“Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: Women and sons; Heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses branded (for blood and excellence); and (wealth of) cattle and well-tilled land. Such are the possessions of this world’s life; but in nearness to Allah is the best of the goals (To return to).” (Surah-3 Ale-Imran Ayah-14)

“Those who desire the life of the present and its glitter,- to them, we shall pay (the price of) their deeds therein,- without diminution.”

“They are those for whom there is nothing in the Hereafter but the Fire: vain are the designs they frame therein, and of no effect and the deeds that they do!” (Surah-11 Hud Ayah-15-16)

“Wealth and sons are allurements of the life of this world: But the things that endure, good deeds, are best in the sight of thy Lord, as rewards, and best as (the foundation for) hopes.” (Surah-18 Al-Kahf Ayah-46)

“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.” (Surah-29 *Al-Ankaboot* Ayah-64)

“If any do wish for the transitory things (of this life), We readily grant them – such things as We will, to such person as We will: in the end have We provided Hell for them: they will burn therein, disgraced and rejected.”

“Those who do wish for the (things of) the Hereafter, and strive therefor with all due striving, and have Faith, – they are the ones whose striving is acceptable (to Allah)” (Surah-17 Al-Isra Ayah-18-19)

“Day (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;”
“But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.” (Surah-87 Al-Alaa Ayah-16-17)

“Know ye (all), that the life of this world is but play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting and multiplying, (in rivalry) among yourselves, riches and children. Here is a similitude: How rain and the growth which it brings forth, delight (the hearts of) the tillers; soon it withers; thou wilt see it grow yellow; then it becomes dry and crumbles away. But in the Hereafter is a Penalty severe (for the devotees of wrong). And Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the devotees of Allah.. And what is the life of this world, but goods and chattels of deception? ”

(Surah-57 Al-Hadid Ayah-20)
