Examples from the Qur'an
But there came after them successors [i.e., later generations] who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil -
Allāh wants to accept your repentance, but those who follow [their] passions want you to digress [into] a great deviation.
Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire - of women and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but Allāh has with Him the best return [i.e., Paradise].
