This is a parable or the reality of the world in the Shari'ah; that it has no value, and that its parable is the parable of delicious food and delicious drink, whose end is a foul smell, except for what is for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in the form of remembrance, knowledge, or charity; because He said:; meaning what is similar to it among the matters of obedience; so this is what remains of what this person does in this fleeting worldly life.
