Think Before
Choosing Your Path
If you want to be successful in life,
what path should you choose? To be blessed in this world and in the Hereafter, what programme of life should you choose? Have you ever thought about these things? What path and programme have you chosen to be a good and perfect person? Do you look at
others and do whatever they do? Or do you choose
your lifestyle for yourself? Is it not better to
think before you choose life's path?
Perhaps you will say "I will organize my life and
choose my path as I go along." But are you really
aware of all your needs, in this world and the
Hereafter? If not, how can you be sure that you
will choose correctly? Or perhaps you will say "The wise and the educated
can choose my path for me, and I will leave it to
them," But are the wise really aware of
everything we need for a happy life in this world
and the Hereafter? So, who can determine a proper
programme for human perfection and prosperity,
man or Allah.? Of course, you will say Allah, He
has created man and is aware of all the secrets
of human nature, and He alone knows about all the
conditions of man's life in this world and the
Hereafter. For this reason, only Allah can
arrange a proper and complete programme for human
perfection and prosperity. It is this programme
that He has sent to mankind through the medium of
His prophets, and the people who follow the
programme of the prophets live in freedom and
happiness in this world and in the
Hereafter.
