What this life is called, in four words
Set directly against what is called better.
وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا لَعِبٌ وَلَهْوٌ ۖ وَلَلدَّارُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
Wa ma-l-ḥayātu-d-dunyā illā laʿibun wa lahw, wa la-d-dāru-l-ākhiratu khayrun li-lladhīna yattaqūn…
“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?”
