With the name of Allah, the
Beneficent, the Merciful.
May Peace be upon those who are being killed unjustly and on those who
are being tortured wrongly, in this 'Modern' 'Caring' 'Unified' World.
Assalamu 'alalikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
Just think about:
Abdullah Ibn Adam
When will we be satisfied?
What can more oil do when the vehicle is not working?
What can more land do when there are no wheels in the vehicle?
What can more money do when we are being attacked by the AIDS?
What can more killings of the innocents do when we cannot control the
criminals in our own place?
What can more lies do when everyone has observed the truth and the
respect is lost?
What can the advanced technologies do when we cannot take a good care of
our environment, our children, our own self?
What can our vast knowledge do when we don't know our Creator, what He
wants us to do and why?
Is it the dollar, land, oil, nukes etc that give us "Peace" OR is it our
good behaviour with others?
If we don't let others live in peace, can we ever be in peace?
This life is very short, but its effects will be for a very loooong
time...
Good actions now => Much better result later
Eating food before going to the picnic, will not be pleasing later at
the park!
Good preparing gives good results.
Wasting food in any case is definitely displeasing!
How about wasting our and others' lives? For low-leveled-desires!
Al-Qur'an [at-Takathur - 102 v 1-8]
O mankind, you have been distracted by the rivalry of piling up worldly
gains against one another.[1]
You will never be satisfied until you get into the grave.[2]
Nevertheless, soon you shall come to know.[3]
Again, nevertheless, soon you shall come to know.[4]
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge, [5]
You shall certainly see the Hell-Fire! [6]
and see it with the certainty of your own eyes[7]
- you shall believe it, but that belief is going to do you no good
because - on that Day, you shall be questioned about the blessings
(faculties and resources that you were given in the worldly life - as to
how you used them?)[8]
The Qur'an [al-A'la(87):14-19]
The one who will take admonition and purify himself shall be successful,
who remembers the name of his Lord and prays.
But O men! You prefer the life of this world;
while the Hereafter is better and everlasting.
Surely the same was said in the earlier scriptures;
the scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
Allah Knows Best
