Islamic Stories: For Muslims and non-Muslims.

Building A Home

There was an old family that was financially stable, they earned
enough but lived in a simple little hut.

They didn't have proper carpet
just bits and pieces of it here and there, no nice furniture nor a big
tele, just a simple little house with no luxurious stuff.

The people of the community who lived nearby used to visit this
woman that lived in this small hut and they would see how run down
her home was and they talked amongst themselves in the community.

"Have you seen what dump they live in? It's a sham! They haven't even chairs to sit on nor carpets. The wallpapers all peeling. What do they do with the money they earn? Her husband has a high paid job!"

One day one of the woman's friends came to her house. They were seated and chatting when the friend said, 'Your husbands has a well paying job, so why don't you get this house done up?'

The woman replies, 'We've got another house so we use our money on that instead because we don't see the point of spending it on here.'

The woman's friend was surprised and said, 'Oh I didn't know you had
another house. Where is this house?'

The woman replies 'In Jannah'

How often do we decorate our homes? In Shaa Allah let's do good
actions each day and slowly your house will be built in bricks of gold
and silver.

The more good deeds you do your house will continue to grow.

Let's utilise our wealth and help the orphans, the widows, the ill, help build mosques, etc. May ALLAH grant us all beautiful homes in the hereafter, Aameen.
