This World and the Hereafter
English book, p. 143
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
GOD AND THE LIFE HEREAFTER This understanding makes our life in this world meaningful. Once we are aware of this reality, this world becomes an arena for making efforts to determine our future in the eternal life after death. The next world is where we will face the results of our actions. Once we realise this, we know our destination, towards which we can move confidently, that is, the world Hereafter. If you take this world to be your destination, you will finally arrive at nowhere but frustration, despondency and mental disturbance. But if you have made the Hereafter your destination, this belief will open the doors for eternal peace. In a world where one incurs losses all too often, only such an understanding of life can be proper that conveys to us the secret of gaining through these losses.
