East and West

The Pied Piper —

A pious man once said, love of this world and love for Aakhirah is like the East and West.

However close you get to one the further away you get from the other.

May Allah Swt Guide us. Ameen.

Not very wise, actually. Go far enough east and you'll reach the west. Go far enough west and you'll reach the east.

How can there be a 'place' called #the west' or 'the east' without a direction? If one man goes east and one goes west without stopping their paths will cross. it doesn't matter which 'place' it happens at.
