Introducing Islam a Simple Introduction to Islam
Introduction
~ 23 ~
One has to think seriously about life when one
considers it from this point of view. If we keep in
mind our eternal destiny, we shall then have no
choice but to submit to the Lord who created us,
and who will judge us after death.
We must do our utmost to protect ourselves and
others from the torment of hell fire. God’s Prophets
taught man the reality of life. According to their
teachings the real issue facing us in life is how to
avoid God’s punishment in the next world. We
must prepare ourselves for meeting God and must
exhort others to do the same. As Muslims, this is the
basic task that lies before us. Other things that we
desire in life can be ours only if we perform this
fundamental task.
