The Greatest Question
English book, p. 337
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
THE GREATEST QUESTION unknown power intervenes and takes him away and sends him to another world. Why this happens is an extremely serious question. And it certainly needs to be answered. Any man or woman who is serious about his life can never rest content without knowing the answer to this question. It is only the right answer to this question that can give a proper explanation of the present life. Moreover, the answer to these questions will tell us what should be done to make life meaningful and successful in the real sense. Such questions have been objects of reflection throughout human history. Many great minds have devoted themselves to finding answers to them. The answer which has satisfied the minds at a universal level is that there is a God of this world, He is its Creator, its Lord, sustaining the entire world with His almighty powers; and then that this world has been created under a special creation plan. According to this plan, man is an eternal creature. But the Creator has divided human life into two parts, a small part of which is placed in the stage of life before death, while the major part of it is placed in the life after death. Death does not mark the end of life, rather the entry into another world so that man may spend the rest of his life in eternal environs.
