What is the ruling on this phrase: “Fasten your seatbelt, and drive on the path of taqwa (mindfulness of Allah) with calmness; ahead of you is an inspection in the Hereafter”?

The questioner:
Some of my brothers sent me a message on my mobile phone, and its text was as follows: Fasten your seatbelt, and drive on the path of taqwa (mindfulness of Allah) with calmness,
The Shaykh:
and drive.
The questioner:
and drive on the path of taqwa (mindfulness of Allah) with calmness; ahead of you is an inspection in the Hereafter. The question is: What is the ruling on this phrase? And I ask for guidance and advice regarding it?
The Shaykh:
This is likening matters of the Hereafter to matters of this world, and such a thing is not permissible. It is not permissible to liken matters of the Hereafter to matters of this world, such as when they display some papers containing reservations, travel, vehicles, and provisions, and I do not know how else. All of these are among the things that should not be made, because they fall under the category of likening matters of the Hereafter to matters of this world. The intention is to remind people, but they remind people in a manner other than this. They should remind people of the days of Allah, remind them of the abode of the Hereafter, remind them of Paradise, and remind them of the Fire, without likening them to traffic regulations, aviation regulations, and regulations. Yes.
