A traveller does not fuss about his surroundings when he stops at a hotel where he may like some things and dislike others. At home however, he will make sure everything is to his taste.

This world is like a hotel and we are travellers travelling from the time of our birth, living our lives up to our death followed by the time in the grave and the Hereafter until we reach our final abode. Hence our time in this world should be like that of the traveller.

The real life is that of the Aakhirah (Hereafter) and this was the message of the Ambiyaa (Prophets). Even a king's life is not worthy of being called a life as his life too will cease regardless of how luxurious it is. A life is no life as death will bring an end to it. This life is a chance to work and prepare for the life of the Hereafter, the true life
(Hayaate Haqeeqee).
