Surah Yunus, Ayat 25-26

Ayat 25. Allah calls to the home of peace (i.e. Paradise, by accepting Allah's religion of Islamic Monotheism and by doing righteous good deeds and abstaining from polytheism and evil deeds) and guides whom He wills to a Straight Path.
Ayat 26. For those who have done good is the best (reward, i.e. Paradise) and even more (i.e. having the honour of glancing at the Countenance of Allah SWT) Neither darkness nor dust nor any humiliating disgrace shall cover their faces. They are the dwellers of Paradise, they will abide therein forever. 


Hazrat Al-Mustaurad bin Shaddad (May allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said, "This world (i.e., its pleasures and duration is so insignificant) in comparison with the Hereafter is (similar to the amount of water) one gets when he puts his finger in the sea. Let him then see what it returns with".
[Muslim Hadith # 6843].  


Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Yunus Ayat 26. "the dwellers of Paradise, they will abide therein forever" This Hadith shows the value of the Hereafter and its blessings compared to the worldly life. The proportion between the two is that the former is like an ocean while the latter is like the proportion of water left on one's finger when dipped in the sea!
