Man and Paradise

English book, p. 7

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

THE PATH TO PARADISE in the Hereafter. This world is for action, while the next world is for reaping the rewards of those actions. Man is free to act as he wishes on Earth, but this freedom is merely a test. He should recognize it as such and not revel in his power. Those who are not deluded by their temporary authority and never lose sight of their true position will be granted Paradise. Those who rebel based on their worldly power will abide in Hell. All real power in this world belongs to God alone. He is the Lord of all things, and no one can escape His control for an instant. Those who acknowledge this truth will submit to God willingly. They are the ones who are worthy of Paradise. Those who deny this fact and follow their impulses wherever they lead are offenders in God’s sight and will have no share in the blessings of the Hereafter. THE PATH TO PARADISE A truly successful man leads the life of ‘today’, the temporary world of tests, in such a way that his ‘tomorrow’, the eternal phase of life after death in Paradise, is full of joy. Only such a man can be called a truly successful man. Such a man is treading the Road to Paradise. The world of nature is a flawless system. It engages in various activities without causing noise pollution. Its ‘factories’ operate round the clock without producing smog. Despite the existence of vast industries, the water remains unsullied. For millions of years, nature has functioned without causing deterioration
