"Deception Point"

Life is just like a piano...its how you play it to make a beautiful melody!

  
Life. Status. Luxuries. Wealth. Beauty. Greed. Lust. Pollution. Evil. Parties. Degrees. High Ranks. Pleasures. In short...Nothingness!

I started my article with the word..Life! And ended my statement with Nothingness!

Just think when a child comes into this world carrying nothing with him....and a grown up old man when he dies....his condition is also the same! Yes....but the situation is different with the old man ....and that the truth lies in his heart and his soul! His heart and soul are full....but it depends from person to person. You might think that the person has lived his life to the fullest in this world therefore he might take with him a treasure trove of things with ...but no! Allah swt will judge each and everyone not by his material wealth that he had in this temporary abode, not by his rank, not by his degrees..But by His deeds!

Allah swt shows us at every point that this life is a deception, an illusion! For example if you order a big upsized meal of burger, fries and drink, you have your fill for that time! You sleep contentedly..But for that night only! Your stomach the next will again ask for more, and the meal you had the previous would feel as if you had it a year back and that your hunger is back! You wont feel the fullness anymore... similarly if a child is gifted a lot of toys, he will still ask for more...because he would at a point get bored out of his old toys!

Everything in this worldly life is nothing but a deception! Even the relationships which we have in this world, i.e of being a parent, a sibling, a husband or a wife, daughter or a son, etc. The feelings of happiness, the sorrow, the anger, envy, depressed, stressed out etc are also worldly because in the life of the hereafter everybody will experience either one of the two feelings: either fear or contentment.

So it all depends upon our deeds...that we do in this deceptive world!

I take life as a game...a game where we are told to be in a room, and we are shown different things, and we have to pick few things...but behold, some are real and some are just our illusion! We have few chances to make mistakes or else you will go on losing the game. To play that game we just need true faith in Allah and in ourselves! Which may sound easy but it’s a very hard game indeed! We already have been given cheats for the game that is one who will have trust in Allah, taqwa, and implement on Quran and sunnah are the ones who will win this game fair and square! But sadly just a few have won this game and are winning and others keeping on losing...because they don’t even want to try!

dunya key aey musafir...manzil teri qabr hai..

 tey kar raha hai jo tu....buss do din ka yeh safar hai!

We see people taking their last breath, dying, getting buried deep down in the grave...but still we don't understand! Allah swt has said in the Quran that they are blind, deaf and dumb! Because they don’t pay heed to all this and they are partying in this world...

But Allah does justice to all...Allah has loosened his rope on them and has said that though they have been given so many chances, they still have rebelled and have become transgressors..Therefore Allah has put in disease into their hearts and they will be given a painful torment in the hereafter! Astagfirullah! This is NOT only said for the disbelievers..Its for us believers too! Because we too, do so many things that Allah doesn’t like, such as murdering, swearing, being jealous, black magic, going to shrines of sufis, women don’t wear hijab, and many other things ...May Allah forgive us All and guide us to the straight path! Ameen*

Remember Allah gives us on every moment the chance to adopt the right path, but its our own fear, motivation and complete faith in Allah which drives us towards that path.

Allah knows best!
