Al-An'am 6:32

Word by word

وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا لَعِبٌ وَلَهْوٌ ۖ وَلَلدَّارُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

And the worldly life is not but amusement and diversion; but the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allāh, so will you not reason?

وما الحياة الدنيا في غالب أحوالها إلا غرور وباطل، والعمل الصالح للدار الآخرة خير للذين يخشون الله، فيتقون عذابه بطاعته واجتناب معاصيه. أفلا تعقلون -أيها المشركون المغترون بزينة الحياة الدنيا- فتقدِّموا ما يبقى على ما يفنى؟
