[17].Surah Al-Isra' [The Journey By Night] also known as Surah Bani Israel [The Children of Israel]
Ayat 19. And whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it, with the necessary effort due for it (i.e. do righteous deeds of Allah's Obedience) while he is a believer (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), then such are the ones whose striving shall be appreciated, thanked and rewarded (by Allah).
Ayat 20. To each these as well as those We bestow from the Bounties of your Lord. And the Bounties of your Lord can never be forbidden.
Tafseer of Surah Al Isra' (Bani Israel) Ayat 19 & 20. Those who do wish for the (things of) the Hereafter, and strive therefor with all due striving, and have Faith,-they are the ones whose striving is acceptable (to Allah This is in contrast to the last verse. Those who wish for mere earthly good sometimes get it and misuse it. Those whose eyes are fixed on the Hereafter, they too share in their Lord's bounty provided they fulfil the conditions explained in the next note; but their wishes and endeavors are more acceptable in the sight of Allah. A mere wish for moral and spiritual good is not enough. It must be backed up by hard endeavor and supported by a lively Faith. On those conditions the wishes are accepted by Allah. 20. Of the bounties of thy Lord We bestow freely on all- These as well as those: The bounties of thy Lord are not closed (to anyone). Allah's favours are showered on all—the just and the unjust, the deserving and the undeserving. But there is a difference as explained in the last two verses.
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abdullah bin Masud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said: "Do not crave for property lest you should be absorbed in the desire of worldly life.''
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 2328]
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Isra Ayat 19. "whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it", The word "Dai`ah'' translated here as "property'' means land, industry, agriculture or business. One should not be so engrossed in them to the extent that, they become the sole purpose of one's life and all one's efforts are exhausted to acquire them, thus forgetting all about the Hereafter. To the extent of one's genuine needs and self-sufficiency, making and maintaining of property, land, industry, agriculture and commerce come in permissible acts. None of them is forbidden provided the means employed for making and maintaining them are fair and do not distract one's attention from Allah and the Hereafter.
