He who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eattained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the delusion of enjoyment” (Qur’an \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3:185).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe all know that a greater and eternal fate awaits us after we pass on from this life. Allah (SWT) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehas promised us that our actions and deeds in this life will determine whether we enter Jannah \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(paradise) or Jahannam (hellfire) in the hereafter. The beauty and bounty of Jannah is beyond \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eour scope of understanding. It is an abode of bliss that we cannot even begin to imagine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJahannam, in contrast, is the worst of places, and the horrors of Jahannam are also beyond our \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecomprehension. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe should spend our entire life trying to earn Jannah and avoid Jahannam. However, in the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003enoise of everyday life, we often forget that this worldly existence is our one chance to determine \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ewhere we will end up eternally. As parents, it is important that we have discussions with our \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"c-mrkdwn__br\" data-stringify-type=\"paragraph-break\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003echildren about what happens after death. Jannah can serve as a motivating factor in encouragi\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eng our children to be good Muslims, but we must also talk about Jahannam. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAllah (SWT) tells\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"c-mrkdwn__br\" data-stringify-type=\"paragraph-break\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eus that it is necessary to have fear of wrongdoing and an awareness that every moment is an \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eopportunity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn this book, we teach two key lessons. The first story, “Listen,” reminds us that we must heed \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethe warning of the hereafter. Often, people don’t “listen” until it is too late. Amira learns this \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003elesson the hard way after ignoring her dentist’s multiple warnings about the importance of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eflossing her teeth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe second story, “What’s Better?” is related to the idea of delayed gratification. That is, by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003etrading small, short-term happiness, we can often achieve larger, long-term goals. Asad learns \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethis lesson when he is faced with dilemmas of saving up over ten weeks to buy a kitten or to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003espend his money on day trips to parks and museums. In the end, he realizes that parks and museum fun lasts a day, but a funny friend is for life! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Noor Kids","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48367418704059,"sku":"moq1789535073408","price":6.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/2589\/0235\/files\/54-afterlife_1.jpg?v=1789535077","url":"https:\/\/animalprintstyleclad.shop\/products\/54-afterlife","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
