{Percakapan} Tua dan surga

Nusaybah is always excited about numbers and she likes a bit mathematical qs 😜

perhaps it's because she is currently learning about it in nursery, she's starting to ask how old I'm and how old her baba is and commented: 

"Wow, that's a lot of number mama!!  You and baba are very old"

Ouch!!!

but then she asked

Nusaybah: "mama, how old are you then when I'm your age?"

Me:"If Allah سبحانه و تعالى still give me life, I will be 68 years old!"

N:"wooow!! And how old are you when I'm 68 then?"

Me:"oh well, I will be more than 100 years old Nusaybah, why!?

She didn't stop there

"And how old are you when I'm 100 years old?"

Me:" I won't be in this duniya I guess, wallahu 'alam" 

N:"why mama?"

Me:"because most likely I am dead by then, what it means, Allah takes me back to meet Him"

N:"and go to Jannah?"

Me:" ان شاءٓ الله, I pray and hope so"

N:"then, all people who go to Jannah will be very old like you, mama?"

Me:"well not really, Allah سبحانه و تعالى promises that everyone who enter Jannah will be young again"

N:" ow "

سبحان الله 

I found this conversation fascinating since It actually remind me of Hadith when the prophet Muhammad ﷺ jokes with the old woman.

Hasan Basri (Allah be pleased with him) says that an old woman came to Rasoolullah (Allah bless him and give him peace) and made a request, O’ Messenger of Allah make Dua that Allah grants me entrance into Jannah. Rasoolullah (Allah bless him and give him peace) replied, O’ Mother, an old woman cannot enter Jannah.That woman started crying and began to leave. Rasoolullah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, Say to the woman that one will not enter in a state of old age, but Allah will make all the women of Jannah young virgins. Allah Ta’aala says, Lo! We have created them a (new) creation and made them virgins, lovers, equal in age. (Surah Waaqi’ah, 35-37).
