God and the Hereafter

English book, p. 124

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

what he desired but could not obtain before death, he might be able to get in the world after death. Nothing has been created in vain in this world, without a purpose. The sun and the moon or the insects of the earth, everything has been created for a purpose, which they are engaged in fulfilling. There is only one thing that may appear to be without purpose. Inside every person by birth is embedded a concept of beautiful desires. No person is bereft of this. Now, when all the other things in the world have been created for a definite purpose, it is also necessary that man’s desires and dreams, too, should have a purpose, a true destination. Man’s desires and dreams cannot be purposeless in a universe where everything seems meaningful. These dreams, desires, and hopes, too, are intelligently planned parts of creation. There is a clear purpose for them to exist, although this purpose cannot be wholly fulfilled in the present world. These desires and dreams are unlimited, so they can only be fulfilled in an eternal world. The name of this unlimited world is the Hereafter. In this unlimited world of the Hereafter, good people will get eternal Paradise, full of joy, comfort, and peace. In contrast, those people who in the present world prove themselves to be evil will be eternally deprived of all the good things.
