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...)
