The reality of Man

disease, famine, earthquakes, and various calamities destroy man’s plans as if they were non-existent. it is a matter of great cruelty, but great wisdom is hidden behind it. all these unpleasant incidents happen to open a person’s eyes. it reminds him that despite having all power, he is utterly powerless. how deprived he is despite being the possessor of everything! The lesser events are a prelude to more significant events which will take place on the day of Judgement. in this way, man is made to observe reality by removing the veil of appearances. This veil will be torn entirely on Judgment day, which is partially done by accidents and other untoward incidents. The misery of the world reminds man of his helplessness. These enable him mentally to discover reality and become worthy of God’s rewards by accepting it. Man will be completely free and independent in the eternal world to come. There he will be completely safe from all kinds of sorrow and grief. however, this status will be given to anyone as a reward, not a matter of right. he who realizes his state of genuine humility is the one who deserves to be given the blessing of freedom. he who is satisfied with his powerlessness has proved his ability to be empowered by God in his ideal world.
