Question:
He says: It is stated in the Noble Qur'an that this worldly life is nothing but amusement and play. Please explain this to us? May Allah reward you with good?

Answer:
Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) created this worldly life for the interests of the servants, and to be a farm for the Hereafter. He placed in it what helps in obeying Allah. So the Muslim benefited from this worldly life for his Hereafter, and he utilized what Allah gave him in it to obey Allah, so it became good for him. As for the disbeliever and the hypocrite, they enjoyed this worldly life with its desires, considered it amusement and play, and forgot the Hereafter. So it is amusement and play for the one who neglected the Hereafter, forgot the Hereafter, and occupied himself with the world. As for the one who occupied himself with obeying people and spent his time in worshipping Allah, and utilized Allah's provision to obey Allah, for him this worldly life is good, and it is a mount for the Hereafter, and a farm for the Hereafter. Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may Allah do you good.
