PLAGIARISM AND THE END OF HUMAN HISTORY

God has decided that man must be removed from Earth for this crime. This is gradually becoming evident through the disintegrating life support system. The first verse of the Quran is: All Praise is due to God, the Lord of the Universe. (1: 2) The above verse makes us conscious of the fact that, the Creator must be thanked and acknowledged for creating everything to make life comfortable. To do this Man has to reflect about the universe and the events of the world around him. According to the creation plan this world being a selection ground, those who fulfil the criterion of not misusing their freedom would be selected to inhabit the world of God eternally. One other verse of the Quran reminds man of this fact. It is for the like of this that all should strive. (37: 61) Each of us has to mend our ways and convey the divine message to others. These two aspects cannot be under estimated. We need to undertake self-evaluation to know how we spend our time, energy and money. According to the words of the Prophet: Weigh yourself before you are weighed. (Tirmidhi) It is advisable for us to evaluate ourselves before we die because the evaluation of the angels would be unforgiving. Pray that God grants us the ability to traverse on the straight path, forgive us and inhabit us in His eternal world of Paradise! o Dual World When one raises oneself to a level where material things become secondary; and inner meanings become of prime importance, then one is a spiritual person. Man must lead an alert and introspective life and correct his course so that on the day when He is called to account before God, he is pardoned.
