Dunya is the Farm of Akhirah

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 06:32). ‘Wa Lalddāru l-‘Ākhiratu Khayrun Lilladhīna Yattaqūn’, ‘But the home of the Hereafter is best for those who are pious.’ The place and home of Akhirah is better for the pious people who fear Allah ﷻ. When people are in this world, they forget about Akhirah. They forget that we will live on in Akhirah. They either forget, or there are many people who don’t believe in it now. But their belief is not important. What’s important is that it’s is better.

This world is a place of tests. Even if people have everything, there is not anyone without a test in this world. Certainly, there is some test. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has written this for mankind, for everyone. It is a test here. It is not good here for those who fear Allah ﷻ. What’s good is our home and place hereafter in Akhirah.

For those who don’t fear Allah ﷻ, who are not ashamed of Allah ﷻ, who don’t accept Allah ﷻ, it is better here. Even though it is much worse, it is still better for them than Akhirah. Because their place in Akhirah is so bad that there is no salvation from there.

No matter how good this world is for the Mu’mins, even if they live the best life and have more wealth and property than everyone else, even if they have good health, yet Akhirah is better and more beautiful for them. All of this is nothing. Dunya is a low place. By its name: Dunya means the lowest.

Therefore, if people want Akhirah to be better, they should follow the orders of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla in this world. They should fear Allah ﷻ to have the mercy of Allah ﷻ upon them insha’Allah. Because Dunya is the farm of Akhirah for everyone. You plant here and get the fruit over there.

Those who don’t believe in Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and don’t carry out the orders of Allah think that everything will finish here. It will not finish. There is Akhirah. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla who created us told this. ‘ ’, ‘Qawluhu l-Haqq’, ‘His word is the truth.’ (Qur’ān 06:73). What He ﷻ says is Haqq/true. The rest is false. It is not true, it is a lie, imagination and all kinds of useless things. Haqq/True is Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. May Allah ﷻ let all of us be with the truth. May our Akhirah be prosperous.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
