They know something superficial of the worldly life, but of the Hereafter they are negligent.(30:7)

وَأَنذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْحَسْرَةِ إِذْ قُضِىَ ٱلْأَمْرُ وَهُمْ فِى غَفْلَةٍۢ وَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٣٩

Warn them of The Day of Remorse when the whole thing will be settled, while they are heedless and do not believe.(19:39)

وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنَاكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُۥ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُهُۥ فُرُطًۭا

 let not your eyes overlook them, seeking the splendor of the worldly life. And do not obey the one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance, and who has followed his desire and whose behavior has exceeded the limits.

وَٱقْتَرَبَ ٱلْوَعْدُ ٱلْحَقُّ فَإِذَا هِىَ شَـٰخِصَةٌ أَبْصَـٰرُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يَـٰوَيْلَنَا قَدْ كُنَّا فِى غَفْلَةٍۢ مِّنْ هَـٰذَا بَلْ كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ ٩٧

and the True Promise draws near, then it will so happen that the eyes of the disbelievers shall remain upraised (in terror, and they will say,) “Alas to us! We were in negligence about this; rather we were transgressors.”(21:97)

اَيْنَمَا تَكُوْنُوْا يُدْرِكْكُّمُ الْمَوْتُ وَلَوْ كُنْتُمْ فِيْ بُرُوْجٍ مُّشَيَّدَةٍ ۗ

Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you should be within towers of lofty construction. (An-Nisa [4] : 78)

Sahl ibn Sa’d reported: The Angel Gabriel came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said, “O Muhammad, live as you wish, for you will surely die. Work as you wish, for you will surely be repaid. Love whomever you wish, for you will surely be separated. Know that the nobility of the believer is in prayer at night, and his honor is in his independence of people.”

بَلْ تُوْثِرُونَ الْحَيَوةَ الدُّنْيَا وَالاٌّخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَى 

Nay(But), you prefer the life of this world. Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting. (87;16-17)

Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari that the Messenger of Allah said,

مَنْ أَحَبَّ دُنْيَاهُ أَضَرَّ بِأخِرَتِهِ وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ اخِرَتَهُ أَضَرَّ بِدُنْيَاهُ فَأثِرُوا مَا يَبْقَى عَلَى مَا يَفْنَى

Whoever loves his worldly life, will suffer in his Hereafter, and whoever loves his Hereafter, will suffer in his worldly life. Therefore, chose that which is everlasting over that which is temporal.

وَمَأ أُوتِيتُم مِّن شَىْءٍ فَمَتَـعُ الْحَيَوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتُهَا وَمَا عِندَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَى And whatever you have been given is an enjoyment of the life of (this) world and its adornment, and that (Hereafter) which is with Allah is better and will remain forever. (28;60)

يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي

He will say: O woe to me, I wish I had sent good ahead for my life.

Surah Al-Fajr 89:24

وَمَا هَٰذِهِ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا لَهْوٌ وَلَعِبٌ ۚ وَإِنَّ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ لَهِيَ الْحَيَوَانُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ

This worldly life is nothing but diversion and amusement. Verily, the home of the Hereafter is the true life if only they knew.

Surah Al-Ankabut 29:64

يٰقَوْمِ اِنَّمَا هٰذِهِ الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَا مَتَاعٌ ۖوَّاِنَّ الْاٰخِرَةَ هِيَ دَارُ الْقَرَارِ(غافر:٣٩)

Thawban reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Soon the nations will be summoned to you just like one is invited to a feast.” It was said, “Will we be few in that day?” The Prophet said, “No, rather you will be many in that day, but you will be scum like such flowing down a torrent. Allah will remove your esteem from the chests of your enemies, and Allah will insert feebleness in your own hearts.” It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, what is this feebleness?” The Prophet said, “Love for the worldly life and hatred of death.”

Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “There are two practices no Muslim man preserves but that he will enter Paradise. Surely, they are both easy yet few act upon them. Glorify Allah at the end of every prayer ten times, praise Him ten times, and exalt Him ten times. These are one hundred and fifty upon the tongue, but one thousand and five hundred upon the Scale. When you retire to your bed, glorify Him, exalt Him, and praise Him one hundred times. These are one hundred upon the tongue, but one thousand upon the Scale. Which one of you would commit two thousand and five hundred sins in a day and night?” They said, “How could we not preserve them?” The Prophet said, “Satan comes to one of you while he is praying and he whispers for him to remember this and that until he turns away and, perhaps, he does not do it. While in his bed, Satan continues to lure him to sleep until he falls asleep.”
