..Truly, the life of this world is nothing but a [quick passing] enjoyment, and verily, the Hereafter that is the home that will remain forever. (40:39)
And know that your possesions and your children are but a trial and that surely with Allah is a mighty reward. (8:28)

"May similitude and that of the life of this world is that of a traveler who took a rest at a mild-day under a shade of a tree and then left it"(Ahmad, at Tirmidhi)

"The Hour (of Resurrection) has drawn near, whereas the people have become more greedy for the life of the world and more remote from Allah (swt)." (al Haakim)
