Living as strangers in a world consumed by temporary pleasures is one of the most profound spiritual challenges of our time. In a society preoccupied with wealth, fame, and fleeting entertainment, the Qur’an and Sunnah remind us of our true orientation and purpose. The Prophet (SAW) advised Ibn ʿUmar (RAA), “Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler” (al-Bukhārī). This concise yet powerful ḥadīth defines the believer’s attitude toward the dunyā: we are travelers, not settlers. Just as a traveler does not cling to rest stops along the road, the believer must not become attached to the passing comforts and distractions of this life.
