Akhirah · Preparation

This morning was a cold walk accross the park to work. I made sure
that I was prepared by putting on my big coat, woolly hat and gloves
before even leaving the house. So what?
Well, we are always reminded, either in the quran, ahadith or by
others, of the temporary nature of this life in the dunya, yet we
still remainignorant to prepare for when we have to leave this world.
The journey to work/ school etc. for us is only a short one yet we
prepare for whateverthe weather may be outdoors, but for the permanent
abode of the akhirah (hereafter) we choose to cast aside in our mind
and ignore the signs telling us to prepare?
I leave you to ponder over this…May Allah Almighty give us the ability
to draw some important lessons from above and act in order toprepare
for our eternal life in the hereafter, ameen.
