Temporary Distinctions This life is not everything. This is the ground on which to work hard for the harvest that we will enjoy in the hereafter, in shaa Allah. In this life Allah created us in so many colors, languages, and castes— some are poor, while some are rich; some are physically disabled, while some are fit; some are beautiful, while some are not. But these distinctions are not permanent— they’re only a temporary test. After death these will all prove to be vain except our faith, ama’l (good deeds), and ikhlas, or pure heart. None of our beauty, scholarly achievement, family ties, or wealth will be of any value that day. That day a man shall flee from his brother, from his mother and his father, from his wife and his children. For on that day every man will have enough to make him indifferent to others. [Quran, 80: 34-37]
