Living in God's Glory
English book, p. 294
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
When the plane landed, the passengers rushed to the door to get off the plane and injured themselves. The fire of the plane had not yet caught anyone. The only fear was that they might be caught by the fire and burnt to death. This fear made people fall on each other. They started to run away first and go ahead of the others. however, man is faced with even greater danger. it is death and, after that, the danger of doomsday and the day of Judgement. however, no one is afraid of that. no one feels the need to run away from it. What motivates man the most in the present world is “fear”. The psychology of fear is the most significant source of action. The fear of the hereafter is the greatest. This means that if the fear of the hereafter awakens in someone, it will move his whole personality, mobilizing all the latent powers. PROCESSION OF DEATH People are continually dying here on earth. However, we fail to realize the implications of death. This is because we lack a living picture of Heaven and Hell in our minds. a coffin is being carried aloft toward the grave. it seems like a journey, not just from one point to another, but from man’s beginning to his end.
