The Cattle - 6:94 You have come to Us as one, just as We first created you. You have left behind what we made you imagine. We do not see your intercessors with you, whom you claim to be partners (with God in the decision to be made about you). The ties between you have been severed. Those whom you used to put forward have forsaken you.
The life of this world is a very short, temporary livelihood:
Prophet Jonah/10:45 On the Day when We gather them together, they will recognize one another as if they had remained (in the world) for an hour of the day. Those who deny the meeting with Allah are the losers. Nor have they found the truth.

Ta-Ha/20:103 "They talk secretly among themselves, "You are only ten (in this world)."
Ta-Ha/20:104 "We know well what they talk about. The most right-minded of them used to say, "You stayed only one day."

The Romans/30:55 When the Hour (the end of the world) is realized, the guilty swear by Allah that they were only in the world for an hour. That is how they were mistaken.

The Forgiver/40:39 O my people, the life of this world is a temporary livelihood. The abode of the Hereafter is an everlasting abode.

The Cave/18:45 Give them as an example of the life of this world the plant of the earth, which is nourished by the water We send down from the sky and then turns to rubbish blown away by the wind. Allah is all-powerful.

Prophet Jonah/10:24 The life of this world is like this example: the water We send down from the sky mixes with the plants that people and animals eat. This lasts until the earth is adorned and its inhabitants think that they have dominion over nature. Then Our command comes to it by night or by day. We make it uproot itself as if it had not possessed anything the day before. Thus do We explain the verses for a people who reflect.

The Iron/57:20 Know that the life of this world is but play, amusement, adornment, boasting among yourselves, and a race to multiply money and children. It is like the rain that makes a plant grow which the disbelievers like. But then the plant withers and turns yellow and becomes rubbish. In the Hereafter there is a severe punishment from Allah and forgiveness and contentment. The life of this world is but a temporary pleasure that deceives.

The Family Of Imran/3:14 Pleasures such as women, children, heaps of gold and silver, trained horses, cattle and crops seem attractive to people. These are the blessings of the life of this world. But the best destination is with Allah.
The Family Of Imran/3:185 Everyone will taste death. On the Day of Resurrection your rewards will be given to you in full. And whoever is rescued from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he is victorious. The life of this world is but a deceitful pleasure.

The Cattle/6:32 The life of this world is but play and amusement. Better for the righteous is the abode of the Hereafter. Do you not think?

The Repentance/9:38 "O you who believe, what has happened to you that when you were told, "Take action in the way of Allah,"you fell to the ground? Are you content with the life of this world instead of the Hereafter? The blessings of the life of this world are little compared to the life of the Hereafter."
