HARUN YAHYA (ADNAN OKTAR)

term of every life is fixed." (Surah Al 'Imran: 145) This term can
sometimes be long, but can also sometimes be short. The truth is,
however, that even the period we regard as being long rarely ex-
tends beyond 7 or 8 decades.
That is why, rather than engage in making long-term plans,

man has to be guided by the Qur'an and the sunnah of our Prophet
(saas) and live by their principles, knowing that he will give an ac-
count of all his deeds in the hereafter. Otherwise, failure to prepare
oneself for the eternal life, missing the one and only opportunity
granted for this purpose, and deserving hell for all eternity will be a
painful situation indeed. That is why, every moment spent in vain in
this world is a great loss and a giant step taken towards an atrocious
end.
Since this is so, this fact should take precedence over everything
else in this world. Just as a person prepares himself for the possible
situations which he will confront in the course of his life, one needs
to devote similar and even greater efforts, to be prepared for the next
life. Everyone will experience everything which will happen after
death all alone. To those seeking eternal salvation, Allah commands

the following:
You who have faith! Have fear of Allah and let each self look
to what it has sent forward for tomorrow. Have fear of Allah.
Allah is aware of what you do. Do not be like those who have
forgotten Allah, so that He has made them forget themselves.
Such people are evil-doers. (Surat al-Hashr: 18-19)
