Who deserves the
|
|||||
I want to share
an old experience. Once, I asked some of my friends a few questions which
were: How many times
have you desired for paradise as you desire for worldly things? Other than
reciting a few crammed prayers, has the paradise, which is wider than this
sky, ever created a thrill in your heart? Has the desire for the paradise
ever established hope in your mind? Has the risk of losing it, ever posed a
problem for you? Has the hope to achieve it made you happy? Have you ever
imagined its palaces, gardens, rivers and water-falls? Enjoyment of its
parties, its enthusiastic servants, its purified companions, beautiful
sceneries have ever produced an excitement in your feelings? The paradise,
which is a completely ignored area in our theology, has it ever became an
active part of our routine life? The answer was
shocking! 100% people replied in negative. This was during my student life. I
was surprised with these responses. I said with grief, “The person who deserves the paradise is
the one who struggles for it at the level of a ‘sacrifice’. Alas! We are not
doing anything for it at the level of a ‘demand’.”
Now I think
that this world is so beautiful and its problems are harsh enough to draw the
attention of a person. Now who has time to search for the hidden paradise?
Who will bear the loss of a cash deal for a gain in a credit deal? Tragedy of a Modern Person Achieving the
blessings of paradise has become so easy in the modern world, as it was not
before. Due to a long struggle of Prophet Muhammad (صلی
اللہ علیہ واٰلہ
وسلم) and his companions, the time, when people had to bear
the cruelties of persecution, is over. Today, everybody enjoys an absolute
freedom in religious beliefs and rituals. Moreover, academic developments in
modern world have made the religious theology understandable on purely
scientific basis. Islam, which
was the ‘religion of nature’ from its beginning, is now the ‘religion of
science’. For a knowledgeable modern person, believing in Islam is not a
belief in mythology; it is a belief in scientific possibilities. The concept of
paradise is easy to imagine in modern world. Facilities available to ancient
kings and lords are now available to a common man. Even the facilities
available to everybody today were not achievable for the kings of ancient
world. Consider a few examples. A journey of
months in medieval world can be completed in a few hours in the modern world.
Similarly, air conditioning has made it easy to enjoy cooling during the
summer. Development of media has made it possible to imagine the enjoyments
of paradise as well as the punishment of hell. The tragedy of
a modern person is, that (s)he has not taken the advantage of religious
freedom. (S)he has not considered these blessings of modern world as an
introduction to the blessings of paradise. (S)he has made them his / her life
mission. A person wants to achieve all these blessings in this world at any
price, even at cost of the paradise. Corruption,
offence, bribery, dishonesty and all other similar behaviors of a person will
result in loss of paradise. People adopt these behaviors because they want to
achieve a paradise in this world. In our
opinion, in addition to various other factors, our religious scholars are
also responsible for this situation. It is their responsibility to call
people towards the paradise of God. Alas! They have engaged an ordinary
person into petty religious issues, which, according to Quran, are
non-issues.
The Call of Quran Today, the major
issue of our religious people is their ‘commitment to their group’. In
addition to that, they believe that the religion is the name of certain
rituals. They do adopt these rituals without thinking about the wisdom
governing these rituals. Major religious fault of the modern world is that
the people, who struggle in the name of Quran, are focusing their efforts on
political dominance of religion. It is not the proper forum to describe
details of this mistake, but as a consequence of this mentality, the real
message of Quran i.e. be prepared to meet your Lord, is rapidly becoming a
lower priority for religious people. Just read the
Quran with an empty mind. It will be a great surprise for you that the Quran
is not interested at all in these issues, which are supposedly the major
problems in the opinion of our religious leaders. Quran is specifically
concerned with the basic human issue. The Quran wants to save all human
beings from the agonies of hellfire. The Quran wants to make a person
deserving the mercy of his / her Lord. All Prophets
of Allah came with the basic message of monotheism and the concept of life
after death. They put all their efforts to convince people on these major
issues. These prophets (علیہم
الصلوۃ
والسلام) educated the people who accepted their
message. Their education was oriented towards purifying their personalities
from physical, spiritual, ethical and intellectual filths. The result of
their struggle was to enable their people to live in the pure, clean and
wonderful paradise. (This article is adopted from the
