Every woman takes great pride in decoratingand taking care of her home in this world; and rightly so. However itis worth considering that when we spend so much time and take greatcare in beautifying a home that is our abode for an average of 60 to 70years, how much more time should we then spend in building anddecorating the home of the hereafter, which will be our abode foreternity.
Consider the following:
*The home of the world is temporary, whereas the abode of the Hereafter is eternal.
*A woman has to carry out the household chores in the world by herself,where as she will be tended to and all her work will be done for her inthe Hereafter.
*In the world, a woman has to often worry aboutsticking to her budget, and therefore cannot always buy the best ofitems, whereas in the Aakhirah there will be nothing besides the best.
*In this world a woman is not guaranteed the company ofher husband and children for her whole life (they are subject toanswering the cal of death at any given moment), whereas in thehereafter there will be no fear of losing either.
*A woman in this world ages, and with age her beautydiminishes, whereas in the hereafter a woman will always be 18 years ofage, and with time her beauty will only increase.
*A woman's wardrobe in this world is limited, whereas in the hereafter she will never have to repeat and outfit.
*In the world a woman has to often be wary of not doing anything thatmight displease her husband, whereas in the hereafter she will behanded the glad-tidings of Allah's eternal pleasure.
*The house of the world is built with bricks andcement, whereas the palaces of Akhirah are built with bricks of goldand silver, and cement of musk.
*In this world most people design their homes once andfor all, whereas in the Hereafter the design of the home can be changeddaily to suit your wishes.
The Hadeeth statesthat when a man engages in the remembrance of Allah, or occupieshimself with righteous deeds, the angels in Jannah occupy themselves inbuilding a home for him. When the man stops the good deed, the angelsstop building. The other angels inquire why they stopped building, towhich they reply, "the bricks and the cement has finished."
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
