The questioner : The questioner Ahmad Sa'd from Damascus inquires about the noble verse [Al-'Ankabut 29:64]?
The Shaykh : Yes. Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) mentioned before this that the life of this world is play and diversion; play with the bodies and diversion with the hearts. He clarified that the Hereafter is the true life, meaning it is the complete life in which there is no deficiency. This is like His saying (the Exalted)[Al-Fajr 89:24] So the true life is the life of the Hereafter, because it is a life after which there is no death, so it became the true life. This is the meaning of His saying , meaning it is the complete life in every respect. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
And indeed, the home of the Hereafter - that is the [eternal] life
وَإِنَّ الدّارَ الآخِرَةَ لَهِيَ الحَيَوانُThe Shaykh : Yes. Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) mentioned before this that the life of this world is play and diversion; play with the bodies and diversion with the hearts. He clarified that the Hereafter is the true life, meaning it is the complete life in which there is no deficiency. This is like His saying (the Exalted)
He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."
يَقولُ يا لَيتَني قَدَّمتُ لِحَياتيis the true life
لَهِيَ الحَيَوانُThe questioner : May Allah reward you.
