Self-realization

Allah has created this world and man on this earth in such a way that if the people of Paradise are allowed to eat in this world, then that Paradise will also be disgusting to man after a while. Allah fed the people in Paradise during the time of Musa (AS). Not only did they dislike that house, but the people of Moses (pbuh) were so annoyed that Allah mentioned in the Qur'an a part of the conversation between them and Moses (pbuh),

‘And when you said,‘ O Moses! We will never tolerate the same kind of food. So pray to your Lord for us that He may produce vegetables, crabs, wheat, lentils and onions from whatever grows on our land '(Baqarah, 61).

But is Jannati food disgusting or less palatable? Never. But the same food will be given to the people of Paradise again and again and the people of Paradise will eat that food with great joy. There will be many kinds of food in Paradise like this world and those foods will be served to the people of Paradise again and again, but there will be no dissatisfaction or dislike of the people of Paradise. But in reality, if you look at this world, you will see that after a person eats one or more of his favorite foods only for a few days, at first there is some dissatisfaction with that food and then the dislike goes away. But this will never happen in Paradise. When the people of Paradise are served the same Paradise food over and over again, Allah says in the Qur'an what they will say with joy,

‘Whenever they get any fruit as food, they will say,‘ This is exactly the fruit that we have already got. In fact, they will be given fruits of the same nature '(Baqarah, 25).

Now pay close attention to yourself and to the people around you who want to be eternally happy in this world with worldly things, are they really the happiest or the most satisfied in their lives?

The children of Adam cannot and will not be satisfied with anything in this world. This is how Allah created this world and man. This world is a testing ground for human beings for a moment. But people run like a mirage, hoping for a little satisfaction, running endlessly. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “The lust for abundance has made you heedless. Even if you reach the graveyard '(Takashur, 1-2).

There is no such thing as real success in this world. Worldly success in this world means how much you are acceptable to unsuccessful people. Many examples can be given. For example, the better an actor can perform, the more people will like his performance, but if he is injured and goes to hospital, then there are very few people who go to see him or not. An author writes excellent literature. Not everyone can write that nicely. If everyone could write or write excellent literature, it would become a common thing, then it would not be literature anymore, and if after one writer or at the same time another could compose a relatively interesting piece of literature and give it to the reader, Will talk for a while. Because it is a form of entertainment, once it is enjoyed, it is no longer enjoyable.

And the most surprising thing is that in this world, the unsuccessful people give honors or medals to the successful people of the world in recognition of their success. This is because successful people in this world end their lives with some medals or medals are forever memorable in the history of this world. Unsuccessful people, on the other hand, spend some money in their pockets or give some money to successful people to entertain them for life. So you understand, success in this world means that as much as you can make me laugh, I will give you as many medals.

In this regard, young people are seen to be frustrated in the hope of gaining prestige in the world. Like most young people, they will have a nice home, a nice family and some nice friends.

O young man! Maybe there is a very beautiful, beautiful, dazzling paradise for you, which no eye has ever seen.

O young man! Maybe there is a very handsome, impeccably beautiful family for you, which no one has ever touched.

O young man! Muhammad (sm) and his Sahaba Keram (ra) are the best friends in this world and in the hereafter, they may be waiting for you.

How many people are met, talked about on the way to life; It gets lost in the path of eternity again and that is the rule. We are all bound by this rule. Everybody runs on their way endlessly and on the way we walk unknowingly with some laughter, tears, a little happiness and maybe a lot more sorrow. Standing on the hard ground of life, how many dreams, colorful kites fly in the sky of imagination in the mind. I fly like a colorful bird to the distant horizon, I touch it as if in the mouth of an inexhaustible happiness. Living in a rough, hard setting and getting lost in the sky of imagination is the unspoken destination of life.

Wherever we all go, our destination is shrouded in mist, like a bend in the road. Only the bend of the path can be seen but what is on the other side of the bend remains unknown forever. May that bend of the eternal path never end. Eventually the path ends but the path of the traveler does not end. At the bend of the path that ends, another path begins with an eternal thirst for a very small life. I can't find the meaning of life in this life, even at the end of life. Most of the young people run around with a dissatisfaction in their life all their life, longing for a satisfaction. That desire does not end at the end of life, it remains a desire.

At the end of his life, he saw that nothing was found in this life, he was just running to get it. It is still going on and nothing has been done for the hereafter. Standing right now, you will realize that you are far behind. It's like a race. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

‘They will be given sealed pure drinks. Its seal will be musk. Competitors should compete in this regard. Its mixture will be Tasneem water. It is a fountain, the water of which will be drunk by those who are near (Mutaffifin, 25-26).

At the end of life, when your body will feel a burden to yourself. The mosque is still very close to the house and how far is the mosque? Why doesn't the path end? The path is just beginning, the distance of the path no one knows. The distance of that path is only eternity.

At this stage of life, the happy memories of adolescence and youth are simply called by hand. Those happy memories float like a mirage before the eyes and then disappear into the unknown, never to return to reality. Never come again. How much fun it would be to go back to that adolescence. But it will never happen again. The happy memories filled with the pleasures of adolescence and youth created the hunger of a hungry person in the declining days of life. Everything is around me; Wealth, family, friends and enough time. Yet why today everything seems unsatisfactory as if I am not among them. But where am I?

Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “O mankind! What has caused you to err in your Lord?”

Don't think that you are walking alone in this world. To me, the devil is with you forever, almost everyone can realize it much later. God says,

‘And I said, 'Go down, you will be enemies to one another, and there is for you in the earth a fixed period of time and enjoyment' (Baqarah, 36). Where God says, Satan is my enemy, you are my enemy, he is after you, where are you wasting your time in despair of not getting prestige in this world? Notice this part of the following verse, ‘He drove them out of the comfort they were in’ (Baqarah, 38).

Adam (pbuh) and Eve have been sent out of this world to be happy, but I, you are looking for happiness in this world. How strange!

Note further here, why did Satan become the enemy of Adam (pbuh) or go against him? Did Adam (pbuh) take away the blessing given to Iblis in heaven? Never, but in the great honor bestowed on Iblis, Iblis considered himself the most honored, and to give any honor to anyone from Allah means a great honor. Allah has not taken away the honor of Iblis. Allah is the Most Holy, the Most Honorable. He can create whatever He wills. Until the creation of Adam (pbuh), Iblis was the most revered among God's creations. Allah created Adam (peace be upon him) as the greatest of His creatures and declared him to be the best, which Iblis did not accept. Understand, then, why Allah has asked us to compete for Paradise. Because it is not just a paradise or a dwelling; That is a great honor.

Don't think that you can get whatever you want in this world. Rather, I will get what God wants. You will see how many people around you are living well. You think that you will act like him and become rich like him or get what the world desires. But there was not a single poor or unhappy person in this world. Allah tests each person individually.

So Allah gives to whom He wills some wealth and gives it as He wills. Who said that Allah will give you wealth in the same way? Your test will never be the same. God will give me whatever He wants to test you; Wealth, power or poverty. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “You cannot desire anything other than the will of Allah” (Taqweer, 29).

Therefore, do not rush to Allah in the hope of a mirage-like worldly satisfaction. God will give you peace of mind InshaAllah. God says,

‘O calm mind! Return to your Lord, well-pleased and well-pleasing. Then join My servants and enter My Paradise (Fajr, 26-30).

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

‘Didn’t I widen your chest. I have eased your burden, which was very difficult for you (Inshirah, 1-3). The Prophet (sm) and many of his Sahabi (ra) spent days after days of starvation, half-starvation and how many false accusations they have received from people. But even then their hearts were full of the peace of Paradise.
