Temporary World

Temporary World – الدنيا الفانية

Malik Ibn Dinar said:

لو كانت الدنيا من ذهب يفنى ،
والآخرة من خزف يبقى ،
لكان الواجب أن يؤثر خزف يبقى ، على ذهب يفنى

“If the world consisted of TEMPORARY GOLD,
and the hereafter of ETERNAL SAND,
then a smart person should choose the ETERNAL SAND,
and ignore the TEMPORARY GOLD.”

Imam al-Qurtubi comments:

فكيف والآخرة من ذهب يبقى ، والدنيا من خزف يفنى
“Well, then how difficult can our choice realy be,
when our world consists of TEMPORARY SAND,
and the hereafter consists of ETERNAL GOLD?!”

[“Jami li Ahkam Al-Qur’an”, 20/22].
