It’s such a cliché question but also very telling how we see ourselves and the World as if it belongs to us.
Who can have any kind of guarantee to reach even tomorrow? Every night we sleep without knowing if we will wake up.
We waste so much effort to be someone adjusted to rules of today’s society and it’s expectations. I feel I wasted so much time at schools university etc. All because we need to show a paper we did well. This paper doesn’t tell if I am ready to be good person or able mother / father or capable at life. It tells I passed set examples. Oh wow so am I ready to raise a baby now? Far from it!
We trust our innocent babies to schools but real school should be our homes. Where you learn by good example and true morals to set you up for life and after.
Whole world is our school and our time here is about learning the meaning of existing. Nothing belongs to us, we are here only temporary. If we put too much emphasis on this short stay we loose so much,it’s uncountable. Do we learn this at school? Never! We are like race horse trained to jump or run but for what? Money?
Can you buy time? can you buy peace? Real test isn’t passing exams at schools but knowing we are part of huge project called creation. Everything and us belong to Allah. If you are a beliver you passed the firts hurdle if you can live every second feeling yes I am extremely lucky to be part of this project I should do my very best to own my role. Now you are ready to earn good deed points every step even while sleeping insaAllah. Now if you get married open business or raise family you can be the best example by following right path that can take you and people around you to ultimate goal… Your creator’s approval and rewards here and after life God willing. If you live without knowledge of the test how can you pass? Good news is Allah tells us in detail how to 😃
Learn it from only source Quran. Many people converted to Islam after reading it. Islam means peace/ peaceful. I know from my own experience nothing gives more satisfaction than finding the right path and following daily….
