فَمَآ أُوتِيتُم مِّن شَيۡءٖ فَمَتَٰعُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۚ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ
So whatever thing you have been given - it is but [for] enjoyment of the worldly life. But what is with Allah is better and more lasting for those who have believed and upon their Lord rely
Only that person who reposes faith in God can be desirous of the Hereafter. In reality, whenever a man moves in the direction of the Hereafter, it appears to him that he is in danger of losing worldly benefits. Worldly considerations seem to be slipping from his grasp. This being so, the only thing which keeps a man steady on the path of the Hereafter is his unwavering reliance on the assurances of God. He should firmly believe that whatever he is losing in this world for the sake of God, will be multiplied many times over by God in the Hereafter. The bounty of this world is of a temporary nature, while the good things of the Hereafter are eternal and never ending. A short-lived benefit in comparison with eternal bounty carries no weight whatsoever.
آخرت كا چاهنے والا وهي بن سكتاهے جو الله پر بھروسه كرنے والا هو۔ جب بھي آدمي آخرت كي طرف بڑھتا هے تو دنيا كے فائدے اس كو خطرے ميںنظر آنے لگتے هيں۔ دنيا كي مصلحتيں اس كوچھوٹتي هوئي دكھائي ديتي هيں۔ايسي حالت ميں جو چيز آدمي كو آخرت كے راسته پر ثابت قدم ركھتي هے وه صرف يه كه اس كو خدا كے وعدوں پر بھروسه هو اس كو يقين هو، كه خدا كي خاطر وه دنيا ميں جتنا كھوئے گا اس سے بهت زياده وه آخرت ميں خدا كي طرف سے پائے گا۔
دنيا كي هر نعمت وقتي هے اور آخرت كي نعمتيں ابدي هيں جوكبھي ختم هونے والي نهيں۔ اور ابدي نعمت كے مقابله ميں وقتي نعمت كي كوئي حقيقت نهيں۔
