The dream was broken

All those who ran behind the Dunya were disappointed. Because the Dunya was never sincere to anyone. It is like an object that circulates in the hand of everyone without becoming for anyone. Those who felt that they have got the Dunya, it is rather an illusion, a mirage or a dream. And that dream will break when they close their eyes forever. They will leave this Dunya empty-handed with just a few metres of white cloth on their bodies. And that also will turn into soil along with their bodies in the Qabr. It is in the Qabr that we will realise how much this Dunya deceived us. It did not become for us. What is more serious is that it has distanced us from a lush and successful Aakhirah which is always sincere to those who are interested in it.

Those who lived for Aakhirah have actually known the joy of life. Aakhirah was always sincere to them. These are the ones who have got the real success because it is a success that is permanent. We should not be deceived by the temporary success that we get. There is no success without succeeding in Aakhirah. Real success is success in Aakhirah.

It is too early to mention about the success that we get in this Dunya because the struggle is not yet over. We will know the true score when our eyes will be closed forever. Then, we will realise that everything we thought that we had, has disappeared. Because we were dreaming and finally the dream has broken in order for us to see the greatest reality. That is why we should wake up from the dream of negligence and carelessness, and start working to build that Aakhirah which is waiting for us before that it is too late.
