The Boy who tried to escape Death – ch10.1

As Ahmad walks towards the magical gates, they slowly open releasing an incredible scent out in the open. Ahmad’s hair is pushed back as the wind gently strikes against his body.He enters the large magical dome, and there before him is an incredible garden of literally thousands of largecolourful flowers and bushes never seen by man. Streams of blue and green water pass through the land like meandering rivers, the water passing along at a generally fast speed. As the water hits against the banks of the rivers, splashes of water rise and suddenly turn into hundredsof colourful fruits resembling bubbles, floating around, waiting to be picked by someone and eaten. All along the banks of the rivers are magical gems and rubies in colours unknown to man. Ahmad runs towards the river laughing and in an ecstatic mood. He quickly places his arms deep within the magical water, which feels so soothing and cool. He takes some water in his hands and takes a sip. The flavour is beyond imagination, similar to that of a magical tropical fruit. He finds one ofthe floating fruits resembling a bubble and takes it in his hand. He takes a bite, his teeth easily sinking into the almost see through fruit. He cannot believe the flavour, something indescribable. He spends time enjoying the fruit around him when he suddenly hears laughing in the distance. He turns around in shock and there in the distance is a small group of Muslims sitting together enjoying a Hugh feast. He smiles and quickly runs up to them.“Assalaamu’Alycom dear Brother. Come join us.” One of the Brothers calls to him smiling.“Wa’laycom Assalaam!” Ahmad saysexcitedly.He is given a golden plate full of rice, lamb and salad. The food looks flawless. Not a single defect can be found in the food.“Mashah’Allah! So this is it? No moresadness and worry? I still cannot get over the excitement that there will never be any boredom, sadness, painor worry!” Ahmad says.The Brothers around him laugh.“Wait until we enter Paradise and seethe Face of our Allah.” One Brother says.“AllahuAkbar!!!” All of the Muslims call out.Suddenly a multi coloured cloud appears over them and a shower of gems fall upon them like snowflakes.Each gem is edible, a delicious sweet given to them by Allah. An angel suddenly appears to the Muslims and says, “Dear Slaves of Allah! This is a small gift from Allah to thank youfor praising His name.”“AllahuAkbar! AllahuAkbar! AllahuAkbar!” The Muslims continue to scream out in extreme happiness, tears appearing from their eyes. Just the thought of Allah loving them is beyond words and description. No gift can ever be compared to being loved by Allah.Time passes on, not affecting the Muslims within the magical dome.Ahmad lays upon a bed of a material made only for the pious, watching above as small gem like leaves float around in all directions, releasing a beautiful scent attaching to anything it touches.Ahmad slowly looks to the left and what he sees is something he could not possibly imagine would happen�There, before him, is his mother, father, two brothers and his sister! His whole family is there before him!“Mama! Dada! My Brothers and Sister!!!” He rushes towards them and hugs them tightly.
