Love of God

English book, p. 347

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

THE DESTINATION OF MAN eternal light. Successful is one who regards the present world as a temporal phase: one who regards this phase as an eternal phase of life is a failure. THE DESTINATION OF MAN According to God’s creation plan, the desired world of man lies in post-death period in Paradise. The predeath period is only a selecting ground. Those who qualify themselves in this pre-death period will be held deserving of inhabiting the desired world of Paradise. Man wants a secure world for himself. But the events of the Tsunami in December 2004 in Indonesia and the Himalayan Tsunami in Uttarakhand in 2013, etc., tell us that man has in effect been given a world that is insecure. Man wants an unlimited life for himself. But the event of death reminds him that he has been given a limited lifespan in this world. Man desires a world of ideal happiness, but different kinds of accidents tell man that he can only find a level of happiness which is far below his desired ideal. Man exceptionally possesses the concept of “tomorrow”, but in practice, he is aware only of “today”. Man has unlimited potential, but before he is able to use even one per cent of this potential, he has to leave this world. Why is this so? The answer to this question lies in human nature itself. While all the animals only live for today, on planet earth, man is the only creature who possesses the concept of “tomorrow”. This is nature’s answer to this question.
