1. AKHIRAT
Man is an eternal creature. However, God has
divided his life span into two parts. A very tiny part
of it has been placed in this world, while all of the
remainder has been placed in the Hereafter. The
present world is the world of action, while the
world of the Hereafter is the place for reaping the
harvest of actions. The present world is imperfect,
but the world of the Hereafter is perfect in every
respect. The Hereafter is a limitless world where all
things have been provided in their ideal state.
God has placed His heaven - full of all kinds of
blessings - in that world of the Hereafter. Those
who prove to be God-fearing and pious in this
world will enter into that world to find the gates of
heaven eternally open for them.
But those who are oblivious of God in this present
world or who opt for the path of contumacy in
regard to God’s matters are criminals in God’s eyes.
All such people will be deprived of the blessings of
the Hereafter.
