2:201

related refs 17:18, 73:11

At this point, I would like to answer a question before being asked it, which is that two kinds of people live in this world: the religious and the non-religious. Those who have a religion, particularly Muslims, although they want the betterment of both this world and the next (2:201), give preference to the next world over this world (17:18-21). Therefore, the people of faith seek help from God, may He be blessed and exalted, not only in religious matters but also in worldly matters. This is according to the teachings of Islam, for, even the worldly progress of Muslims is conditional on piety, fear of God, knowledge and good deeds. Whereas for the non-believers there is respite (73:11), therefore, the world is given to them without any religious conditions.
