Page 59 - Unawareness: A Sly Threat

Harun Yahya 57

Those who wish to attain this goal should consider what
will happen to them if death finds them during a moment of
unawareness. Knowing that the eternal punishment waiting
for them will be many times more intense than any pain they
have ever known or can imagine, they should sincerely turn to
Allah and do their best to remove any potential unawareness.

Knowing that one’s true abode is the
Hereafter

Unaware people who do not realize that their true abode is
the Hereafter are always searching for places and possessions
that they believe will make them happier. For example, low-
income people who pay rent dream of owning a house. To
achieve this goal, they live in anxiety and spend most of their lives
paying for a house and other needs by installments. Another per-
son wants to move from an apartment into a detached house,
and another one wants to own a farm with lots of land. Either
because such people do not believe Allah’s promise of property
in the Hereafter or because the promise seems quite remote,
they do not make the slightest effort to obtain it.
However, believers work hard to attain Paradise and its
blessings. Allah warns those who compete with others to
obtain worldly blessings in a heedless manner:

Race each other to forgiveness from your Lord and a
Garden as wide as the heavens and Earth, prepared for
the people who guard against evil. (Surah Al ‘Imran: 133)

Race each other to forgiveness from your Lord and to a
Garden, whose breadth is like that of heaven and Earth
