Introducing Islam a Simple Introduction to Islam
The Reality of Life
~ 299 ~
one is going to have to answer before God for one’s
actions. One does not see others as mere people; one
realizes that Almighty God is also standing by their
side. What we must do is strive to save ourselves
and our fellows from the punishment of the next
world. The prophets have taught that man should
make every effort to save himself from eternal
doom. We must do our utmost to protect ourselves
from the torment of Judgement Day and exhort
others to do the same. There is no task in life more
important than this. This is the Muslims’
fundamental task. Only if they perform this task can
they hope to obtain that which they desire in this
world.
