A PERFECT WORLD

Spirit of Islam, Sept-Oct 2022, p. 20

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan is named as the default author of the periodical; a piece that carries another writer’s byline is credited to that writer.

Man has been given everything he requires in this world: he feels hungry and he has been given food to satisfy his hunger; he feels thirsty and has been given water to quench his thirst; he feels tired and he has been given sleep to replenish and restore him. There is one thing the man has not been given, and that is the perfect world that he longs for more than anything. The means required for such a perfect world are present in this world, but every time it seems to be within man’s reach, worldly limitations prevent him from achieving it. One can only conclude that the perfect world that man desires is destined for another world; only if we seek it there can our dreams be fulfilled. But man’s misfortune is that he seeks perfection in this ephemeral world where experience shows that it cannot be obtained. o Listen to soul-nourishing articles while on the go. A great companion for study groups and collective reading exercises.
