Surah ElImran v185

3:185

كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ ۗ وَإِنَّمَا تُوَفَّوْنَ أُجُورَكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ

ۖ فَمَن زُحْزِحَ عَنِ ٱلنَّارِ وَأُدْخِلَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازَ ۗ وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا مَتَـٰعُ ٱلْغُرُورِ ١٨٥

Every soul will taste death. And you will only receive your full reward on the Day of Judgment.

Whoever is spared from the Fire

and is admitted into Paradise will ˹indeed˺ triumph,

whereas the life of this world is no more than the delusion of enjoyment.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

We all know that we will die one day.

We see our friends, relatives, and neighbors leaving us.

Allah (SWT) says that we will receive full rewards in the life hereafter.

Whoever is saved from hellfire and admitted to Jannah is truly successful.

The life of this dunya is a deception of enjoyment.

May Allah (SWT) grant us the ability to balance this life, the dunya, and the hereafter. Ameen.

With Salaam and Regards
