Page 101 - Those Who Exhaust All Their Pleasures In This Life

remember; but how will the remembrance help peo-
ple? They will exclaim: “Oh! If only I had prepared in
advance for this life of mine!” (Surat al-Fajr: 22-24)
Allah gives people a lifetime to see the true path and to
know His mercy. Those who refuse to take advantage of
this will regret their decision:
They will shout out in it: “Our Lord! Take us out! We will
act rightly, differently from the way we used to act!”
Did We not let you live long enough for anyone who
was going to pay heed to pay heed? And did not the
warner come to you? Taste it then! There is no helper
for the wrongdoers. (Surah Fatir: 37)
People should know that Allah will not accept the
entreaties of those who make only a death-bed repent-
ance. For this reason, everyone should heed Allah’s
reminders while there is still time and submit to Him before
that inevitable, irreversible moment arrives. If a person
makes it his goal to enjoy the pleasures of this Earthly life,
he must consider, even if he does not want to, that one day
these things will definitely come to a close. When the span
of life that Allah has given an individual comes to an end,
all the pleasures he pursued will lose their value; they will
rot along with his body in the earth. This is a plain truth that
everyone must understand. In addition, they should realize
that denying Allah only brings unhappiness in this world,
regret at the hour of death, and agony in the world to
come, whereas belief brings a depth of spirit that enables
them to enjoy this world’s pleasures to the greatest extent
and abundant pleasures forever in the Hereafter. People
