THE SYSTEM ESTABLISHED BY GOD

The System Established by God ~ 77 ~ On the day when they behold that hour, it will be as if they had tarried in the grave only a single evening or the morning following it. (The Qur’an 79:27-46) What exists before us in the form of the universe is so great that all other things become totally insignificant in comparison. When a great happening such as the creation of the universe can take place, why cannot matters of smaller import likewise come into existence? In this context, the tidings given by the Qur’an that man has to be reborn is something which has already been made understandable by known events on a very large scale. Man’s life stretches over two phases – one is the present, the other, the Hereafter which for the present is unseen. The actual test of man is for him to prefer the Hereafter as compared to the present world. But this can be achieved only by those who have the courage to control their selfish impulses and desires.
