Hey, it’s Ali here—founder of Hiyest. When I’m not busy crafting the next drop for the brand, I find myself diving deep into the big questions of life. One thought that’s always been on my mind is what happens after we’re done here—after this life. Growing up in a religious Muslim family in India, heaven and hell were more than just concepts—they were realities we were taught to believe in since day one. But as I got older, I started to wonder, is it really that simple? Is heaven just this endless place of joy, and hell a fiery pit where you’re stuck forever?
This isn’t just some random thought that pops up when I’m alone—it’s something I’ve chewed over in deep conversations with my mom, usually after dinner usually around 11pm-1AM. She’s seen me grow from a curious kid, who questioned everything, into someone who’s still questioning but with a lot more on the line. And let me tell you, these conversations with her haven’t just shaped my thoughts—they’ve shaped how I live, and even how I think about Hiyest.
So, let me share a conversation that really stuck with me—a late-night talk with my mom that made me rethink what heaven and hell might actually be. It’s not just about what happens after we die but something much deeper.
Is Hell Just Being Deep-Fried in Oil, or Is It Something More?
The other night, after dinner, I found myself in one of those late-night talks with my mom. You know the kind—they start off casual and before you know it, you’re deep into life’s biggest questions. We’ve been doing this for years—she’s always been a great listener, so I feel like I can talk to her about anything. This time, the conversation wandered into the afterlife—heaven, hell, and what it all really means.
Growing up, these ideas were part of our daily lives. But I’ve always had this itch to dig deeper, to question what’s really going on. My mom used to get pretty frustrated with me always asking, “But why?” every five minutes. But over time, she started listening more openly, and now, we have these conversations that really make you rethink everything.
what happens after death? the afterlife.
Warning: I'm just speculating here. What comes after death is still a mystery that no one can tell. Guess I'll have to experience it firsthand to find out the real truth. 😉
Is Hell Just About Getting Deep Fried?
So there I was, asking her, “Kya hell me humlogo ko sirf fry karte hai ki kuch aur bhi uska matlab hai?” (Is hell just about being fried in oil, or is there something more to it?) I mean, that’s the image we all have, right? This fiery pit where you pay for all the bad stuff you’ve done. But the more I think about it, the more I feel like there’s something deeper going on.
What Happens After Death?
I shared with her my thoughts, setting aside religious biases and approaching it from a neutral angle. If there’s something beyond death, all we have left are our memories—everything we’ve done, felt, and experienced. A life full of peace and happiness, free from regrets, leaves us with cherished memories. After we die, we’re left with the moments we loved, the people who mattered, the joys we felt, and the struggles we faced with acceptance. Ultimately, what remains is our collection of memories. If those memories are good, we might find ourselves reliving them forever—a joyful eternity with the people we loved most. This could be what we call heaven: an endless dream of our happiest moments.
What Could Hell Really Be?
On the flip side, think about what hell might be. Imagine dying with regrets, haunted by thoughts like, “I could have done that,” or “I shouldn’t have done that.” Once you’re gone, that time is lost forever. All that remains are your regrets, with no chance to change or fix anything. Hell could be being trapped in a never-ending loop of these regrets, replaying missed opportunities and mistakes, knowing you can’t change them now.
The Endless Nightmare of Regret
Imagine being stuck in those memories, constantly replaying your worst moments with no chance to change them. That, my friend, is what I think hell really is. It’s not about being barbecued forever; it’s about being trapped in your own regrets, with no escape. An endless nightmare.
The Real Enemy.
In the end, maybe we are our own worst enemies. No one can punish you more than you can punish yourself. At least that’s what I believe. All we can do is forgive ourselves and find peace with our actions. Only then can we truly appreciate the good we’ve done, because regrets and bad memories often overshadow all good memories.
Tip: Before it’s too late, take some time to reflect on your regrets and missed opportunities. Facing them now can help you make peace with them and prevent them from becoming a burden later. Remember, understanding and forgiveness can turn regret into growth
Conclusion
In the end, we’re the ones creating our heaven or hell right now, with every choice we make, every relationship we build, and every memory we create. So, live in a way that your memories become your heaven. Aur agar kuch regrets hain, toh abhi unhe theek karo, before they turn into the hell you can’t escape.
Anyways, we know nothing, we can only speculate. Maybe it’s all just a dream. Heaven and hell could be mere ideas designed to give us purpose, to keep us striving, and to help us navigate life better.
But have you ever wondered if our choices are really ours, or if something else is guiding them? Is it free will, or are we influenced by forces beyond our control? That’s a big question for another time. If I get a chance, I’ll share more on it later. For now, check out our collection and see if something speaks to you. My designs come from a place of curiosity and personal reflection. I hope you find something that connects with your story, and maybe even makes you think a little deeper about your own journey.
