Living in God's Glory
English book, p. 254
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
our words, although what alone counts is evidence of our truthfulness through our actions? how often do we show our good manners in good times, and how quickly do we change our colours when things go wrong? how often people are satisfied engaging in a show of modesty by performing some ritual actions before God, although genuine modesty lies in behaving modestly with the rest of God’s creatures? The field of moss that grows on a boulder is a deception. such a field is of no use to the farmer. one flood strike is enough to prove it for what it truly is. so likewise, showy piety is false and utterly useless. The ‘flood’ of the hereafter proves that those who cling to it for support have no support to lean on. THE LIVING GRAVEYARD The hospital is like a living graveyard. In seeing the scenes of helplessness at the hospital, we can realize the utter helplessness we will feel in the Hereafter. i stood inside the hospital. There were all kinds of patients in front of me. Each patient appeared to be a picture of pain. some had problems with their hands and some with their feet. someone had a stomach ache, and someone’s back was injured. Every man was in suffering in the hospital. Everyone was an image of human helplessness.
