When Umar ibn Al-Khattab (RA) entered the simple room of the Prophet ﷺ next to Masjid Nabawi, he found only a jug of water, a few dates and a rough date-palm mat. No luxury. No furniture. No palace.
When the Prophet ﷺ stood up, the marks of the mat were visible on his blessed back. Umar (RA) began to cry, thinking of the Roman and Persian kings living in palaces while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ slept on a rough mat.
The Prophet ﷺ replied with a line that destroys dunya-obsession:
“O Umar, are you not pleased that they take the world… and we take the Hereafter?”
In this clip, Muhammad Ahmed (Source Code Academia student) unpacks this powerful moment and asks:
Are we running after the lifestyle of Rome & Persia in modern form?
Have we traded Akhirah for brands, comfort and social media image?
What does real success look like for a Muslim in 2025?
If you feel pulled by materialism, career race and status anxiety, this reminder will reset your compass: Dunya is temporary. Akhirah is the actual prize.
???? Watch till the end, then ask yourself honestly:
Are you living like a citizen of Rome… or a seeker of the Hereafter?
