Place For Action, Place for Results
English book, p. 23
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
PLACE FOR ACTION, PLACE FOR RESULTS not for enjoying the results. A student who seeks to build an ideal world for himself in the examination hall will fail to do so. The person who wants to make an eternal palace of joy in this world will not obtain his goal—because the present world has not been made for this purpose. Wise is he who understands this difference and performs righteous actions in this world, hoping for God’s blessings in the Hereafter. In this matter, an intelligent person adopts the same principle as a student. When a student sits in an examination hall, he focuses all his attention on answering his test paper correctly. He does not attempt to build the palace of his dreams there. Building a Divine Personality An understanding of God’s creation plan should govern man’s relation to this world and the Hereafter. According to this, man has to spend a brief life before death preparing for the Hereafter in order to obtain a world of eternal joy in the period of life after death.
