✦ A woman says that I once went to meet an old friend of mine at her house. That friend of mine met me very warmly and expressed happiness. Both of us were feeling very happy meeting each other after a long time.
✦ After sitting at his house for some time, one of his little daughters came and said:
Mom mom! Will we not build a house in heaven today?
✦ At first I asked her to listen to her but she became childish even her other sister who was a bit older than her came and asked the same question.
Then their mother understood the children's insistence and the alienation that appeared on my face, so she said: Do you want to see what these children are saying and how they build a house in heaven?
I said absolutely, why not. I would definitely like to see it.
✦ So then that woman sat on a mat and her boys and girls who were from four to five years to ten to twelve years all sat around her.
✦ Then his mother asked: Yes, brother, let us build a house in heaven now? All the children said: Yes.
✦ So then their mother started reciting Surah Al-Ikhlas after reciting ``Uz-Billah and Bismillah'' and the children also started reciting the same Surah Al-Ikhlas along with their mother and they recited this Surah Al-Ikhlas ten times then their mother told her children. Boli: Now tell me that you want to keep any treasure in this palace of yours?
So then the mother started reciting La Hawla wa La Quwat ila Ballah and the children also started chanting the same words with their mother.
✦ Then the mother asked: Yes, so now you want the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to answer your question? And then on the Day of Resurrection you will drink from the blessed hands of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) from the pool of Kausar and then you will never feel thirsty.
✦ All the children again answered yes, so now the mother started reciting Durood Sharif and the children also started reciting Durood Sharif with their mother.
Then he recited Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allah Akbar and La ilaha illa Allah for some time.
✦ Finally, his mother said: It's okay, child. Today, the work of building a house in heaven is complete. Now go and do your own thing. Well done.
The female guest kept watching all this with astonished eyes. When she finished this process, the hostess said:
✦ See, you also know that all children want to sit with their mother and listen to their mother and entertain them.
✦ Since these children of ours nowadays also watch cartoons etc. and see how the cartoon characters make their own house and collect treasures for themselves in it, I thought why not my children. Let me fulfill this passion and give them a good education which will not only make their world happy but also beautify their hereafter.
