This World

" This world is like a shadow: run after it and you will never be able to catch it; turn your back against it and it has no choice but to follow you."
— Ibn al-Qayyim

  1. THE NOBLE QUR'AAN(Surah AL HADEED:Ayah20) "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 disbelievers, evil-doers), and (there is) Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the believers, good-doers), whereas the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment."

  2. What is the life of this world but play and amusement?
    But best is the home in the hereafter, for those who are righteous.
    Will you not then understand?
    (Surat al-An'am: 32)
