AlGamesReview :
Before we even came into this world, our souls were already created and took a pledge with Allah — that’s the state before dunya.
-
Quran says:
-
“And when your Lord brought forth from the children of Adam, from their loins, their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves: ‘Am I not your Lord?’ They said: ‘Yes, we testify.’”
(Surah Al-A’raf 7:172)
-
So before dunya existed for us, we already acknowledged Allah as our Lord. Then this world is just a temporary stop — not our beginning, and definitely not our end.
-
Then comes the reality of dunya itself, as we said before:
-
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“This world is a prison for the believer, and a paradise for the disbeliever.”
(Sahih Muslim)
-
Quran evidence:
For the disbeliever:
-
“The life of this world is made attractive to those who disbelieve — they enjoy it for a little while, then they have no help.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:212)
-
For the believer:
-
“The life of this world is nothing but amusement and play. The real home is the Hereafter — if only they knew.”
(Surah Al-Ankabut 29:64)
-
Simple full picture:
We existed before dunya and promised to worship Allah. Then we’re sent here to be tested. For the believer, it feels like a “prison” because we hold back from wrong and keep our promise. For the one who turns away, it feels like paradise because they follow every desire — but it’s all short-lived. After dunya comes the real, eternal life.
