Beware of the Allure of the World and Women

SUMMARY: This hadith is a warning to be wary of the allure of the world and women.

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah said: "The world is sweet and green (alluring); and verily, Allah is making you to succeed each other, generations after generations in it in order to see how you act. So beware of this world and beware of women". Muslim.

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warns us about two things - the allure of this world and women. The world is full of temptations that can lead us astray from our faith if we are not careful. Similarly, women can also be a source of distraction if we do not guard ourselves against it. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ reminds us that Allah has made generations succeed each other in order to see how they act in this world. Therefore it is important for us to remain vigilant and mindful so that we may pass these tests with flying colors. We should strive to make sure our actions are pleasing to Allah so that He may reward us in both worlds - this one and the hereafter.
