The Life of the World, Like a Picked Flower Then wither
When a plant is about to release its fruit, it usually begins with the appearance of flowers. Sometimes the flowers look beautiful and at other times look so very charming. Even sometimes not a few people who see it eager to pick it and carried away. But do we know if the flower was really picked before it turned into fruit? It turns out it will not be how long it will soon wither and eventually will be removed by the picker. Indeed if it is still in the stalk, look so dazzling, but if taken at that moment then what happens is actually just become withered, not last long. Unlike the story if we let the flower continue to be in the stalk a little bit longer, of course the flower will turn into a fruit that is not only beautiful and soothing view if seen, but also can be consumed.
And the picture of the world can be ascertained as the story of the flower above. The life of the world looks so beautiful in the eyes of those who see and look at it. Throne, position, woman, heredity, property, things, and so on. The whole thing seems so seductive and lulled to the normal human soul tempted and eager to reach and enjoy it. But really, everything that looks beautiful in the eyes of it will in fact be much more beautiful if waiting for a while later when it comes to the village kekelan in akhirat. As for those who are lulled and seduced so that they can not withstand except picking and enjoying it, sooner or later all the things they enjoy will wither and seem grim and disastrous. Thus did God test His servants in order to see which of them were truly honest and obedient to obey His precepts, and which of them hurriedly enjoyed the beauty before the time came.
Rasulullah sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam once said that the world is like heaven for the unbelievers, and the prison for the believers (Muslim). Why? Because in the world is filled with rules that should not be hit. There is halal-haram, there is a command-ban, there is this and that. Often times to execute a command, must leave some things that look beautiful and at a certain moment have to swallow a bitter taste. All these commands will only be practiced by believers because they are patient and convinced that the real life that there are various pleasures will only exist in the afterlife, in the world is not a place of dissipation and leyeh-leyeh.
While the unbelievers rush and can not wait to enjoy the luxury of a world that is like a mirage. In the world they are splurging with mockery and scorn to those who will be patient, then the disbelievers will feel the consequences. When they already feel the beauty of the world, later in the eternal country will no longer feel the beauty of heaven. Hell their shade.
