Journey in This Entire World

Our Lord, do not let our hearts go crooked after You have given us guidance, and bestow upon us mercy from Your own. Surely, You, and You alone, are the Be-stower. [Al Imran: 8]

Each of us should think of the Final Moments of our life in this world in terms of every day work. What is our mission living on this entire world? What tasks keep us busy? Most people want to worked hard and become rich, have a happy family and fulfill all their dream. So every human being, each on various fields is planning; hunting something…..has objectives and aims– running after something. Haven’t you ever seen how courageous people become to achieved their dream and how generously they spend money to establish each plan they make? Haven’t you seen often people become daring in their endeavors; sacrificing close relatives….even leaving behind the most beloved ones just because want to see their dream comes true.
But ask just one simple question, after many plans, many fulfillment and achievements, many ups and downs, many failures, many efforts – What is next? Do you think that we all will live forever on this small world. Life on this world are just only a temporary and short period, in waiting to another world that is enternity which is called “akhirah”.. Sadly, what has happened today; people keep hating each other, fighting extremely for a better life, having a war and attacking other country to show how powerful they are, killing innocent people just to fulfill their agenda and dreams. Why all this happened? So, firstly we should see iwithin ourselves to see who we are and why we are created by Allah..
The basic Islamic concept is that the whole universe was created by Allah, whom Islam calls Allah, and who is the Lord and the Sovereign of the universe, which He Alone sustains. He created man and appointed for each human being a fixed period of life that he is to spend upon the earth. Allah has prescribed a certain code of life as the correct one for mankind, but has, at the same time, conferred upon man the freedom of choice as to whether or not he adopts this code as the actual basis of his life. One who chooses to follow the code revealed by Allah becomes a Muslim (believer) and one who refuses to follow it becomes a kafir (disbeliever).
Sincerity in all your good deeds, whether in school, as well as at your place of work and activities, to be diligent in all your activities and to ensure that sincerity is always present so that they are all valued and rewarded by Allah. To act justly in all forms of charitable activities within your capacity, whether in the form of social community, or Islamic community, as long as it does not clash with the teachings of Islam. Do not give up due to the weight of the battle and the distance of the journey towards victory in Islam, because the disease of the Ummah today has reached a chronic level, and which has affected them over a long period of time. Thus, treatment requires a lengthy period of time. It requires patience and perseverance.
May our dream of the unity of the ummah and khilafah system become a reality. Amin.
