Juz 11: A strong building or a falling one?

Series: 30 days 30 Juz 30 Ayahs
Surah: Surah Tawbah 109

أَفَمَنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَـٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ تَقْوَىٰ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِضْوَٰنٍ خَيْرٌ أَم مَّنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَـٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍۢ فَٱنْهَارَ بِهِۦ فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ 

Which is better: those who laid the foundation of their building on the fear and pleasure of Allah, or those who did so on the edge of a crumbling cliff that tumbled down with them into the Fire of Hell? And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.


The two types of buildings are described:

1) The foundation is strong and solid

2) The foundation is weak and it is built on the edge of a cliff which itself is crumbling and tumbling down. 

Which is better? 
Of course the first one. 

First building is based on the Taqwah (Allah consciousness) and pleasure of Allah.

Second one is based on hypocrisy. Nothing is done for the sake of Allah but for the sake of this world. Allah's taqwa and Allah's pleasure is not considered. 

We have to construct the building of our lives on Taqwa and Allah's pleasure. Whatever we do in this life, we have to keep Allah in our mind and consider whether Allah will like this or not. So that our building does not fall.
