Qur'anic Reflections: The Qur'an Explains the Reality of the World Part 1

The following verse is covered in this talk: "Know well that the worldly life is but a play and an amusement, and a show of beauty, and exchange of boastful claims between you, and a competition of increase in riches and children. (All this is) like a rain, the growth of which attracts the farmers, then it withers, and you see it turning yellow, then it becomes straw. And in the Hereafter there is a severe punishment (for the disbelievers), and forgiveness from Allah and (Allah’s) pleasure (for the believers and the righteous). The worldly life is nothing but a material of delusion." 57:20 In this series Mufti Abdur-Rahman Mangera will be providing inspirational reflections (tadabbur) on some of the most important verses of the Qur’an. The themes will range from life, devotion, prayer, conduct, Ramadan, social life, men, women, marriage, justice, morality, divine bounty, spirit of sacrifice, entertainment, materialism and much more.
