Living in God's Glory
English book, p. 337
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
IDEAL WORD dead. These calamities are a reminder of what will befall us on that day. Then, the veil will be entirely lifted, and reality exposed in complete form. in this world, it is partially lifted when some calamity afflicts us so we can gain a glimpse of reality before its total manifestation. Wise is the one who considers such calamities as a warning of nature rather than a senseless evil. one who interprets them as nature’s alarm system will humble himself before the lord and mend his ways. if they are looked at as a sign of the evil of nature, on the other hand, then they will only induce confusion and contumacy. Moreover, there is a difference between these two forms of mentality. The former leads one towards heaven, while the latter brings one closer to hellfire. IDEAL WORD An ideal world cannot exist in the present world—the place for an ideal world to come into existence is the Hereafter. In this world, people can only be made aware of God’s scheme and be called to lead a Hereafter-oriented life. Man is an idealist by birth. Every man is seeking an ideal world. however, it is not possible to build an ideal world on earth. in this world, man can only find an ideal ideology that he can follow and not an ideal world.
