So is this life a Play or Not ? According to Quran - 44:38, 6:32

hansolo

4438 And We have not created the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, for mere play.

632 And the worldly life is nothing more than play and distraction, and the abode of the Hereafter is far better for those who are righteous. Do you not comprehend?

imrankhawaja

becoz play is going on and you are a character of that big play,,, just play your role thats it...

or another approach of understanding...

4438 And We have not created the heavens and the earth, and everything
between them, for mere play.
4439 We did not create them except with the truth, but most of them
do not know.

if you properly look at first part , it seems its a entertainment is going on here , the motion of celestial bodies, water air, wild life , supernova , and all other stuff...

but after that , its also mention its not for just playing and entertaining, the results you will definately face regarding your playing shots(actions) ... and its all truth , not a game is going becoz in game u get a chance as much as you want,,
in game kill as many as you want
rob as much gold you want...

but this is a real game my brother with truth...

and in 6 32... God is advising us not to think this game is permanant .. and it can distract you from real motif why you are actually playing this game...

and if you understand the hereafter is far better than this temporary game then its a thing to ponder/comprehend.. if you are intelligent enough...

Peace hansolo.
4438 is about GOD. GOD did not create all this to amuse Himself or play a game!!!!!.

632 is about us. We play ans amuse ourselves in this life.

So what is the problem that you see in these verses?
GOD bless you.
Peace.
