Does the enjoyment and luxury of this world diminish a person's reward in the Afterlife? And what about the wealthy among the prophets, companions, and righteous?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

We have previously explained that the best among the patient poor and the grateful rich is the one who is most pious towards Allah.
