The world — a prison for the believer

Monday, June 14, 2021

الدُّنْيَا سِجْنُ الْمُؤْمِنِ، وَجَنَّةُ الْكَافِرِ
Transliteration

Ad-dunya sijnu-l-mu'min, wa jannatu-l-kafir.

Translation

The world is a prison for the believer and a paradise for the disbeliever.

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah·Sahih Muslim 2956
Reflection

Not because the world is bad — but because the believer sees a better home and the disbeliever sees only this one. Perspective reframes the walls.

One saying of the Prophet ﷺ a day.

Pair this with the daily verse, the 99 Names, and a few beads of dhikr. Small things, repeated, leave the deepest mark.
