The reality of this world

“This world is a passing dream which the sleeper is convinced is real, until unexpectedly the dawn of death frees him from this fantasy.”

    It is so true. Human beings tend to forget that life on earth is only a journey and a journey should end one day. If only human beings could get themselves prepared for death at any time in their lives, there would not have been too many bad deeds on earth.

    In the Name of ALLAH, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

    20. 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 Allâh and (His) Good Pleasure (for the believers, good-doers), whereas the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment.

    (Sura Hadid) – Al Quran

    And:

    Nay (behold), you prefer the life of this world, but the hereafter is better and more enduring. (Surat al-A’la: 16-17)

    130. O you who believe! Eat not Ribâ (usury)[] doubled and multiplied, but fear Allâh that you may be successful.
    131. And fear the Fire, which is prepared for the disbelievers.
    132. And obey Allâh and the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) that you may obtain mercy.[]
    133. And march forth in the way (which leads to) forgiveness from your Lord, and for Paradise as wide as are the heavens and the earth, prepared for Al-Muttaqûn (the pious – see V.2:2).
    134. Those who spend [in Allâh’s Cause – deeds of charity, alms, etc.] in prosperity and in adversity,[] who repress anger,[] and who pardon men; verily, Allâh loves Al-Muhsinûn[] (the good-doers).
    135. And those who, when they have committed Fahishah (illegal sexual intercourse etc.) or wronged themselves with evil, remember Allâh and ask forgiveness for their sins; – and none can forgive sins but Allâh – And do not persist in what (wrong) they have done, while they know.[]
    136. For such, the reward is Forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens with rivers flowing underneath (Paradise), wherein they shall abide forever. How excellent is this reward for the doers (who do righteous deeds according to Allâh’s Orders).
    137. Many similar ways (and mishaps of life) were faced by nations (believers and disbelievers) that have passed away before you (as you have faced in the battle of Uhud), so travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who disbelieved (in the Oneness of Allâh, and disobeyed Him and His Messengers).
    138. This (the Qur’ân) is a plain statement for mankind, a guidance and instruction to those who are Al-Muttaqûn (the pious – see V.2:2).
    139. So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be superior (in victory) if you are indeed (true) believers.

    Sura 3. Âl-‘Imrân
