Phonetic SpellingĀ-khi-rah

Learning Notes
Micro Tafsir
In the Quran, the *ākhirah* is consistently presented as the true, everlasting abode. Surah Al-A'la summarizes the divine perspective: *Wa al-ākhiratu khayrun wa abqā* ('And the Hereafter is better and more enduring'), constantly reminding humanity to prioritize eternal success over temporary gains.
Memory Hook
Associate *ākhirah* with the timeless balance prayer: *wa fī al-ākhirati ḥasanatan* ('and in the Hereafter, good').
