The Next Life is Far Better

Surah Ad-Duhaa

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ

Your Lord has neither forsaken you nor hates you. [93:3]

وَلَلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ

And the next life is certainly far better for you than this one. [93:4]

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ

And ˹surely˺ your Lord will give so much to you that you will be pleased. [93:5]

In these three ayats in Surah Ad-Duhaa, Allah tells us that He has not abandoned us nor does He hate us. This should comfort us when we sin and feel as though we are worthless or horrible people. It's a reminder that we all do wrong things in this life and the beautiful part is that Allah (SWT) is always there when we run back to Him. He wants us to repent and come back to Him for help and guidance. He will never abandon us nor hate us.

Allah also reminds us that the next life, when we make it to Paradise In Sha Allah, will be way better than the lives we are living now. This life in this Dunya is so temporary we shouldn't get caught up in the nonsense of this world. We need to repent constantly. Keep worshipping Allah (SWT) however and whenever you can.

May Allah make it easy for us. May He guide us toward the straight path and keep our hearts firm in His religion.

This is a reminder to me first and then you. <3
