295. The Trade of the Hereafter

(يا أَيُّهَاالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى‏ تِجارَةٍ تُنْجِيكُمْ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ * تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَتُجاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ وأَنْفُسِكُمْ ذلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ) .¹

"O you who have faith! Shall I show you a deal that will deliver you from a painful punishment? Have faith in Allah and His Apostle, and wage jihad in the way of Allah with your possessions and your persons. That is better for you, should you know." ²

965.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : كلُّ ما أبْصَرْتَهُ بعَينِكَ واسْتَحْلاهُ‏قلبُكَ فاجعَلْهُ للَّهِ، فذلكَ تِجارةُ الآخِرَةِ، لأنَّ اللَّهَ يقولُ: (ما عِندَكُم يَنْفَدُ وماعِندَ اللَّهِ باقٍ)³ .⁴
