This world is a field to work for the hereafter. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam)'s Ummah has been sent in this world for a very great object.
The example of this world is like a king who send a few people into his treasure room saying that shortly he will send them out, so at that time whatever they will be possessing will be their property.
Inside the treasure room, on one side there are heaps of gold and silver, on another side are lying pearls and jewels and diamond, then at another place in the room, delicious food and soft beds are arranged, with entertainment.
Now some people think that the king may send them out any minute. They quickly gather the gold, silver, pearls and gems. They feel they will go out from there and organize the food and beds for themselves afterwards. There is another group of people who think that they have just arrived. They feel, 'Let us enjoy the food, then lay down to rest. After that we will take from the treasures. There is ample time.' So they eat, sleep and pass their valuable time without taking from the treasures.
Suddenly the king sends everyone out. Now those who had collected the valuables can enjoy their lives eating and sleeping while those that wasted their time and did not accumulate anything will begin to regret.
Every moment of this worldly life is very valuable. Here we have to earn for the long and everlasting life of the hereafter. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) has said that after entering into Jannat, the people of Jannat will not be sorry about anything of this world, except for that moment which was spent without the remembrance of Allah. It is apparent that when reward will be granted for remembrance of Allah in this world which is an abode of actions, then one must surely feel very regretful, that if they should have spent more time in the remembrance of Allah, they could be worthy of more rewards.
"NOW YOU CAN DO"------ Think you want to entertain yourself, or grab the treasure in the short time, and look for the greater life of hereafter. Think dear brothers and sisters, do we have time, be intelligent, in this short span of life, grab the gems, ruby, diamond which is free on offer from Allah. Grab it........
Please, please think again, and act up on it..... in Sha Allah sharing this with your friends might earn you a small gem, don't let it go, share and gain.
