TWO ATTRIBUTES OF THE
PEOPLE OF HELL
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ (37) وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا (38)
“Then, for him who transgressed, and preferred the life of this world.”
(An-Nazi’āt: 37-38)
Shaykh
Ibn ‘Uthaymīn رحمه الله said:
“These are two attributes of the people of Hell.
Transgression – i.e., overstepping the boundary – and preferring the worldly
life than the hereafter by giving it
precedence over the hereafter. And they [i.e., these two attributes] are
inseparable. Whoever transgresses has preferred the worldly life and vice
versa.”
