Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘The world has been named dunya because it is lower than every thing, and the Hereafter has been named Akhira because it contains recompense and reward.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنّما سُمِّيَتِ الدُّنيا دُنيا لأنّها أدنى مِن كلِّ شيءٍ ، وسُمِّيَت الآخِرةُ آخِرةً لأنّ فيها الجزاءَ والثوابَ.
