Life Death and Beyond

English book, p. 110

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Paradise and study them you may experience a strong emotion emerge within, urging you to make Paradise your destination and to focus all your activities in its direction. As is said in the Quran (37:61): “It is for the like of this that all should strive.” For the present world the Creator’s criterion of selection of people for Paradise is not collective or mass-based, but, rather, individual-based. In this sense it would be correct to say that the present world is not for the establishment of a system or government but, rather, for the development of one’s personality or character. Here, only development of one’s personality is possible in the ideal sense. The formation of an ideal system or state is completely impossible here. It is this interpretation of human life that is the right one. Evidence that it is right is the fact that with this description of human life everything falls into place and one gets fully satisfying answers to all the questions of life. Two Worlds It is said that there are two worlds: a positive world, and a negative world. Just as without a positive particle and a negative particle an atom cannot exist, for the existence of one world, the second world is also necessary. We live in a world that we see and feel with our physical senses. This is the world in which we spend our entire present life. We spend 24 hours a day every day of our life here, witnessing different scenes and performing different activities.
