limitations of the Present World

English book, p. 311

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

world, but they have not fully acquired these when the law of degeneration comes into play. This world has everything people want, but they cannot get all this here, even for the person who seems to have everything.” a human being is a perfect creation, but his tragedy is that, along with this, he is a victim of various types of limitations. various unfavourable conditions surround him. human life, despite being perfect, remains meaningless until a person enters a world free from every type of limitation and unfavourable condition. God has made this perfect and eternal world in the form of heaven. however, no one can gain entrance into the world of heaven just like that. This present, imperfect world is the price of that perfect world to come. one who can sacrifice this present world for the world to come alone will enter that heavenly world in life after death. one unwilling to make this sacrifice will also enter a world after death—not heaven’s joyous and delightful world, but a world of eternal misery and despair.
