Assalamu Alaykum,
I recently saw a blog entry about the hereafter compared to this world which reminded me of an old comparison I heard in Jama'at.
We all know the size of planet. Imagine the entire planet full of bird seeds. Tiny little bird seeds.
Going futher, imagine the planet filled with bird seeds right into space.
Can you imagine the size of the solar system? All the planets and the sun. Imagine the entire solar system filled with tiny bird seeds. In fact, let's just say the entire universe and all the solar systems filled right to the corner with bird seeds.
If Allah (s.w.t) was to send a bird every one thousand years to take just one seed, there would still be a day one day where all the seeds would finish. But the hereafter does not.
Live for the everlasting hereafter, not the Dunya
