Contemplating The Hereafter
اَفَحَسِبۡتُمۡ اَنَّمَا خَلَقۡنٰکُمۡ عَبَثًا وَّ اَنَّکُمۡ اِلَیۡنَا لَا تُرۡجَعُوۡنَ (۱۱۵)
Translation from Kanz al-Īmān: “So, do you think that we have created you in vain, and that you are not to return to us.”[1]
O devotees of the Prophet, reflect! From this Quranic verse, we learn that mankind has been created for a specific purpose. Guiding us concerning this purpose, it is mentioned in Juzˈ 27, Sūrah al-Dhāriyāt, verse 56:
وَ مَا خَلَقۡتُ الۡجِنَّ وَ الۡاِنۡسَ اِلَّا لِیَعۡبُدُوۡنِ (۵۶)
Translation from Kanz al-Īmān: “And I have created Jinn and human beings only for this, that they should worship me.”[2]
We learn from this noble verse that humans and jinn were not created without purpose, rather the true purpose of their creation is to worship Allah Almighty.
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
The test of this world and the trial of the Hereafter
O devotees of the Prophet! There is no doubt that this world is the sowing ground for the Hereafter. Every action carried out in this world holds great importance in the Hereafter, so it is necessary that we perform righteous deeds for its betterment. When we keep in mind our true purpose, i.e. worshipping Allah Almighty, bettering our Hereafter becomes easy.
Contemplate! When examinations are held in madrasas, schools and colleges, it is observed that students strive their utmost to attain success
