Al-'Ankabut 29:64

<h2>Allah tells us how insignificant and transient this world is, and how it will soon end. All that it</h2><p>وَإِنَّ الدَّارَ الاٌّخِرَةَ لَهِىَ الْحَيَوَانُ</p><p>(Verily, the home of the Hereafter -- that is the life indeed,) means, the true everlasting life that will never end, but will continue forever and ever.</p><p>لَوْ كَانُواْ يَعْلَمُونَ</p><p>(if they but knew.) means, they would prefer that which will last over that which will pass away.

This life of the world is but a pastime and a game. Lo! the home of the Hereafter - that is Life, if they but knew.

What is the life of this world but amusement and play? but verily the Home in the Hereafter,- that is life indeed, if they but knew.

And this life of the world is only amusement and play! Verily, the home of the Hereafter, that is the life indeed (i.e. the eternal life that will never end), if they but knew

The life of this world is nothing but diversion and play, and the Home of the Hereafter is the Life, if they only knew.
