are nothing as compared to those in that stage. Because the reality lies there whereas here is the likeness of it. If a Hoorie' looks towards this world and lifts up the veil an inch off her face, the light of the sun would seem nothing in front of the light emanating from her glowing face. And the eyes would turn blind, hence complete beauty lies there. "Surely We have made whatever is on the earth an embellishment for it, so that we may try them (as to) which of them is the best in deeds". Surah-aI-Kahf : 7.
Allamah Naraqi relates in 'Khazaen' : In the days of my youth in Isfahan, one day I accompanied my respected father and companions to a friend's place on the day of 'Naoroz' to meet him. The friend lived near a cemetery. To relieve ourselves of fatigue and also with the intention of getting reward., we stopped by the graveyard to recite 'fateha' for the departed mo'meneen. One of our friends who was humorous turned towards a grave and said, "O occupant of the grave! will you accept us as your guests today on this day of Idd"? Back came the reply, "Sure, next week on tuesday you all will be my guests". We were horrified and concluded that only some days of our lives were left. We started performing good deeds and rectifying the bad ones.
