Yet the Hereafter is better [11] and more lasting.
[11] That is, your real ailment is that you prefer the world over the Hereafter, whereas the Hereafter is better than the world for two reasons. First, the blessings there are far superior to the blessings of this world. Second, the blessings there are everlasting and never-ending, while the blessings of this world are perishable.
