During that time, our fate in respect to paradise or hell would have been made known to us.
Meanwhile above the soil, our houses that were left behind would have become either homes for others or demolished for better structures. Our clothes would have become destroyed or rags for others and replaced by more recent trends; our cars will be on display as historical artifacts by others or recycled for more advanced technology. But for us, we will be, for the most part, never thought about by anyone again.
Think of it, how often do you think about your great grandfather? How often does your great grandmother cross your mind?. You see!
Our presence here on earth today, that presence that we make so much noise about and shed so many tears for, was preceded by countless generations before us and shall be followed by countless generations after us. Every generation that passes through this world barely finds the time to take a glance at the world, before needing to bid it farewell and handing over the baton, having not fulfilled even a fraction of their ambitions.
Our lives are, in reality, far shorter than we imagine.
In 2120, every one of us will realise from within the grave just how worthless this world actually was, and how trivial those dreams were that we centred on.
In 2120, every one of us will be wishing that we had dedicated our lives to great matters of Allah, doing His bid, and devoted ourselves to doing good deeds, particularly those that continue to benefit us after our death.
In 2120, some reading this piece will be screaming out, but in vain:
“Lord return me! Give me another chance, so that I may have another opportunity to live for you ..”
The response to this request, however, shall be:
“No! and behind them is now a barrier until that Great Day."
{لَعَلِّي أَعْمَلُ صَالِحًا فِيمَا تَرَكْتُ ۚ كَلَّا ۚ إِنَّهَا كَلِمَةٌ هُوَ قَائِلُهَا ۖ وَمِن وَرَائِهِم بَرْزَخٌ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ} [المؤمنون : 100]
In 2120, many will be in regret, saying:
“I wish that I had prepared for life after my journey on earth.”
{يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي} [الفجر : 24]
Oh, woe to me! I wish I had not taken that one as a friend
{يَا وَيْلَتَىٰ لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِيلًا} [الفرقان : 28]
Let us reappraise ourselves, for surely what happened to those we talk of, heard of and read of will surely happen to us. Let us take advantage of today while it is called TODAY.
Tomorrow is not yours until it comes. And keeping our faith in Allah is the ONLY way out.
And live your life on this planet earth wisely, May the Almighty Allah help us
Where will you spend ETERNITY...?
