why are the rewards in hereafter so materialistic? beats me.
why isn't it like christianity, to be the children of God, to be happy being beside God?

its funny how a religious christian's aim would be to die and sit beside God,
while a practicing muslim (read: me) would prefer to have all the clothes she can wear in all the fashions possible. be in heaven where she doesn't have to think about anything except for having fun. how shallow muslims are! (read: how shallow i am)

the thing is, Allah never denies the our selfish desires. What Allah wants is for us to treat our desires with patience. Because the rule of the world, selfish desires are detrimental. But in heavens nothing is detrimental.

so, no, i dont want clothes. i want to sit beside prophet noah and discuss about his ordeal with his people. its amazing how the prayer of a man living some 50,000 years before us is recorded in the Quran. just thinking of it make my heart stop. i want to sit beside him, and a few other people that i met in my life, when they smile, make my heart melt and feel like in heaven. that is worth to me more than anything in the world. surely, if Allah can give all the neverending fun in heaven, this is easy for Him.

oh, now i am not so shallow? maybe boring even
