When Death Will Expose Everything as False

When Death Will Expose Everything as False besides God, there is no one who can be a refuge for anyone! People accumulate worldly wealth and fondly imagine that they have obtained what needs to be had. Imagine their condition when death will expose everything of theirs to be false and when they will realize that they have acquired nothing at all! People prepare long lists of other people’s mistakes. Imagine their state when angels will present them with a list of their own misdeeds! People think that this life is the be-all and the end-all. Imagine their state when they will discover that the real issue was death, and not this life that lasts for just a few days! People use criteria that they have themselves invented to convince themselves that they are in the right. Imagine their state when they will realize that only those who were right according to the criteria that God has established were truly right! Finding a huge crowd to welcome them, people think that they are very fortunate. Imagine their condition when they will come to know that only that person is fortunate whom God and His angels were waiting to welcome! Every person has built a fantasy world of his own and is happy living in it. But the Day of Judgment will destroy all these make-believe edifices. At that time, only those who have taken refuge in the ‘edifice’ of God and are in God’s shade will be safe.
