WHAT IS THE REALITY OF THIS LIFE
This worldy life compared with the life hereafter is like a drop of water in a vast ocean. Pain and suffering in this life, is like a drop of water, however pain and suffering in the life hereafter is like an ocean. Similarly happiness, honour and success in this life is like a drop of water. On the other hand happiness, respect and success in the life hereafter is like an ocean, there is no ending, infact these bounties will be increasing day by day.
Allah S.W.T says" .....Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world as compared with the Hereafter"
(Surah Al-Taubah Ayat 38)
"Allah increases the provision for whom He wills, and straitens (it for whom He wills), and they rejoice in the life of the world, where as the life of this world as compared with the Hereafter is but a brief passing enjoyment"
(Surah Ar-Rad Ayat 26)
"And whatever you have been given is an enjoyment of the life of (this) world and its adornment, and that (Hereafter) which is with Allah is better and will remain forever. Have you then no sense?"
(Surah Al-Qasas, Ayat 60)
THE LIFE OF THIS WORLD IS ONLY THE ENJOYMENTS OF DECEPTION. IT IS NOTHING BUT AMUSEMENT AND PLAY. Allah says "And the life of this world is nothing but play and amusement. But far better is the house in the Hereafter for those who are pious. Will you not then understand?"
(Surah Al-An'am ayat 32)
"And this life of the world is only amusement and play! Verily, the home of the Hereafter, - that is the life indeed, if they but knew".
(Surah Al-Ankabut Ayat 64)
"The life of this world is but play and past time, but if you belive (in the Oneness of Allah) and fear Allah and avoid evil, He will grant you your wages, and will not ask you your wealth".
(Surah Muhammad Ayat 36)
"Know that the life of this world is only play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children, as the likeness of vegetation after rain, thereof the growth is pleasing to the tiller; afterwards it dries up and you see it turning yellow; then it becomes straw. But in the Hereafter there is a severe torment for the evildoers, and there is forgiveness from Allah and his good pleaseure for the believers. Whereas the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment".
(Surah Al-Hadeed, Ayat 20)
These are the words of our creator - who created this world and He is all knowing. MAY ALLAH GIVE US THE TAUFIK TO UNDERSTAND THE REALITY OF THIS WORLD.
