A journey without return

Death is a journey without return. People do not come back to earth when they have already passed away. Regret after death is of no use. Even if a person wants to return also, he will not be able to return.

Thus, it is in the interest of a person that he does whatever he has to do before it is too late. Above all, he must rectify his shortcomings before leaving this Dunya.

For some, death is the end of everything. But for a Muslim, it is just the end of the life on this Dunya. In reality, it is the beginning of a life which will exist eternally. There will be some who will be in well-being for eternity just as there will be some who will suffer eternally. The one who has led his life as he should will be in well-being. On the other hand, whoever has spent his life in disobedience will have an endless suffering.

May Allah Ta'ala protect us all from this. Ameen!

It is a reality that very few people know. It is a reality that very few out of few lead their lives according to it. The great majority do not understand or they do not want to understand or they pretend not to understand. Anyway, without accepting this reality, people cannot become human. They will always lead their lives in a way that is not worth the name that it bears. Indecency, immorality, shamelessness are the inevitable effects of remaining insensitive to this reality. It is that state where a person stops thinking or stops believing in this journey without return and what will happen to him after that.
