The Day of Judgement

摘要

'O our Lord! Open our eyes so that we may see the realities scattered all around us which are a proof of your existence and bestow on us the wisdom to discern the path that leads to you, and protect us from all perceptible and imperceptible evils'. The life hereafter is the true life. It is not visible to anyone who is short-sighted and cannot be understood by anyone who is dull-witted or does not wish to hear about such things. But anyone who really uses his eyes and mind to see and understand truth will realise that life consists of several stages. A man begins his life as an insignificant mass, shrunk within himself in his mother's womb. At that stage, if he were given the power of reasoning, he would take the womb as his ultimate abode, and one which he would only leave under duress. If he were able to speak at that stage he would declare that leaving his mother's womb would mean being dead and buried, in just the same way as we consider death and departure from this world. But it is also a process of birth, a shift from this world to another, which is much more bigger and far removed from our mortal, material life. It is the world of eternal life.
