Man and God

English book, p. 59

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Deception Everywhere great wealth, he begins to think that his future is political power, he behaves as if there is no one who can snatch it from him. Everyone looks so very confident! Everyone laughingly walks towards his own ‘limousine’! But then, suddenly, the curtain is lifted, and the Angel of Death whisks a person away from this world into the next. This is the most extremely awesome moment in every person’s life. When this moment arrives, one is ridden with fear on facing a condition that one had never expected. Suddenly, a person realizes that what he had all along believed to be the greatest reality was nothing but pure deception. He had thought himself to be free, but he now realizes that he is utterly helpless. He thought he had everything, in the form of wealth and family, but he now sees himself as totally emptyhanded. He had thought that he was powerful, but now he knows that is more powerless than a fly or mosquito. He had thought he had many people with him, but now he finds himself totally alone. Pity the man who does not know the thing that he must know above everything else! Deception Everywhere T oday’s world is a world of deception. People glibly use slogans to advance their own perceived interests in the name of serving humanity or their community. Everyone seems to have become an expert in deploying words to seek to justify their oppressive ways in the name of truth and justice.
