Allah offers people the best life, one that suits their soul.
For this reason, everyone should comprehend this real-
ity and make a conscious vow to attain it.
Which is preferable? A few decades of unhappiness,
sadness, and anxiety during which all pleasures are used
up to be followed by a life of agony in Hell, or a life of
friendship, closeness, and intimacy with Allah, in which His
approval is won; a life of contentment and security in which
every moment is filled with pleasure to be followed by the
eternal life of Paradise, the pleasures of which will never be
consumed?
Surely, the only way for those who use their minds and
conscience is the way of submission to Allah and following
the Qur’an’s morality. Hopefully, this book will enable peo-
ple to see this reality and attain His mercy.
O you who believe! Enter Islam totally. Do not follow in
the footsteps of satan. He is an outright enemy to you.
(Surat al-Baqara: 208)
