| سُبْحَانَكَ لاَ عِلْمَ لَنَا إِلاَّ مَا عَلَّمْتَنَا إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَكِيمُ |

| Glory be to you, we have no knowledge except what you have taught us. Verily, it is You, the All-Knower, the All-Wise [surah Baqarah; 2:32] |
And He imparted unto Adam the names of all things; then He brought them within the ken of the angels and said: "Declare unto Me the names of these [things], if what you say is true."
They replied: "Limitless art Thou in Thy glory! No knowledge have we save that which Thou hast imparted unto us. Verily, Thou alone art all-knowing, truly wise." 2:31-32
In life when we learn this simple rule that there is a greater knower than me. Someone whose knowledge encompasses everything, past present and future. Someone who knows what is best for us, someone who knows how best to get the maximum benefit from this life. Someone who knows our every desire and need. Someone who knows what our needs will be in the future, someone who knows what our needs will be in the past. It is only when we realise that our knowledge is deficient and when we start comparing it to the knowledge God has bestowed upon us that we truly will become happy in this life, it is only then we will realise our worth and what God has stored up for us in the life hereafter.
If we live our life full of pride and conceit, thinking i know better than anyone, I know better than the one who created me..then we wil never truly be happy and always will be misguided.
God gave us intellect, intellect enough to realise we are on a temporary journey..that we are but travellers passing through this life. No one till today has staye don the earth forever, everyone and everything is to persih. It is only when we we set our sights on the destination..the life hereafter that the cares and worries of this world will leave us and sweetness and peace will enter us.
May God make us of his elect and help us gain knowledge and bestow upon us the true knowledge which will help us in both worlds this and the next.
Keep well
Majnun.
I write this having read someones blog on what thier impression of heaven is..heaven is a place where all our impressions will become a reality. But heaven is as God describes it.
