In the Qur'an, the last
                                                           remaining authentic revela-
                                                           tion which guides humanity
                                                           to the true path, Allah
                                                           repeatedly reminds us of the
                                                           temporary nature of this
                                                           world, summoning us to clar-
                                                           ity of mind and conscious-
                                                           ness. Indeed, wherever we
                                                           live, we are all vulnerable to
                                                           the devastating effects of
                                                           this world, a self-explanatory
                                                           phenomenon for people who
                                                           observe life and the happen-
                                                           ings around us. This is also
                                                           true of all the attractions
                                                           surrounding us. The pictures
                                                           in this page are each a
                                                           demonstration of this fact.
                                                           Any corner of the world, no
                                                           matter how impressive, will
                                                           be exposed to unavoidable

                                                           decades, sometimes in even
                                                           shorter periods of time than
                                                           one would have ever expect-
