اَلْاَ نْعَام

Al Anam

HR Background

وَ مَا الْحَیٰوةُ الدُّنْیَاۤ اِلَّا لَعِبٌ وَّ لَهْوٌؕ-وَ لَلدَّارُ الْاٰخِرَةُ خَیْرٌ لِّلَّذِیْنَ یَتَّقُوْنَؕ-اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ(32)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And the life of this world is merely play and amusement. And indeed, the abode of the Hereafter is better for those who fear. So, do you not understand?[1]

Commentary

[1]

The life of this world is that which is spent following desires, and a life spent collecting provisions for the Hereafter is a life in this world but not of this world. Therefore, the lives of the prophets and the saints are wholly religious, not materialistic. Furthermore, even the lives of the heedless and the intelligent are very different.
