Introducing Islam a Simple Introduction to Islam
A Danger Warning
~ 39 ~
The Prophet warned us that we are confronted with
a reality which we can never change; we have no
choice but to face it. Death and suicide only transfer
us to another world; they do not obliterate us
altogether. The Creator has established an eternal
scheme for success and failure which no one can
alter or opt out of. We have to choose between
heaven and hell; we have no other choice.
If the meteorological department forecasts a
hurricane, it is telling us about an impending
disaster in which those affected will have no say in
the matter; another power will control events. One
can either escape or expose oneself to destruction.
So, when the earthquake of the Last day occurs
there will be no path to safety save that which the
Prophet of Islam has laid down. We ignore that
path at our own peril.
