The Reality Of Sacrifice

The Reality of Sacrifice All the possible successes that are kept for humans in this world—the only way to reach them is through sacrifice. To become excellent in knowledge, to reach the top level in business, to get a high position in politics, to grow in morality and humanity, to lift a family or a nation—all of this is only possible through sacrifice. The Creator of this world has made it in such a way that nothing great is achieved without the effort of sacrifice. If someone thinks they can achieve something big just by speaking big words or by doing small and casual actions, then that is only wishful thinking. This kind of success never becomes a reality in God’s world. So, how can it be possible in such a world that God becomes pleased without any sacrifice? Just as God has set a rule for finding or not finding anything in this world, He has also revealed the rule for finding or not finding Him. That rule is only sacrifice. The same condition that applies to finding something in this world also applies to finding God. If a person wants to please their Lord, they must sacrifice themselves for their Lord. God only grants everything to those who give everything to God. Without paying the price of sacrifice, no one can receive anything in the system that God has created. The rule for success in this world is the same rule for success in the Hereafter. And because the life of the Hereafter is far more valuable than this life, the sacrifice required for it is also much greater. According to Islam,
