There was an old family that was financially stable, they earned
enough but lived in a simple, little hut. They didn't have proper
carpetjust bits and pieces of it here and there, no nice furniture nor
a big tele, just a simple little house with no luxurious stuff.
The people of the community who lived nearby used to visit this woman
that lived in this small hut and they wouldsee how run down her home
was and they talked amongst themselves in the community. "Have you
seen what dump they livein, it's a sham! they haven't even chairs to
sit on nor carpets. The wallpapers all peeling. What do they do with
themoney they earn? her husband has a high paid job!"
One day one of the woman's friends come to her house and they were
sitting chatting and the friend says 'Your husbands has a well payed
job so why don't you get this house done up?'
The woman replies 'We've got another houseso we use our money on that
instead because we don't see the point of spending it on here'.
The woman's friend is surprised and says 'Oh i didn't know you had
another house, where is this house?'
The woman replies 'In Jannah'
How often do we decorate our homes? InshALLAH let's do good actions
each day and slowly your house will bebuilt in bricks of gold
andsilver. The more good deeds you do your house will have planning
permission to grow :) Let's utilise our wealth and help the orphans,
the widows, the ill. Let's utilise our wealth to help build mosques.
May ALLAH grant us all beautiful homes in the hereafter, Aameenlife.
We should not think that we have killed our nafs and thus become
unmindful.
