And, with a view to enlarge the viewpoint of people who may not stare at the world, the Holy Quran says: If you desire this worlds life and its adornment, then come, I will give you a provision and allow you to depart a goodly departing And if you desire Allah and His Apostle and the latter abode, then surely Allah has prepared for the doers of good among you a mighty reward. And whoever desires - the gain of this world, We give him of it, and in the hereafter he has no portion.
And were it not that all people had been a single nation, We would certainly have assigned to those who disbelieve in the Beneficent God to make of silver the roofs of their houses and the stairs by which they ascend. And the doors of their houses and the couches on which they recline, And other embellishments of gold; and all this is naught but provision of this worlds life, and the hereafter is with your Lord only for those who guard against evil.
And sometimes, asserts thus to those who are staring at the world and who have tied their ambitions with it: And this worlds life is naught but a play and an idle sport and certainly the abode of the hereafter is better for those who guard against evil; do you not then understand? And this life of the world is nothing but a sport and a play; and as for the next abode, that most surely is the life - did they but know.
Know that this worlds life is only sport and play and gaiety and boasting among yourselves, and a vying in the multiplication of wealth and children, like the rain, whose causing the vegetation to grow, pleases the farmers, then it withers away so that you will see it become yellow, then it becomes dried up and broken down; and in the hereafter is a severe chastisement. LB AB play is an action that has a sort of imaginary system and concord like a child's play or game.
The worldly life is a play because it is transient and goes away soon just like the child's play which initially attracts a lot of attraction of the child but thereafter it ends totally very soon and the children disperse leaving all attachments. All the ambitions of people for achieving which they race with one another and for which the oppressors harass others and battle with them ambitions like wealth, wives, children power and position, ownership etc.
Really all of these ambitions are imaginary mirages. It is so because man owns them only in his imagination and superstition. He never owns them really.
