What is the Benefit of this Life (1)?
As-salaam alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakutuhu
إن الحمد لله نحمده و نستعينه و نتوب إليه أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم
In Shaa Allah we will be taking ourselves through a series titled ;
"What is the Benefit of this Life (1)?"
Sometimes, I wonder why we hold this world so dearly to our hearts that we forget that it is of no value or so we have to know. Lately, I’ve been thinking, what happens after we get rich? You know after we get married, after giving birth, after raising a child, after getting a job, and stuff? I am as confused as you are right now too.
Ever wondered how foolish it is for man to be ignorant about the secret of his existence, his purpose in life and what will be his outcome after death? In many thought process, people have expressed the questions in these words: from where? to where? why?. The answers aren't too far away anyways for the thoughtful...
Texts have it said the Qur'an says:
منها خلقنا كم و فيها نعيدكم ومنها نخرجكم تارة أخرى...
Meaning:
We created them from it (earth), to it is their (humans) end, into it is their return forever.
Look at how petty the summary of human existence is.
In the poem of an Arab poet, Elya Abu Madhi expressing his uncertainty about the purpose of life titled At-Talaasim (puzzles), he says:
I came not knowing from where, but I came.
And I saw a pathway in front of me, so I walked.
And I will remain walking, whether I want this or not.
How did I come? How did I see my pathway?
I do not know!
Am I new or am I old in this existence?
Am I free and unrestrained, or do I walk in chains?
Do I lead myself in my life, or am I being led?
I wish I know, but…
I do not know!
And my path, oh what is my path? Is it long or is it short?
Am I ascending in it, or am I going down and sinking?
Am I the one who is walking on the road,
or is it the road that is moving?
Or are we both standing, but it is the time that is running?
I do not know!
Before I became a full human, do you see
if I were nothing, impossible? Or do you see that I was something?
Is there an answer to this puzzle, or will it remain eternal?
I do not know ... and why do I not know??
I do not know!
And so it must be really depressing for the atheists and agnostics not enjoying the tranquility of the believers; living in confusion and doubt of the existence of a creator or the guidance through messengers and prophets.
These set of people argue that we only exist by mere chance in this world and there isn't any consequence or concepts like destiny and afterlife.
In tackling this, I would like to share with us an analogy of the watch in the desert.
"How about finding a Watch in the Sand?"
“Suppose one finds a watch in the middle of a desert. What would he think? Would he think that someone dropped the watch? Or would you conclude that the watch came by itself? Of course no sane person would say that the watch just happened to emerge from the sand- with all the intricate and complex working part, right?
The watch must definitely have a manufacturer. And then to add, the watch tells time accurately, then the manufacturer must have to be intelligent.
Now consider what else tells time; sunrise and sunset - their timings are so strictly regulated that astrologers and scientists can publish in before the sunrise and sunset times. Who then regulates the timings of sunrise and sunset?
In shaa Allah we will stop here today, it is a rhetorical question for us all to ponder on.....
