Wht is the reality of this world | Qyamah in Islam

🌴Reflect on the reality of this world, how quickly it will end & how it is a place of trial and a source of delusion.

Allah says: "Know that the life of this world is only play & amusement, pomp and mutual boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth & children, as the likeness of vegetation after rain, thereof the growth is pleasing to the tiller; afterwards it dries up and you see it turning yellow; then it becomes straw."
              ◕( 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐡-𝐀𝐥 𝐇𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝟓𝟕:𝟐𝟎)

🌴There are numerous verses in the Quran that clarify the reality of the life of this world. The same can be found in the narrations of the Noble Messenger ﷺ

Allah says:"And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion." ◕ (𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐡 𝐀𝐥-𝐇𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝟓𝟕:𝟐𝟎)

🌴This means that the enjoyment is fleeing and temporary. We must think about how quickly this world ends, how quickly it will be over & how the real life is that of the hereafter, as Allāh ﷻ says:

"And indeed, the home of the hereafter - that is the eternal life"
                            ◕(𝐐𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝟐𝟗-𝟔𝟒)

🌴As for the life of this world, then it is quickly over and will quickly disappear. Reflect upon this & the day when people will be made to stand before Allāh ﷻ on day of judgment, when they await their reckoning. How long will they wait?

The answer is 50 thousand years.

Allah says:

"A day the extent of which is 50 thousand years."  ◕(𝐀𝐥-𝐌𝐚'𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐣 𝟕𝟎-𝟒)

🌴What is the period that people spend in the life of this world compared to 50 thousand years? What is the lifespan of a person?

The Messenger  ﷺ said:

"The life span of people from my Ummah is between 60 & 70 years."           
                         ◕(𝐓𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐡𝐢 𝟑𝟓𝟓𝟎).

🌴If we suppose that a person lives for 60 years. If 15 years or a bit less, was subtracted from this, taking into account the period prior to puberty. Or suppose an entire third was subtracted from this due to sleep, because whoever live 60 years and sleeps 8 hours a night during this time will sleep for approximately 20 years. Therefore, the time you really utilize is your life is relatively small. What is this small amount of years compared to a day the extent of which is 50 thousand years? If the servant reflects upon how quickly this world  passes by & how quickly it ends, then this will also be a great incentive for him to stay far from sin. Consider this meaning in the light of the statement of the Prophet ﷺ when he said:

"Be in this world as though you are stranger or a wayfarer."
                            ~◕ (𝐁𝐮𝐤𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢 𝟔𝟒𝟏𝟔).
