in the World of God
English book, p. 304
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
so i was driving my car on the left side of the road. he looked at me with expressive eyes and said, ‘sir, you are not in England now.’” although this is a traffic incident, there lies a great lesson of the hereafter hidden in it. The present world we live in is the world of God. however, man often considers it as his own. Therefore, instead of following God’s will, he starts pursuing his own will. Just as a traffic constable stands here on the side of the road to tell people that “you are not in your own country, but another country,” so God’s messengers are warning people that “you are not in man’s world, but you are in the world of God.” The successful man is the one who takes a lesson from this silent warning and leaves his willful ways and obeys God’s command in the world of God. on the contrary, the failure is the one who forgets God and begins to pursue the world according to his desires. The consequences of violating traffic rules in the world come to light immediately. Therefore, a person corrects himself as soon as he receives a warning from a traffic constable here. however, the consequences of violating God’s law will come to light in the hereafter. Therefore, he disregards any such warning, but no mistake is greater than this.
