Preparation for the other half

       In this life, we spent almost half of our age in preparation for the other half, maybe 25 years of schooling for another 25 years of working, and 25 years of working for the 25 years of retirement.. This worldly games are tiring and never ending, problems arise after another pass, like chasing our own shadow we'll never being able to outrun it... Until we enter the grave, then we realise we spent 75 years not in preparation for the Eternal one.. but then of course, it is too late.. 

'Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you
Until you visit the graveyards.  
No! You are going to know.  
Then no! You are going to know.  
No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...  
You will surely see the Hellfire.  
Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.  
Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.'
  
- At-Takāthur (Quran 102:1-8)

may Allah S.W.T protect us and grant us goodness in this life as well as the hereafter, Amin..
