Reminds me of an old poem we had to learn at school:
يا أهل أندلس الله منّكم
ماء وأشجّار وأنهار
ما جنّة الخلد إلّا في دياركم
وإذا حُيّرت هذا كنت أختار
It roughly translates to:
O People of Andulus, Allah (God) has blessed you
(With) Water, Trees and Rivers
The eternal Paradise is but in your Home
If I had to choose, I would've chosen this ( (between Andulus or Paradise)
For context, this is a poem from when Andulus (Spain) was a thriving Islamic State. The poet was so proud of it, that he claimed he'll choose it over paradise. (That's a big claim from a Muslim, and it's probably an exaggeration here, but...)
