Extract from the Preface : Risalatu Adaabi Suluk al-Murid,

'' The 'transitory life' is life on this earth. For the seeker who desires it, let alone actively pursues it, ends up in the Fire, rebuked and humbled. Should not a man of reason be aware and turn away from it, while diligently safeguarding himself from it. The Hereafter here means the Heaven. It is not enough merely to desire it only, instead one should exercise good faith and do righteous deeds as necessary to achieve it as indicated by His, the Exalted, words :
 

The Ones whose striving is acceptable (to Allah) are those deeds which were accepted by Allah, they thereby deserve praise and great rewards which have no limits and no ending, by the grace of Allah and His Mercy.


The loser, in all respect, is the seeker of the transitory life who will surely receive the rightful threat (from Allah) as described in the Qur'anic verse above. His desire for the earthly life is so powerful that it makes him neglect, deny the Hereafter until he does not believe in it, or he believes but do not strive for it, firstly, he is an infidel and will stay in Hell forever, then secondly, will have strayed and is another loser. '' _{---Imam Abdullah ibn 'Alawi al-Haddad}, _{Tarim, Hadramount.}
