Our Real Home is Hereafter not this world

this question arises in the mind of every human being that why we are here in this world? what is the purpose of this life and what will happen after we will die? Allah SWT has given the answers of all these questions in Glorious Quran.

Allah SWT says in the Quran:

I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me. Verse (51:56) 

 So in light of this verse the basic purpose of our creation is to worship our creator Allah SWT. we are in this world to worship him and glorify him. secondly Allah SWT has not made this world our permanent home. He created death so we can go to the next world that is our permanent home where we will get Heaven or hell depending upon our deeds.

 Allah SWT says in Quran about present world

The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception. 3:185

In another verse it is said

Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the hereafter. But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world as compared to the hereafter. 9:38

so in light of these two verses it becomes clear that this world is valueless as compared to hereafter. our real preparation should be for the day of Judgement. we try so much harder to get wealth, degrees and other things which will not go with us in the hereafter. but how much Importance we give to our deeds which got real Importance? how much we Remember Allah SWT?

we should try to prepare ourselves for our final destination if we really want to be successful.
