In answer to the video "Worst Creatures in Islam"
2:200-201"For, of men there is he who says, "Our Lord! give us in this world", and for him there shall be no portion in the Hereafter. And among them there is he who says, Our Lord! give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and save us from the chastisement of the Fire". They shall have (their) portion of what they have earned; and Allah is quick in reckoning".This passage conveys the important message that a person should be aware that what is good in this world is dependent on the fact that it should become a means of our success in the Hereafter, and only the Almighty can have such knowledge
2:216"and it may be that you dislike a thing while it is good for you, and it may be that you love a thing while it is evil for you, and Allah knows, while you do not know".Hence, it is best for a person to leave this matter to the Almighty and not present his own suggestion in this regard. A person who only seeks the vainglories of this world without caring for his faith in the Hereafter will have no portion of good in it, his deeds shall be void and forfeited
46:20"And on the day when those who disbelieve shall be brought before the fire: You did away with your good things in your life of the world and you took your fill of pleasure in them.."
21:47,18:105"so their deeds become void and We will not assign to them any weight on the Day of Resurrection".
The Quran says that one builds his place in the hereafter, whether in paradise or hell through his current deeds. He is consequently said as being made to "inherit" that place in the next life. If one doesnt believe in the next life, then his works will remain in this current life of which he will have his proper share. It is faith that makes the good works of this life to be fruitful in the next, without faith the good deeds of this life cannot be fruitful in the next in the case of the willful disbeliever.
Ps49:7-10"Those who rely on their possessions and boast of their great wealth, no one can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for them. The redemption of their soul will be too dear, and unattainable forever. Will he live yet forever and not see the Pit?"
