The Danger of Hell

The Danger of Hell There is little difference between finding and losing in this world, for no value can be attached to finding something once it is accepted that he is only going to lose it again. How much effort man puts into acquiring wealth in this world; yet the inevitable result of his efforts is that he leaves everything behind. Every life eventually ends in death. When death comes, it tears man away from the things he is most attached to on earth. People who live for the present, with no thought for the future, think that they can build happy lives for themselves at the expense of others. They seek to ruin others by bringing lawsuits against them in human courts, but it is they themselves who are heading for ruin; it is they themselves who will be tried and condemned in the divine court of the hereafter. They imagine that they can revel in their own glory, having wrought havoc in the lives of others. But they ignore the wellbeing of others at their peril. For soon their material props will vanish into thin air–who in this world is not bound for the grave?—and they will be exposed for the helpless creatures that they really are. The Danger of Hell T he Quran (95: 4-6) tells us: “We have indeed created man in the best of mould, then We cast him down as the lowest of the low, except for those who believe and do good deeds—theirs shall be an unending reward!”
