Wing of a Mosquito and the value of this world

Question: Why the wing of a mosquito has more value in Allah’s Eyes than this dunya?

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), the significance of the wing of a mosquito in the eyes of Allah compared to the value of this world is a profound reality. The hadith of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ mentions that Allah doesn’t care for this creation of heavens and earth more than the wing of a mosquito. This signifies that the material world, with all its grandeur and magnificence, holds little value in the sight of Allah compared to even the smallest creation.

This teaching is a reminder for us to not become attached to the fleeting and temporary nature of this world. The world is filled with trials, tribulations, and distractions that can lead us away from the remembrance of Allah and the pursuit of our spiritual growth. Instead, it encourages us to focus on the eternal and everlasting reality of the Divine Presence.

The wing of a mosquito, being of such little significance in the eyes of the world, serves as a metaphor for the insignificance of the material world in the sight of Allah. It reminds us that the pursuit of worldly desires and attachments can lead us astray from our true purpose, which is to seek the pleasure of Allah and prepare for the eternal life in the hereafter.

In essence, this teaching emphasizes the importance of prioritizing our spiritual development and the pursuit of Divine love over the temporary and illusory attractions of this world. It encourages us to seek refuge in the Divine Presence and the love of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, as they are the true sources of eternal fulfillment and contentment.

May Allah grant us the wisdom to understand the true value of this world and guide us to seek His pleasure above all else. Ameen.
