ٱلْعَنْكَبُوت : ٦٤

  • وَمَا And not
  • هَٰذِهِ (is) this
  • ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ life
  • ٱلدُّنۡيَآ (of) the world
  • إِلَّا but
  • لَهۡوٞ amusement
  • وَلَعِبٞۚ and play
  • وَإِنَّ And indeed
  • ٱلدَّارَ the Home
  • ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ (of) the Hereafter
  • لَهِيَ surely it
  • ٱلۡحَيَوَانُۚ (is) the life
  • لَوۡ if only
  • كَانُواْ they
  • يَعۡلَمُونَ know
And this worldly life is not but diversion and amusement. And indeed, the home of the Hereafter - that is the [eternal] life, if only they knew.
And the life of this world is nothing but diversion and play, whereas closeness [to God] pertains to concern for the Hereafter, since the fruits thereof will be revealed in it. But surely the Abode of the Hereafter is indeed the [true] Life, if they only knew, this, [then] they would not prefer this world to it.
