Truth Exposed

One God, One Life, One Chance!  

 The truth is life on earth is very short indeed. Therefore, our main aim and efforts should be focused on the hereafter, and following the straight path of life. Everything do will be judged upon, therefore it is vital for us to remember this when conducting our ourselves everyday. There's a saying "The world is like a snake, smooth to the touch but with killing poison," another is that “The world is a bridge which you must cross over (to the afterlife) but upon which you should not build.” All the fame, glory, wealth and honour that people strive for in this capitalistic world are futile, and will be of no use to us in the everlasting times to come after we depart from this world. We will not be able to take these worldly pleasures to the grave with us. Only our deeds (good and bad) will be taken. We are soley responsible for these that we do willingly, and they will our own in there entirety

 In a world that is in chaos politically, socially and environmentally, how can humanity survive much longer?

 Islam has the answers and solutions to all our problems, wether it be on an individual basis, or a collective one. By following Islam we would all be in a better situation. All the laws and injunctions given by Allah and His Prophet (pbuh) are pure; while the man-made laws suffer from the impurities of human bias and other imperfections. Thus any formal law can only be truly just when it is purified by divine guidance - as elucidated by the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Muslim countries for example, have some of the lowest crime, violence and anti-social behaviour rates in the world. Most of the problems in the modern society are due to the people going away from Islam. If Islam was implemented greater, then you would see a far better off society and culture for everyone.

 Let us pause for a while and sincerely recall and critically reflect. The purpose of our creation is that we worship none but Allah. Allah doesn't need us, He is in no need of anyone or anything. Allah doesn't need us praying or worshipping Him, He has angels constantly praying for Him day and night. However, we need Allah, we require and depend on our Lord, our creator and our sustainer. Without Allah there is nothing. We must not forget how loving, careing and forgiving our Lord is. Allah loves us more than we could love ourselves or our own people, Allah wants us to do Allah well, and when we go astray, Allah is willing to forgive us. Allah assures us that whoever commits a sin will be forgiven if he/she repents and ceases the acts:

 "Surely Allah loves those who turn unto him in repentance and loves those who purify themselves."                                                                     (Qur'an 2:222)

 "Your Lord hath inscribed for Himself (the rule of) mercy: verily, if any of you did evil in ignorance, and thereafter repented, and amend (his conduct), Lo! He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."                                                     (Qur'an 6:54)

 This verse is affirmed by a Hadith Qudsi, where Allah Almighty says: “My mercy prevails over My wrath.” 

 Again, Allah says to the believers in a Hadith Qudsi.

“O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me, and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth, and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it.”
