The pleasures of the Worldly life are very Short

 

Whatever you have been given, is merely a provision for the transitory life of this world, and that which is with Allah is better as well as more lasting. That is for those who have believed and put their trust in their Lord.

Truly, the life of this world is temporary. Only the abode of the Hereafter is everlasting. Whoever does evil shall be recompensed to the extent of the evil done; and whoever does good___whether man or woman___ and is a believer___, all such people will enter Paradise wherein they will be provided (with all things in abundance) without measure.

Allah gives His abundant provisions to whom He wills and sparingly (by strict measure to whom He wills). These people are wholly absorbed in the joys of this life, whereas the life of this world is but a paltry thing as compared with the life of the Hereafter.

Say to them, "The pleasures of this worldly life are very short and the life of the Hereafter is much better for the one who fears Allah, and you shall not be wronged in the least even equal to a smallish thread in the long slit of a date-stone. As to death, it will find you out wherever you may be, even though if you are in towers built up strong and high!"

Whatever you have been given, is merely a provision for this worldly life and its adornment; and that which is with Allah is better and will remain forever. Will you not then be wise? Can the person to whom We have made an excellent promise, which he would certainly meet, be ever like the one, whom We have only given the provisions of the worldly life, and who, on the Day of Resurrection, would be presented for punishment.

Beautified for men is the love of things they covet; women, children, treasures of gold and silver, branded beautiful horses, cattle and well-tilled land, but these are mere provisions for the transitory life of this world; the ever-lasting and the best abode, however, is with Allah. Say, "Should I tell you a thing far better than these? There will be Gardens underneath which canals flow for those, who adopt the attitude of piety; there they will dwell for ever and will have pure spouses and Allah will be pleased with them. And Allah watches very closely the conduct of His servants."

But for the fear that all mankind would follow the same (evil) way, (We haven’t done this___ otherwise) We would have provided for those who disbelieve in the Merciful God, houses with roofs of silver and gold, and stairways by which they go to upper chambers, and their doors and their couches on which they recline (all of silver and gold). But all this is merely a provision of this worldly life; and the Hereafter with your Lord is only for the righteous.

Don’t let the free strutting about (and affluence) of the disbelievers in the countries deceive you, for this is merely a brief enjoyment of this transitory life; then, their ultimate abode is Hell; and worst indeed is that place for rest. On the other hand, pious people, who fear Allah, will be given Gardens underneath which canals flow: therein they will live for ever. This is their hospitality from Allah, and that, which is with Allah is the best for the righteous people.

Indeed what is with Allah is far better for you if you knew it. Whatever is with you is transitory and whatever is with Allah is ever-lasting. And We will reward those, who exercise patience, according to their best deeds. Whosoever does righteous deeds__whether male or female__and is a Believer, We will surely grant him live a pure life in this world. And We will reward such people (in the Hereafter) according to their best deeds.

Every being will taste death. And on the Day of Resurrection you will be paid your recompense in full. And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful. As regards the life of this world, it is only the enjoyment of deception.

Allah will admit those who have believed and done good works into Gardens underneath which rivers flow. As for the disbelievers, they are only enjoying the temporary life of this world, and eating as the animals eat, and their final abode is Hell.
