When Truth is revealed

English book, p. 151

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

WHEN TRUTH IS REVEALED This is how the world is today. if you deeply examine things, you will hear either the sadistic laughter of the oppressor or the pathetic cries of the oppressed. you will see people driven by the most terrible impulses to fulfil their selfish desires, living in a state of total unawareness. however, this is not going to remain forever. very soon, the time will come when man will find himself in another world, where the power to make decisions will lie with God and not man. WHEN TRUTH IS REVEALED In the next world, only those who are truly right will be proved right. Falsehood will be exposed as nothing but false. The following verse of the Quran helps us understand the difference between real and hypocritical prostration. “some people have not, in their hearts, bowed to God. Their outward prostration is a mere pretence. in the next world, they will be told to bow down before the lord, but they will not be able to do so.” (68:42) Prostration is not just a ritual and time-bound physical activity; it is to surrender ourselves to the sublime reality. it is to make ourselves follow the truth in our whole life. so, this verse of the Quran does not just refer to prostration
