The world as a prison of the believer.
Alhamdulillah,
This dunya(world) is nothing and a home of trials for a believer.
Allah says,
Al-'Ankabut 29:64
وَمَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا لَهْوٌ وَلَعِبٌۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ لَهِىَ ٱلْحَيَوَانُۚ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ
And this worldly life is not but diversion and amusement. And indeed, the home of the Hereafter - that is the [eternal] life, if only they knew.
As reported in hadith,
Jabir ibn 'Abdullah reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, passed through the market, entering from part of the high part of the city and the people were on both sides of him. He passed by a dead one-eared goat and reached out and took its ear. Then he said, "Who would like to buy this for a dirham?" They said, "Why would we want it when it is worthless? What would we do with it?" He said, "Would you like to have it?" "No," they replied. He asked them that three times and they said, "No, by Allah! If it were alive, it would have a defect as it only has one ear. Why would we want it when it is dead?" The Prophet said, "By Allah, this world is less in the sight of Allah than this goat is to you.""
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 962.
Look at how the prophet peace be upon him gave a similitude of this world to the goat that is dead.
As reported in hadith,
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
The world is a prison-house for a believer and Paradise for a non-believer.
Sahih Muslim 2956.
The believer keeps feeling hardship and trials from his lord until he returns to him sinless.
A believer is under the bondage of commandments of Allah and has prohibitions while a kaafir can do anything in this world since he has no commandments.
So that is the paradise of the disbelievers but a prison for a believer
