No poverty after Paradise, and no Riches after the Fire.

It is reported that Jundub b. ‘Abdillâh Al-Bajalî – Allah be pleased with him – was once asked for advice and instruction. He said:

I advise you to fear Allâh and obey Him (taqwâ) and I advise you to adhere to the Quran, for it is a light in the dark night and a guidance during the day, so implement it no matter how much struggle and poverty you have to face. If a calamity befalls you, put your wealth forward to protect your religion, and if the calamity continues, put forward your wealth and your life to save your religion [but never risk your religion], for the ruined is he whose religion is ruined, and the looted is he whose religion is taken. And know that there is no poverty after Paradise, and no riches after the Fire.

Al-Dhahabî, Siyar A’lâm Al-Nubalâ` 3:174.

Causes of hardheartedness

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) said:

Causes of hardheartedness include: turning away from Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, and not reading Qur’aan; being preoccupied with this world and focusing mostly on it, and not paying attention to matters of religion, because obeying Allah, may He be exalted, makes the heart soft and brings one back to Allah, may He be blessed and exalted.

The remedy for that is to turn to Allah, repent to Him, remember Him a great deal, read the Qur’aan a great deal, and do acts of worship, as much as one can.

[Fataawa Noor ‘ala al-Darb by Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 12/171]
