CONCLUSION



                               ear Children! In this book we have dealt with the most
                               fundamental and important facts about our lives. We asked

                     D questions such as, "What is the purpose of our lives?," " How
                     does our Lord, Who created us and everything surrounding us, want us to

                     conduct ourselves?," "  What are our responsibilities towards our
                     Creator?," "What is the life of the Hereafter?," "Why should we fear being
                     sent to the Fire?," etc.

                           We hope you think about these questions very carefully. Right now,
                     you are very young, but never forget that one day you will also be an old

                     man or woman.
                           There may be people around you who will tell you that you are too
                     young to think about death. But you must keep in mind that no one knows

                     when death will come upon him or her. You may encounter death in a day
                     or in ten years' time. When you think about all these things, you will
                     immediately realise how senseless it is to waste time.

                           Never forget that you can always make up an excuse for everything.
                     You can even convince other people. But in the life in the hereafter which
                     is due to begin upon death, you will not be able to make any excuses for

                     your faults and wrongdoings in the presence of Allah, Who knows and
                     sees everything.

                           For this reason, you must think about these facts without losing time
                     and begin striving to become a person who is loved by Allah.


                                             …"Glory be to You!
                        We have no knowledge except what You have taught us.

                                 You are the All-Knowing, the All-Wise."
                                            (Surat al-Baqara: 32)
