Author’s Quotation:
“If you are someone who is following the material world and wants to acquire everything which you see in this temporary world, you have to read Surah At Takathur. Because after reading this surah, all the beauty of this world became so faded for me because it’s nothing compared to Jannah. People only want a few papers which smell bad, which they call money, and just follow it everywhere. But the real treasure is present in Jannah, and only God’s way can get us the paradise.”
