No life without Faith
No life without Faith
Those that are wretched, in the full sense of the word, are those that are unhappy of the treasures of faith. They are always in a state of misery, anger and humiliation.
[Surah Ta-Ha - Ayah 124.]
124. "But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Qur'ân nor acts on its orders, etc.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection."
The only means of purifying the heart, of removing anxieties and worries from it, is to have an implicit belief in Allah, Lord of all that exists. In fact there can be no true meaning to life when one has no faith.
The most opportune course of action that a confirmed atheist can take, if he will not believe, is to take his own life. At least by doing so, he will free himself from the darkness and wretchedness in which he lives. How mean is a life without faith! How eternally accursed is the existence enveloping those who are outside of the boundaries set down by Allah!
[Surah Al-An’am – Ayah 110.]
110. And We shall turn their hearts and their eyes away (from guidance), as they refused to believe therein for the first time, and We shall leave them in their trespass to wander blindly.
Has not the time come when the world should have an unquestioning faith - that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah? After centuries of experience, should not mankind be led to the realization that having faith in a statue is ludicrous, that atheism is absurd, that the Prophets were truthful, and that to Allah alone belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth? All praise is due to Allah and He is capable of all things. In proportion to the level of your faith, strong or weak, hot or cold you will be happy and at peace.
[Surah An-Nahl – Ayah 97.]
97. Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islâmic Monotheism) verily, to him We will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do (i.e. Paradise in the Hereafter).
The good life that is mentioned in this verse refers to having a firm faith in the promise of our Lord, a steady heart that loves Him. People who lead this good life will also have calm nerves when afflicted with hardship, they will be satisfied with everything that befalls them, because it was written for them, because they are pleased with Allah as their Lord, with Islam as their Religion, and with Muhammad
as their Prophet and Messenger . wasalam
