"LIFE SPAN"

Life Span

This is a bench in a garden; people come, sit for a while and go away.

To quote from a short story; by Shaukat Thanvi (Urdu Short story writer around 1950)

A group of Memon shopkeepers (Memon is a business community in Pakistan) sat for some time, discussed about their business and went away.

Then came a group of students, discussed about their studies and went away.

Then came a group of Ayas (maid servants for babies) with babies in the perambulator, talked about their babies and their madams, and returned to their houses.

Allah said, “Go down, (to earth) there you shall live and there you shall die, and from there you shall be raised again.”

(Surah Al-Araf 24-25)

This directive is applicable to all descendants of Adam and Hawwa (Eva), who will come in this world till the Day of Judgment, when they will be resurrected, good deeds will be rewarded and sinful deeds will result in punishment.
