Because we are so involved in the extras of the Dunya, we are not able to do the extras of the Deen. This is the golden rule; if you want the extras of the Deen, be prepared to sacrifice the extras of the Dunya. But if you cannot sacrifice the extras of the Dunya, then don't hope for extras of the Deen. So if you want Jannat-ul-Firduas, thats extra of Deen. One thing is Jannah, another is Jannat-ul-Firduas, and thats extra. One thing is being able to see the momineen from 2012 Karachi, another is to see Sahaba. Thats extra. So let me repeat the sentence; if you want the extras of the Deen, be prepared to sacrifice the extras of the Duniya. And how foolish will be a decision otherwise. How foolish!
