The Prophet ﷺ said you must work as if you will never die, and you must worship as if you will die tomorrow. If you leave one or the other, you will end up following your ego. You can be sincere and wait for Mahdī (as) as Mawlānā did, but don't sit and wait for Mahdī (as) and Armageddon and do nothing. You should work and pray. If you ask for your worldly provision for Allāh’s ﷻ sake it is also worshipping. You can also make plans for the future, but always remember the most important thing; to say, in shā’a Llāh.
