Reminder for the believers

Quran by Abdullah Ghatasheh

We will answer three questions today;

1. Why did we come to the earth?

2. For how long we are here?

3. The day of death.

1. Why did we come to the earth?

Earth by Martin Péchy

We were sitting in front of Allah. Raised a little and made the best of His creations. Allah orders Satan to prostrate. He takes pride in his fire-ly roots and negates orders. He is banished from heavens and is taken to earth. Allah calls him “un worthy of staying in heavens”.

Similarly, we commit a mistake. Eat from the forbidden tree and lose the heavenly dress. We go naked. We thought we will turn into angles and will live forever. Greed overtook us and we lost our right to stay in heavens and in abundance. It falls heavy on us. We are sent to this planet. Just another level in the heavens. And made to live for a small period of 70 years or 100.

So to answer the question, “why did we come here?” We came, to take the punishment. To qualify. To prove our worthiness of living in a paradise. To prove satan wrong. And to make Allah convinced, He was right when He was making us His caliph of this planet. It was to tell His people, we are messengers of Quran, Torah and Bible. We are the givers of good. We ourselves are responsible for lifting people and bringing the needed change. We, not our Prime Minister, not our Prophet, but we, ourselves.

2. For how long we are here?

Year by cottonbro

2 years, top, if we are un lucky and get a Corona hit. If not un lucky, 20 years. And if we are super human, destined to live for ever, 30 years. In 30 years, the hell will break loose. Skies will open. Angels will meet. Jinns will become visible. Some flying around and some meeting our passed ones. It will be a different world. As the day of death comes, you will realise, you were living in a grave. Couldn’t leave the shackles. Couldn’t breathe to your fullest. Couldn’t eat to fill your tummies. You just couldn’t live a free life. But now, after you died, you are a free guy. Running, hunting and laughing.

3. The day of death

They will get their portion when Our angels will come to them to take them in death. Angels will say, “Where are those you used to invoke besides Allah?“ They will say, “They have left us,” and they will bear witness that they were disbelievers.
- Surah Al Araf verse 37

Just another night in your all nights, it will be. The day when you will be sleeping in your bed. Cosy as kid. And you will be awakened to a new world. Some angel, gigantic in size, endless feathers, dread-ly features, will come to wake you up. This day it won’t be the same fan above your head, the same floor underneath. This day, it is different, some confusion and some rapid heart beats. A fear over your head, “some thing has attacked me from above”. You will feel helpless and weak, unable to move and get up. This force will take you out of your body and ask you one question; Where are those you used to listen to beside Allah?. You will not find the bosses, the neighbours and colleagues who gave you happy and calm advises. No father who used to stop you from waking up for Tahajhud. No mother, who loved you for running away from mosques. No one will be there. It will be all on you. The negations, the stoppings and the giving ups. You will be yourself, solely, lonely, answering to this might of Allah, that has finally come in front of you.

What answer will give you, my brother? What will you tell the angel? The door to an endless life is opening next, will you be giving up on this door. Won’t you will be wanting to enter the skies and meet your Prophet? Won’t you be wishing, you could get the window to the paradise. Won’t you will be looking above and loving the badly missed Allah? What will you be doing, if you got driven into this race of competition to getting into riches.

It is a huge life, a huge world, gigantic planets, flying creatures, running streams, beautiful birds, curvy roads and the only palace that deserves to be a palace ahead of you. The palace of Allah; the most beautiful, the highest and the endless.

Conclusion

Discipline by Lukas

In past 3 months, of reading Quran and connecting to our mosque, I have found, there is only “one way” to live your life. No books, teachers and luxuries will give you the “abundance” but Quran. It is super bright and fun book. It at times took me to skies to teach me the “creation of humans”. At times it took me to “womb” where I got birth. Some days it was Ibrahim fighting the world and some days it was Musa convincing the Pharoah. Some mountains got inverted and some people brought back to life. It told me, it is not just my office, laptop and home that exist in my life. There are people around, my parents, siblings, neighbours and colleagues. It taught me to weigh each person, when I weighed, I found every single human being weigh endless. At times, it took me to empty lounge, me lonely on stage, and at times it took me to filled hall and gazing people at me on stage. I have realised, this book is colorful, dynamic and bigger than everything I came across in my life.

Quran is a manual. Look at the magic. The world came into being. Next came humans. Next came a manual. Who could have found the serenity and love, without Quran? Who could have found sincerity with out the examples of Prophet. Who could have realised this world is just a stone without Quran. There are skies filled with similar stones. There are heavens and above far above in the skies, there is 1 sky. And then there are more of them. Who could have known and Who could have met our Creator without Quran. No one.
