➋ {وَ لَلدَّارُ الْاٰخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ … :} That is, the home of the Hereafter is far better than this world, but only for those who avoid disbelief, polytheism, hypocrisy, and major sins. Otherwise, for the disbeliever, the life of this world is better, as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: [ اَلدُّنْيَا سِجْنُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَ جَنَّةُ الْكَافِرِ ] [ مسلم، الزھد، باب الدنیا سجن…:۲۹۵۶ ] "The world is a prison for the believer and a paradise for the disbeliever."

In What Sense is the Life of This World Play and Amusement:
This does not mean that there is absolutely no seriousness in the life of this world, or that it has been created merely for play, amusement, or entertainment. Rather, it means that in comparison to the real and everlasting life of the Hereafter, this life is like a person who spends some time in play and amusement to pass the time, and then turns his attention back to his real work. This play and amusement is only for those who are superficial and worldly, and since the majority of people living in this world are such that they remain lost in the attractions of this world, therefore, sometimes the life of this world is called play and amusement, and sometimes it is called a means of deception. Otherwise, for the believers and those who fear Allah, every moment of this worldly life is precious, because whatever they sow in this world, that is what they will reap in the Hereafter.
