وَمَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا لَهْوٌ وَلَعِبٌ وَإِنَّ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ لَهِىَ ٱلْحَيَوَانُ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ

“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.”

— Pickthall

“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.”

— Sahih International

“এই পার্থিব জীবন ক্রীড়া-কৌতুক বৈ তো কিছুই নয়। পরকালের গৃহই প্রকৃত জীবন; যদি তারা জানত।”
