Islam has completely reshaped how I see this life. It is short, temporary, and not our real home. The real home comes after, and the way we spend this life directly shapes what we walk into on the other side. Once you truly understand this, the pull of the world quiets down, and the pull toward Allah grows stronger.
This life is very temporary, and it is not the real life.
Use the Remaining Time to Worship and Remember
Anyone who is conscious must use the remaining time they have to worship, remember Allah, and get closer to Him; otherwise, they will regret it so much later.
Once you have been given awareness, you cannot waste time. Every day is an opportunity to build closeness with Allah, and the regret for missed years cannot be recovered on the Day of Judgement.
Most of the World Is Astray and Influenced by Shaytan
The deeper I get into Islam, the more and more obvious it is to me that most of the world is completely astray and influenced by Shaytan; other major religions are corrupted and have been altered over the centuries, so they are blocking the truth and people’s access to God.
When you actually study Islam through the Quran, you start to see how much of the world is disconnected without even realising it. The distortions in other belief systems keep people busy but far from real guidance.
The Ego of Past and Current Leaders
This all happened because of the ego of past-time leaders over the centuries, as well as many of today’s current leaders in the world; they want the control and the power themselves, and they want their societies to be at their mercy.
Ego at the top has always distorted the message. Leaders who wanted worship for themselves changed and hid parts of the truth so that people would depend on them rather than on Allah.
Only God Has Power Over All Things
Only God has power and control over all things.
He is the most Merciful and Forgiving, but His punishment is severe when we disobey and exceed the bounds.
His mercy is vast, but so is His justice. Understanding both sides of Allah’s nature is what keeps a believer humble, grateful, and careful in their behaviour.
Security and Peace Only With Allah
We will only have security and peace when we are attached to Allah and obey His commands.
Real peace is not something the world can hand you. It arrives quietly when you finally attach your heart to Allah and align your life with what He has commanded.
Ignoring His Guidance Leads to Fear
If you ignore His guidance and signs and choose not to submit to His will when He calls you, you will be miserable and live a life in fear.
Ignoring Allah after He has called you carries a weight that shows up in every part of life. The heart becomes restless, the mind stays in fear, and no worldly comfort can fully cover it up.
Worldly Pleasures Above God
Most are too attached to worldly pleasures above God. God will give us everything we want, but once we are fully submitted to His Will and working for His cause.
Allah does not withhold from His servants; He gives generously to those who are aligned with Him. Once your life is truly for His cause, He provides in ways you cannot arrange for yourself.
Only Worship Allah With No Partners
We should only be worshiping and obeying Allah with no partners besides Him.
Some may have it good for now, but they are only being tested.
Islam is the truth and the one true religion for the whole of humanity.
Not everyone with a comfortable life is being rewarded; sometimes they are being tested. Real judgement is on the Day of Judgement, and only sincere worship of Allah alone will hold up on that Day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Do You Say This Life Is Not The Real Life?
Because this life is very temporary and it is not our real home. The real, eternal life is in the Hereafter. This world is a test, and how we use our time here directly shapes where we end up on the other side.
Why Should Conscious People Use Their Remaining Time For Worship?
Because anyone who is conscious must use their remaining time to worship, remember Allah, and get closer to Him. Otherwise they will regret it so much later, and the regret on the Day of Judgement cannot be undone.
Why Have Other Major Religions Become Corrupted?
Because past and present leaders wanted control and power for themselves. Their ego drove them to alter and corrupt the scriptures so people would depend on them rather than on Allah, which blocks people’s access to the truth.
Where Does Real Security And Peace Come From?
Only from being attached to Allah and obeying His commands. When you ignore His guidance and refuse to submit to His will after He has called you, you end up miserable and living in fear, no matter what worldly comforts you have.
What About People Who Seem To Have A Good Life Without Faith?
Some may have it good for now, but they are only being tested. Comfort is not always a reward; sometimes it is a test. Real judgment is in the Hereafter, and Islam is the truth and the one true religion for the whole of humanity.
