The world is a place before a Moslem leaves for the eternal land. Just like a traveler, Moslems should not burden themselves. Here is a hadeeth on this: “From Umm ud-Darda (radiyallaahu 'anhaa) who said: I said to Aboo Dardaa (radiyallaahu 'anhu): Will you not seek for things to entertain your guests just as others seek for things for their guests? So he replied: I heard Allaah's Messenger (salallaahu 'alaihi wa'sallam) say: "Ahead of you is a steep mountain which will not be surmounted by those who are overburdened." So I wish to lighten my load for that ascent!”
(It is reported by al-Haakim (4/574), al-Baihaqee in Shu'abul Eemaan and others and its chain of narration is saheeh)
The world is not our final destination. The most important to do here is how to gather ‘provisions’ to live in the eternal land.
