The life we see now is like a dream. The soul that is dreaming will enter into a sharper dimension of dream with death.

When one is caught up in this world, the life of this world would drag him inside and suffocate him, so to speak. Such a person would struggle for a lifetime. But if one submits to God completely, he would live every moment in peace and beauty and his affairs would be straightened very easily.

The only aim of a believer is to earn the most of God’s good pleasure as he has no expectations from the life of this world.

For some, the facts of life mean forgetting about God. They jump into the world and put themselves into trouble for no reason.

People have a difficult trial because in this world, people are given a valuable training and are educated to be worthy of Heaven.

They [some people] don't understand God’s laws; that’s why they are so worried about everything. They think that every object, every being in the world is independently capable. They wrongly think that cars, houses, medications, in short everything has a power that is independent from God. That’s why they are continuously suffering, continuously in pain. If they comprehended that there is only one God and only God has power, if they surrendered to God, they would have lived very comfortably.

God doesn’t want people to forget about the transiency of the world. God shows people that this world is not created to simply survive with diseases and troubles they face. People learn about loving and being loved through troubles, ordeals and diseases. Without them people’s education wouldn’t be completed.

Death is waking up from a dream. After that moment, after death, the images continue uninterruptedly. The life in this world is a dream. Death is passing to a sharper image from that dream. Muslims would never face anything that would upset or disturb them after the moment they die.

Both the life of this world and death are pleasant for Muslims.

Every person lives imprisoned in their physical body in this world. When the trial is over, this imprisonment inside that body will come to an end and the real life will begin in Heaven or hell.

Life is a shadow existence, an illusion.

Man, who is composed of flesh and bones, has no basis for arrogance. We will stay in this world for a very short time, die, turn into dust and go to the eternal Hereafter.

Religion encompasses everything in my life. Religion and life are one within the other.

The characteristics of this world resemble 50% of hell and 50% of Heaven. Looking at the 50% hell-like characteristics and refraining from sentimentality and looking at the 50% Heaven-like characteristics and never forgetting the hell-like features, knowing that they are specifically created, is important.

There are both qualities resembling Heaven and Hell in this world. God makes people remember Him by creating ordeals.

This is not the real world, but a very deficient example of the real one in the Hereafter This world is only created for the trial.

This world is a place of education and a race for doing good deeds. Every difficulty, pain and trouble is a blessing that increases the value of this race.

We are not sent to this world to survive and to indulge in vain activities but to be tried and trained.

We will see everything we know in this world in its actual and best form without being dependent on any cause, in Heaven. We need electricity or fuel in this world but in Heaven everything exists and works without any means.

When we die, we will clearly see that we are living in a dream-like realm. With death, we will proceed to the Hereafter like waking up from a dream.

When we look attentively, we can see that the world is a high quality dream.

God makes anyone who trusts God and doesn’t ambitiously feel attached to this world live a beautiful life.

One’s senses and perceptions become clearer with death. When they die, people will feel like their lives were just like a dream.

This world is not created for pleasure and enjoyment. True enjoyment will be in eternal Heaven.

There are giant meteors constantly passing close to the Earth and boiling magma underneath our feet. Yet many people don't even think about it for a second. Many people are unaware of the reason why they are in this world and live their lives looking around with blank stares. They are usually only interested in what they’re eating or drinking at that moment.
