The bliss and joy of Paradise and the severe torment of Hell
It occurs in a Hadith that on the Day of Judgment Almighty Allah shall summon a man who had spent his worldly life in distress and difficulties and all sorts of shocks. He will be asked how he spent his life in the world. He shall reply, saying: 0 Allah! I had a life full of
troubles, worries, distresses, wants and shocks that I do not remember to have the faintest glimpse of joy and happiness. Allah will then command His angels to take him to the outskirts of Paradise. The angels will take that man round about Paradise to feel a gust of wind emanating from it. The same question will be put to him again: How did you pass your life in the world. He shall reply saying:
0 Allah! I lived in the world a life in peace, prosperity and satisfaction that I did not have a single moment of distress. I lived my life surrounded on all sides by joys, comforts and luxuries. Thus a little touch of the breeze of Paradise will be so pleasing and soothing that he will forget all the discomforts and distresses of his worldly life.
Then Allah shall command His angels to produce before Him a man who never faced any distress, worry or shock in his worldly life but passed his lifetime in complete peace and pleasure. He will be questioned! How did you pass your life in the world? He shall reply, saying: 0 Allah! I passed my life in peace and comfort without any trouble, anxiety or shock. Allah shall ask His angels to take him round the outskirts of Hell. The angels will comply with Allah's command and the man, while going round Hell, will feel slightly the hot wind escaping from Hell.
He will then be asked: Tell me how did you pass your life in the world? He will say: 0 Allah! I had been facing distress and trouble the whole of my lifetime and I never tasted bliss and happiness. A few moments of his exposure to the hot wind of Hell and its horrible effects will make him totally forget the peace, contentment, joys and pleasures of his entire worldly life. Such are the joys of Paradise and the torments of Hell which shall make man forget how he faced in his worldly life.
Our pitiabIe condition
As for our state of affairs we are so much bewitched by the temptations of this world that all our thoughts, movements and efforts are concentrated on the acquisition of the transitory luxuries and riches of this world to the total neglet of our eternal life of the Hereafter:
