    The document discusses two lives mentioned in the Quran: life in the finite "world" and life in the infinite "hereafter". The words "world" and "hereafter" are used 115 times each in the Quran, sometimes together in the same verse and sometimes separately, to clearly delineate between the temporary life of this world and the eternal life of the hereafter. Two example verses are provided that reference the illusion of life in this world and a sign for those who fear the torment of the hereafter.

    16 ­ World and Hereafter

    The Quran speaks of two lives: the one in this “world” (Dunya), which is finite, and the
    other in the “hereafter” (Ahiret) which is infinite. The relation between these words in the
    Quran is very clear. These two words which are used sometimes together in a verse and
    sometimes separately, are mentioned 115 times each. There are two examples below:

    185- The life of this world is no more than an illusion.


    3. The Family of Imran, 185

    103 - This should be a sign for those who fear the torment of the Hereafter…
    11. Hud 103
