people. People with worldly ambitions count the days, make plans,
and prepare for the day when they will achieve their ambitions.
They admit that their lives are geared toward these ends and that
they live for such goals. It is perfectly natural for people to have
such goals but it would be a grave mistake to ignore the real aim of
their existence on earth and run after only these goals. Because in
reality, humanity was created to serve Allah. Even if they do not
acknowledge it, deep down they know it. However, people consider
this life to be eternal and spend it trying either to forget or
completely ignore the reason for their creation. Regardless of what
they do while alive, their final destination is Allah's presence: the
moment of justice on the Day of Judgment.
Every passing day brings us a little closer to that Day. Every
hour, minute, and second is a new step toward resurrection and
judgment. This progress, which cannot be reversed or stopped, is
followed by everyone, for:
Certainly it is to Us they will return. Then their reckoning is
Our concern. (Surat al-Ghashiya, 25-26)
When that time comes, everything will reach its conclusion and
there will be no way to go back and make amends. All of those who
disregarded the truth, shown to them by their conscience, will
experience a previously unknown degree of astonishment and
panic. All of those who rejected Allah's existence and unity will
undergo an unequaled punishment, for His Messengers warned
and informed them how to live and invited them to the true
religion. Moreover, Allah gave them enough time and opportunity
to reflect and reason upon the truth they were told, for:
... Did We not let you live long enough for anyone who was
going to pay heed to pay heed?... (Surat al-Fatir, 37)
