A Sublime contrast.\n\n\nLife seems so long and our eternal home seems far, far away....\n\nAnd paradise will be brought close to the God Fearing, no longer a distant thing... Surah 59 v 31\n\n\nConversely to those who mock the signs....\n\nThis is the Fire you used to deny, Is this magic or do you not see it clearly, Surah 52 v14-15\n\n\nLet them laugh a little, much they will weep, Surah 9 v82\n\nThe world is short lived - let them laugh as they wish.\n\nThey return to Allah SWT, their weeping thus does not end (ibn Abbas ra, Mariful Quran).\n\n\n'Concern yourselves with that towards which you are heading and where you shall dwell forever' (Haakim).
