went to the Holy Prophet (SAW). He was resting on a sackcloth, which
had welted his body. Seeing this I began to weep. He said: "Why are
you weeping?" I said: "These Caesars and Chosroes, the kings of
Byzantium and Iran, sleep on carpets of silk and velvet and you have
to take rest on sackcloth! I weep becauseof this." He said: "There is
no need of weeping over it" (for the world is for them and for us is
the hereafter). Extracted from the book "Shamail-e-Tirmidhi" by Shaikh
Ahmed E. Bemat.
All the pleasures of this world are temporary. So, let us strive hard
for the hereafter where Allah willgrant us unimaginable forms of
pleasures.
