The Good Things That Last.

As-Salaam alaikum,

Says Allah Ta'ala in ayat 46 of Surat Kahfi of the Holy Qur'an (18:46):--

"WEALTH AND CHILDREN ARE THE EMBELLISHMENT OF WORLDLY
LIFE, AND THE GOOD THINGS THAT LAST (al-baqiyat-as-salihat) ARE
GREATER WITH YOUR LORD AND GREATER IN EXPECTATION."

Thus material things are short-lived and temporary... but the "GOOD THINGS THAT LAST" will remain and endure forever. That is, their reward will continue into the Hereafter, and the hereafter is far better and everlasting.

Now, what are ''THE GOOD THINGS THAT LAST''? The Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, told us what they are in the following Hadith:--

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, reported from the Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, that he said:--

"MAKE PLENTY OF THE 'GOOD THINGS THAT LAST (al-baqiyat Salihat)'. IT WAS SAID: AND WHAT ARE THEY, O MESSENGER OF
ALLAH?' He said:-- "TAKBIR (Saying: ALLAHU AKBAR), TAHLIL
(Saying: LA-ILAHA ILLALLAH), TAHMID (Saying: ALHAMDULILLAH), and
Saying: LA-HAWLA WALA QUWATA ILLA BILLAH." [Bukhari and Muslim].

In view of this, we should include the recital of lots of the good things last last, as shown above, in our daily Zikr... when we come to remember Allah in the mornings and evenings accordingly.

Best Wishes.
