An explanation of the temporary nature of this Dunya compared to the eternal reality of the Akhirah, based on lessons from Kitab al-Riqaq.

The shift from the womb to this world mirrors the transition from this world to the Akhirah; just as the world is vastly larger than the womb, the smallest Jannah is ten times the size of this earth.
Dunya is like a rented flat or children building sandcastles—it is temporary and subject to destruction, whereas the Akhirah is our true permanent home.
Wealth and comfort are not inherently prohibited or considered Dunya if they are acquired through halal means and used for their proper purpose without taking root in the heart.
Providing security for one's family, such as having a stable roof over their heads, brings tranquility and supports a strong spiritual foundation.

Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wasallam taught the dua: "Allahumma fiddli zambi wa wassi'li fi dhari wa barikti fi rizki" (O Allah, forgive my sins, grant expansion in my home, and bless my provision).
Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wasallam's statement: "Allahumma la 'isha illa 'ishul akhirah" (There is no life except the life of the Akhirah).
Hadith: "At-ta'imus shakir kas sa'imus sabir" (The eater who is grateful is like the fasting person who is patient).

Endeavor to secure a simple, halal home for your family's stability and security.
Implement Sunnah practices incrementally into your daily routine, starting with the easiest ones and remaining consistent.
Improve concentration in Salah by learning and reflecting upon the meanings of the recitations (such as Surah Al-Fatiha during silent rak'ats) and varying the surahs recited.
Prepare mindfully for prayer by performing Wudhu properly and disconnecting from worldly chatter before entering the masjid.
