Dunya

Dunya is to reach out for grapes that you can never grasp, because this is the nature of dunya, you will never be able to get it, it will always evade you. Dunya is illusory nature of the word, its the aspect that deludes you, thinking that you are permanent, thinking that you can transgress, thinking that you are independent from Allah - Sheikh hamza yusuf

 “What is dunya? It is to be unmindful of Allah.”- Rumi

 This has been made beautiful to people: the love of the desires such as women, sons, piled up heaps of gold and silver, branded horses, cattle and land.   That is the provision of this life but with Allah is the best place of return.  - Aal-'Imraan:14

“This life in comparison to the life hereafter is nothing except like that which one of you finds if he sticks his finger into the ocean and then sees what it brings back with it."  -Muslim
  
"Surely, this dunya is sweet and fresh.  And Allah makes you the heirs of it and then watches what you do.  So beware of this dunya and beware regarding women."  Muslim

O people!  The promise of Allah is surely true so do not let the life of this world deceive you nor be deceived by the Deceiver. -Faatir:5
  
"Verily this dunya is cursed and all that is in it is cursed except for the remembrance of Allah and all that goes with it and a scholar or a student."  At-Tirmidhi
