Every country has its particular financial currency. Pakistani rupees
cannot function in America, where the currency is the dollar, and whoever
has more dollars will live that much more comfortably. Likewise, the
currency of Saudi Arabia is the riyal, and whoever has more riyals will
be that much richer than the one who does not.
The currency of the Hereafter is righteous deeds and no other currency
will benefit man after his death. There will be no foreign currency
exchange where he can change his money for good deeds like we do here
when traveling from country to country. The person who has more of this
currency of good deeds will be in that much more comfort than the person
who does not. Today we have been given time to amass this currency so
that we may be in comfort in the Hereafter. It will be too late in the grave.
Does man ever stop to reflect on the fact that he is getting old? The
answer is an emphatic no because man always considers himself young in
every circumstance. His youth slips away and man becomes an empty shell
but he does not realize this. He still thinks himself young when the
Angel of Death comes for him.
