The Qur’an For All Humanity
The System Established by God
~ 77 ~
On the day when they behold that hour, it will be
as if they had tarried in the grave only a single
evening or the morning following it.
(The Qur’an 79:27-46)
What exists before us in the form of the universe is
so great that all other things become totally
insignificant in comparison. When a great
happening such as the creation of the universe can
take place, why cannot matters of smaller import
likewise come into existence? In this context, the
tidings given by the Qur’an that man has to be
reborn is something which has already been made
understandable by known events on a very large
scale.
Man’s life stretches over two phases – one is the
present, the other, the Hereafter which for the
present is unseen. The actual test of man is for him
to prefer the Hereafter as compared to the present
world. But this can be achieved only by those who
have the courage to control their selfish impulses
and desires.
