QUOTE : Being bored with their possessions<br />In the Qur’an, Allah tells us that His blessings do the<br />unbelievers no good:<br />So leave them in their glut of ignorance for a while. Do<br />they imagine that, in the wealth and children We<br />extend to them, We are hastening to them with good<br />things? No indeed, but they have no awareness. (Surat<br />al-Mu’minun: 54-56)<br />Unbelievers may spend their lives surrounded by<br />wealth, beauty, honor, fame, and respect. But none of<br />42 THOSE WHO EXHAUST ALL THEIR PLEASURES IN THIS LIFE<br />these things does them any good or becomes a blessing<br />for them, and they will only experience increased agony in<br />both worlds. On the surface it seems that Allah gives them<br />blessings, but He does not enable them to enjoy them.<br />Therefore, even though the blessings are all around them,<br />they are, nevertheless, deprived of them. A person can<br />possess everything he wants, but it becomes a great misery<br />for him not to be able to enjoy what he already has.
