The Holy Quran 40:39 — Surah Ghafir

Arabic text

يَـٰقَوْمِ إِنَّمَا هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا مَتَـٰعٌ وَإِنَّ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ هِىَ دَارُ ٱلْقَرَارِ

Translation

"O my people! This worldly (present) life is a trivial (fleeting) gain (because it will soon come to an end). Undoubtedly the Aakhirah (the life in Jannah) is really a place to live (because it will not come to an end)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The reality of this world and the Hereafter: that is, do not become absorbed in the perishing, passing life and a few days’ pleasure and springtime and forget the Hereafter. The life of this world, for better or worse, is bound to come to an end in any case. After it will begin that life which will never end.
