The adequate answer..
A person cannot reach this goal unless he makes the Hereafter his chief concern. The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) is authentically reported to have said:
“Whoever makes the Hereafter his only concern, aside from all other concerns, Allah will spare him the concerns of his worldly life. But whoever has so many concerns about worldly affairs, Allah will not care in which one of its valleys he would be ruined.”
[Narrated by Ibn Mājah; Sahīh (authentic)]
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “Whoever gets preoccupied with Allah and forgets himself, Allah gives him sufficiency in terms of himself; whoever gets preoccupied with Allah and forgets people, Allah gives him sufficiency in terms of people; whoever gets preoccupied with himself and forgets Allah, Allah leaves him to his own devices; and whoever gets preoccupied with people and forgets Allah, Allah leaves him to them.”
“Whoever makes the Hereafter his only concern, aside from all other concerns, Allah will spare him the concerns of his worldly life. But whoever has so m any concerns about worldly affairs, Allah will not care in which one of its valleys he would be ruined.”
[Narrated by Ibn Mājah; Sahīh (authentic)]
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “Whoever gets preoccupied with Allah and forgets himself, Allah gives him sufficiency in terms of himself; whoever gets preoccupied with Allah and forgets people, Allah gives him sufficiency in terms of people; whoever gets preoccupied with himself and forgets Allah, Allah leaves him to his own devices; and whoever gets preoccupied with people and forgets Allah, Allah leaves him to them.”
He Whose mercy encompasses all creation will grant you sufficiency. Sufficient for you is a Lord Whose kindness is ceaseless and Who continues to protect you, conceal your faults, and bestow His favors upon you.
Sufficiency from the Best ower of grace and favors comes to you in merciful and affectionate ways, though He sees you when you commit sins and engage in disobedience.
O Allah, the All-Sufficient, grant us sufficiency with what You have made lawful beyond need for what You have made unlawful, and make us with Your bounty in no need of others.
