Look at them enjoy life each day and night, <br />Riding fancy cars, living in mansions, <br />Looking down on each other with much pride, <br />And living life as though there’s no reason – <br /> <br />They think this world means ‘to live forever’ – <br />‘Life is its beginning and death its end’. <br />Know that, indeed, there is a Hereafter, <br />Where we will be asked about what we sent <br /> <br />Of good deeds and intentions to please God – <br />Allah who will ask us on that Great Day – <br />About what we did, with the things we had, <br />And everything we used to do and say. <br /> <br />Life is a pathway to Heaven or Hell; <br />What follows this path is Life Eternal.<br /><br />Miriam Mababaya<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/temporal-life-v-s-eternal-life/
