Principles of Islam
1. Akhirat
~ 7 ~
God is invisible in this present world, and will
appear in all His power and majesty only in the
world of the Hereafter. Then all human beings will
bow low before Him. But at that time, surrendering
will be of no avail. Self-abnegation and acceptance
of God is desired only while God is still invisible.
Surrendering before God after seeing Him in the
Hereafter will not benefit anyone.
Death is not the end of a person’s life. It is only the
beginning of the next stage of life. Death is that
interim stage when man leaves this temporary
world of today for the eternal world of tomorrow.
He goes out of the temporary accommodation of the
world to enter the eternal resting place of the
Hereafter. The coming of this stage in the Hereafter
is the greatest certainty in one’s life. No one can
save himself from this fate in the Hereafter.
