next Paragraph

English book, p. 345

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

NEXT PARAGRAPH From this, we can understand the matter of hell and Paradise. hell is like a bad land where all the rotten seeds will be thrown away. however, on the contrary, Paradise is the best land where all the good seeds will be sorted out and planted so that they can be harvested as a green crop. NEXT PARAGRAPH There is only one way to stay on the path of truth: focus your attention on the Hereafter. Only that person who keeps his eye on the achievement of “tomorrow” rather than on the “deprivations” of today will be successful. once a novelist wrote a long novel. This novel was very thick. a friend said, “oh, such a long novel; you were not bored while writing this.” The novelist immediately replied: “no. My focus was always on the next paragraph.” human life is also a long and tiring story written with the events of our successes and failures. There is only one way to keep a constant interest in this long and dry story. stick to the next paragraph of the story. The same is true of the hereafter. a person should decide that he will lead a truthful life in this world. he will do what he should do, and he should not do what he should not do. such a person would soon know he has taken the path of “losing” instead of “gaining”. he is not rewarded for his hard work and sacrifices in today’s world.
