تَفْضِيل
This verse invites us to look at worldly differences with the eyes of the Hereafter.
وَلَلۡأٓخِرَةُ أَكۡبَرُ دَرَجَٰتٖ وَأَكۡبَرُ تَفۡضِيلٗا
But the Hereafter is greater in degrees [of difference] and greater in distinction.
Quran, Al-Isra 17:21
The verse observes that God favors some over others in this life. But it immediately directs us to the Hereafter, where degrees and distinctions are far greater. The disparities of this world are temporary and limited. When we compare our lives to others, we may feel frustrated. This verse reminds us that the true measure lies elsewhere. We can nurture hope by focusing on what matters for eternity.
Today, write down one thing you envy in someone else, then write a concrete action to progress toward an eternal good.
