Assalamu Alaikum,

Have you read verse 131 of chapter 20. طه in the Holy Quran?

وَلا تَمُدَّنَّ عَينَيكَ إِلىٰ ما مَتَّعنا بِهِ أَزوٰجًا مِنهُم زَهرَةَ الحَيوٰةِ الدُّنيا لِنَفتِنَهُم فيهِ ۚ وَرِزقُ رَبِّكَ خَيرٌ وَأَبقىٰ

English-YusufAli translation
______________________________

Nor strain thine eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to parties of them, the splendour of the life of this world, through which We test them: but the provision of thy Lord is better and more enduring.

———-

It’s very hard to remind ourselves of the bigger perspective of this World and the Hereafter, especially when the reality of this World permeates our every sight and senses.

But the splendour of this World is but a pale imitation of the Eternal – and we must always live in remembrance of Him, so that the Ultimate Reality is always in sight, God-Willing!
