The Two Roads - Heaven and Hell

the tiller, thereafter it dries up and becomes yellow and then

This means that this world is something which is not to be taken
seriously; one must not sacrifice all in trying to acquire it, as this effort
becomes undone because of death or sickness or any other calamity
that may annul it or absorb any pleasure that one was limited to
deriving. Thus proving that the one who makes his sole objective
acquiring the Duny\, and in doing so forgetting All\h I, is in actual fact
inadvertently putting himself in a rat race, unavoidably leading
nowhere.
When a person realises that he is being deceived, he will at once
resolve to put an end to the deception. But unfortunately the condition
is realisation (being aware) of the deception. If it is not realised, there
can be no solution. The world engulfs an unwary person, with its lies it
tricks him into disobeying All\h’s I commands, and when his
conscience begs and screams for him to stop, its efforts are most
certainly futile as the person does not realize that his misdemeanours
are in actual fact religious offences or sins. The world in fooling a
human simpleton is leading him far away from the mercy of All\h I
whose divine laws are being ignored.
One of the most sinister tricks of this worldly life is the ambiguity
surrounding death, the only guaranteed aspect of an unpredictable
life. A person plans and prepares to become someone or achieve
something but has no knowledge as to whether or not he will achieve
his objective. But death on the other hand is an exact opposite, as a
person neither plans nor prepares for it but knows that it will definitely
come. The world with its lies distracts a person away from what
ultimately will be his destiny.
