"Know that the life of this world is only a game, a temporary attraction, a means of boastfulness among yourselves and a place for multiplying your wealth and children. It is like the rain which produces plants that are attractive to the unbelievers. These plants flourish, turn yellow, and then become crushed bits of straw. In the hereafter there will be severe punishment or forgiveness and mercy from God. This worldly life is only an illusion."
