The Darkness Shall End!
English book, p. 57
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
THE DARKNESS SHALL END! Every day, the darkness of night is dispelled by the light of the sun. Likewise, the arrogant and the defiant shall have to bow down, and the Truthful will be rewarded in the Hereafter. In this world of God, a human being appears to be a contradiction. In such a world where the sun rises at exactly its appointed time, man says something today and then denies it the next day! In a world where water can be squeezed out even from hard, dry stones, man cruelly oppresses his fellow man. In a world where the moon sheds light on all creatures without discrimination, man behaves in one way with some people and another with somebody else. In a world whose meaningfulness expresses itself in the beauty of a flower, man behaves more cruelly than a thorn. In a world where the wind blows all around, like a selfless servant, man lives in such a way as if there is no other purpose to his life than promoting his interests. In a world where one tree never troubles another, man never ceases to torment another. One person derives malicious pleasure in seeing another being destroyed.
