have it in 30 minutes delivered to your doorstep.

You want to watch something? A few clicks and there you have it. Sometimes you don’t even need to do that because it shows up in your feed automatically because the algorithm knows what you like.

Doesn’t this remind you of Jannah, where you can think of any food or drink and it just shows up in your hand? Any pleasure you want to experience, and you can get it within seconds?

The algorithm and the conveniences of this world are making people weaker, and trying to turn this world into a Jannah is one of the biggest deceptions.

Your time in this world is just like a night followed by the day:

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا ٤٦

On the Day they see it, it will be as if they had stayed ˹in the world˺ no more than one evening or its morning. (79:46)

This world is a mirage that will bite you back hard - when you realize the reality of the situation.

When Sunday night hits and you have work the next day.

Except it won’t be Sunday night. It will be your last night, and your soul will be leaving your throat.

Youth Risk surveys are pointless, flawed, and can worsen kids’ addictions and sexual behaviors. Opt-out of them.
