Greatness, Beauty and Perfection of Lord
The known universe of man is a combination of two worlds. There is a world created by God. This world is the last sign of life and every aspect of it. There is immense beauty in this world. There is a perfect balance. The colors and fragrances are evident. There is a charm of song and melody. There are countless windows of light and brightness. There are countless folds of touch and pleasure. There is the twinkling of stars. There is light from the fireflies. There is beauty of the skies. There is a rustle of wind. There is the charm of instruments and voices. In short, if you can imagine any quality of life, here is a complete example of it. This world is a mere introduction to the infinite perfection of God, the Eternal. But this perfection reflects His beauty.
The other world is man’s own world. Death and annihilation rule here. There are earthquakes, thunderbolts, floods, storms, diseases, old age, disability, need, grief, disappointment and sadness. There is fear. There is a burning sensation of sorrow. There is a fire of remorse. Innocents are killed and punished here. The weak become victims of oppression. The skilled are left destitute and the talented unemployed. Therefore, death wears every veil and trouble covers this earth and its inhabitants every day. Although this world emerges not by God’s will, but by His permission. Therefore, this is also a small introduction to God’s perfection. But this perfection reflects his greatness.
When did this cycle of life and death start and how long will it last, nobody knows. But what we know is that soon these two worlds known to man will end. Then a new world will be established. In that world, God will once again create two worlds with His greatness and perfection and with His beauty and perfection. But these two worlds will not be an introduction to His perfection, beauty and glory, but a complete example of it.
The first of these worlds will be the world of paradise. Only God’s beauty will appear in this world. But every beauty must have reached the end of perfection. There will be life but without fear of death. There will be youth but heedless of old age. There will be beauty but unfamiliar with decay. There will be pleasure but protected from all disgust. There will be peace but free from all fears. Praise be to Allah the Almighty.
The other world will be the world of hell. There will be so many forms of torment, trouble, blame, agony, deprivation, despair, hunger, thirst, yearning, helplessness that the forms of remorse and fire cannot be counted. All this will also be perfect. But this perfection will consist of the heat of greatness and anger, with which the land of hell will be burning every bit. Glory be to God Almighty.
The first settlement will be inhabited by two types of people. Ones who did not live in this world indifferent to their master. They obeyed the order that came. Apologized where there was a mistake. Even if their lives did not meet the requirements of faith and morals, but they continued to fulfill them at a minimum. Others were those who took to the highest level of heaven. These were the people who made God their life. They lived every moment of their lives in His memory and love. Bowed before Him in every aspect of life. They continued to strive for the support of His religion. Were active in worshiping the Lord. An unseen God became their life. So when God appeared on the Day of Resurrection, He blessed them with His nearness forever.
The inhabitants of the second settlement will also be of two types of people. First, those who were disobedient. They kept causing violence and riots. Killings and assassination were their habits and wickedness was their profession. To whom the truth came, but knowingly they closed their eyes. They saw the truth in the form of truth, but arrogance put a noose around their neck. Their heads didn’t bow. Prejudice, bigotry, selfishness, envy, and pride were their hearts’ diseases and it drowned them in a town where torment is raining everywhere.
The other inhabitants of this settlement are those whose hearts were negligent. The pleasures of this world blinded them. Wickedness and evilness covered their lives. They lived as animals and could not rise above the demands of their stomach and genitals to see in which world of beauty and perfection they were settled. They considered this place of introduction of God as a pasture. Instead of the food of knowledge and worship, the sustenance of sin and iniquity became their destiny. They missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of recognizing the Lord. These heedless will also face the unbearable heat of the greatness of God along with the rebels.
We all belong to one of these four groups. It will not take much time that everyone will know who was the one who was afraid of God’s call and who was the one who was having sleep of negligence even after every thunder of the hereafter’s warning. Who was the one who was obedient and who was a rebel.
