The Reality Of Sacrifice
English book, p. 100
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
our life is divided into two parts. A small part—a very small one—is in this world. And the bigger part—much bigger and forever—is in the Hereafter, which will come after death. The success of that world also depends on sacrifice, just like in this world. The next world is like a colony of the best and most mature human beings. Those who prove themselves to be the best in thought and action today will live in the gardens of Paradise in the Hereafter. And those who cannot show high human values will be thrown into the painful environment of Hell. What does it mean to become a good person? It means that a person begins to live on a divine level. They develop God-oriented qualities within themselves. For this purpose, a person must fight against satan. They must fully clean their life from the influence of satan. This is a path of continuous sacrifices. Only that person will find a place in God’s Paradise who develops the courage to make these sacrifices. For this, it is necessary that a person removes all useless thoughts from their mind and gives space only to the right and true thoughts—even if this mental cleansing feels like sacrificing their most beloved ideas. For this, it is necessary that a person builds their character on truth, even if it means giving up worldly benefits and personal interests. For this, it is necessary that a person bows to truth, even if it costs them their position of greatness. For this, it is necessary that a person makes truthfulness and principle their way of life, even if it means becoming unpopular in the world.
