يَا قَوْمِ
إِنَّمَا
هَذِهِ
الْحَيَاةُ
الدُّنْيَا
مَتَاعٌ
وَإِنَّ
الْآخِرَةَ
هِيَ
دَارُ
الْقَرَارِ

"O my people! This life of the present is nothing but (temporary) convenience: It is the Hereafter that is the Home that will last.
— Abdullah Yusufali
O my people! This life of the world is only a [passing] enjoyment, and indeed the Hereafter is the abiding home.
