Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barkatuh!
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate!
Would anyone of you wish that he should have
a green garden of palm trees and vines,
watered by canals and laden with all sorts of fruit
and then it should be consumed by a fiery whirlwind
at the very time when he himself has grown very old
and his small children are
too feeble to earnanything?*1
Thus Allah makes His revelations
clear & plain to you
that you may ponder over them.
(Surah-2 Al-Baqarah ~ Ayah-266)
Explanation:
*1 - It is obvious that a man does not like to see the earnings of his lifetime
destroyed in his old age, when he needs them badly
and when he can no longer earn.
How is it, then, that he can contemplate stepping into
the realm of the Hereafter and finding suddenly that he is empty-handed;
that he has sown nothing from which he can reap the fruit?
In the Next World there will be no opportunity to begin earning a new.
Whatever one can do towards ensuring one's well-being in the Hereafter
must be done in this world.
If one devotes oneself totally to the
pursuit of the riches of this world rather than to the Hereafter,
one's situation will be as pitiable as that of the age-stricken man
whose orchard (his source of income in his old age) is reduced to ashes
too late for him to produce a new one.
