Life Passes Like a Moment: Guidance, Trial, and Patience
Think back to the very first memory you have of your life—perhaps when you were five years old. Now, return to the present. How many years have passed? Some of you will say 20, some 50…
"We know that we need to wake up early in the mornings because there is a reason behind it: for our families, for our jobs, to chase after wealth, or for any purpose, we all work like slaves to something. However, rather than being slaves to this world, knowing that one day we will vanish, I prefer to be a servant of the Creator, for we came from Him,and to Him we shall return."says a dear person.
So, who are we? Why were we created? When will slavery end?
Slavery will end when we discover our purpose of creation and serve only the true Creator. Then, our souls will be liberated, and we will find ourselves...
How will it happen?
Believe me, someone, initially Satan and those knowingly or unknowingly aligned with him, established this unjust system. They killed prophets, then slandered them, and later altered sacred scriptures. Then, they built a system for their own wealth, fame, and egos...
Of course, we will work, but we will work with rights like human beings. Of course, we will enjoy our families and social circles. However, if we do this in accordance with Divine rules, we will live what needs to be lived in the most beautiful way, with joy. Guided by the Divine, we will explore the deeper meanings of life within it, and we will have a more positive impact on humanity. Along this path, by embracing a lifestyle based on Divine values such as love, tolerance, and justice, we will contribute to a more meaningful life for ourselves and for humanity both on an individual and societal level. This will open the doors to a brighter future. As we progress on this path, by reading the Quran, the unaltered book, and leaving aside biases and altered human writings, we will take the first step on this journey. Give it a try, and you will see how the Creator communicates with you and guides you, opening a wonderful gate to paradise, both in our world and after death. Now, do you understand why Muslims do not fear death?
"And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play." (21:16)

One day, a person who had never seen the Prophet (ﷺ) entered a gathering and started looking for him. His eyes searched the room, but unable to immediately recognize him among the people, he curiously asked:
"He is not one of us who sleeps full while his neighbor is hungry."
