The life of this world is fleeting, temporary and a test. People should love and fear Allah, be devoted to Him, love Him passionately and never forget Him. That is the reason for our existence. This episode speaks about how Allah has created the world as a trial for humanity. He warns us against becoming too attached to the temporary allurements of this world, and instead focus on Paradise.
The believer understands that the things of the world are of short duration and thus does not pursue them out of greed. The unbeliever, however, is deceived by the satan, and makes the attainment of worldly things the ultimate purpose of their lives. We should all strive to love Allah with passion and not forget Him, as He is the reason for our existence in this temporary world. Allah has created the world and its inhabitants to serve His purpose of testing humans for their faith. He has given us all the resources necessary for a comfortable life; however, most people fail to recognize the purpose of life and instead choose to pursue worldly pleasures.
People who accept Allah's will and strive to abide by His words will find true joy and delight in this life and the next. For those who choose to reject Allah, this life and death will hold little meaning and significance. Allah, the Creator, has set limits on mankind and demands a true and sincere faith to be demonstrated in order for one to attain His good pleasure. In life, man is tested to see how dedicated he is to his faith, and how he responds to the events that occur. Allah will test man with both fear, hunger, losses and blessings, and man must show patience and trust in Allah whatever the circumstance.
Death is a part of Allah's trial and is the end of this world and the beginning of the next. Believers are not afraid of death, as it marks the end of their trial.
