What Will Happen That Day

English book, p. 83

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

What Will Happen That Day his surroundings, but they institute false cases against him in order to destroy his peace. All such actions are interference in what God has arranged. It is a war against the All-Powerful God by absolutely powerless creatures. What do such actions amount to? God wants something, but these creatures do not want it. God decided to arrange for the allocation of livelihood among people in a particular way, but these creatures do not agree to this. These creatures’ defiance of God appears to work in this world, but this apparent success is only because in this world people have been granted freedom in order to test them. As soon as the period allocated for this test is over, people will find themselves so utterly bereft of power that they will not have even words to utter against others or the capacity to harm them. In this world, human beings have freedom. Here, people have the freedom to go against what God has laid down as proper for human beings to do. They have the freedom to try to condemn the allocation of livelihoods among people that God has arranged. But what will the condition of such people be when this freedom, linked to the test of life, comes to an end, when whatever will happen will be what God wants, when it is not possible for what God does not want to happen? On that day, God will say that He gives to whoever He wants, and that no one can overturn His Will, try as hard as he or she might.
