An honest diagnosis of what people choose
Two verses, stated without softening.
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ
Bal tu'thirūna-l-ḥayāta-d-dunyā, wa-l-ākhiratu khayrun wa abqā.
“But you prefer the worldly life, While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.”
