The sand was cold on my feet as I began to run up the dunes with my family. Shortly afterwards we ran out of breath and had to take a rest. I looked up and thought about how much we had left to climb, but remem-bering how beautiful it would be once we reached the top, brought me to my feet again.
"SubhanaAllah," was all I could say at the moment I reached the top and gazed at the beautiful golden sand dunes. Absorbing the view of Allah's amazing creations, had made me forget the difficulty of coming up. I then compared this to the struggles we go through in life to attain paradise, and how when we see the beautiful gardens awaiting us, we will forget all our pains, worries, and struggles we had faced. There are many things that can stand as examples for those who just take time to reflect on the purpose of this life. So keep on going, don't just sit in the sand thinking about how difficult the path is. Remember that every single good deed you do will be recorded, and InshaAllah you will reach paradise!
