Time Constraint Work hard for worldly life. Need to work harder for eternal life. If life = 100 years, years = Sleep/Rest years = Work years = enjoy if not sick. Day of Judgment = 50,000 years. 100 years life = 3 minutes enjoy time = 1 minute

Money Constraint Lose ownership as soon as you die. You account for every single cent Poor enters heaven 40 years ahead of rich with similar good deeds. More worldly asset, Stricter accounting on the Day of Judgment.

Effort Constraint. Day of Judgment Grave Bridge BornDie Heaven Hell One Way 
