Ever dreamt a dream that was all about things you were going
through? And the fears, joys, tension, hopes, etc. of your real life, all
followed you in that dream?
Our dreams are like a mirror to our real life. They tell us
what awaits us when we wake up.
Similarly, this world is a Dream too. And somehow it is a
clear mirror of what awaits us when we will wake up on the Day of Judgement. So
what is it exactly that indicates what awaits us on the Big day?
Our heart.
Here is what Allah has to say:
“It is He who sent down tranquility into the hearts of the
believers that they would increase in faith along with their [present] faith.
And to Allah belong the soldiers of the heavens and the earth, and ever is
Allah Knowing and Wise.”
Surah Fath - (48:4)
The pious, the blessed ones, the ones loved by Allah are
bestowed upon by golden gift of Faith. And the verse clearly says that those
with Faith have hearts filled with tranquility. This tranquility further
strengthens Faith.
SubhanAllah! Such are the hearts of those who will be among
the successful ones on the Day of Judgement.
To get an idea of what awaits us in the future, let's ask : does my heart feel tranquil? Does it feel tranquil in sadness? Forget sadness, does it even flow with peace when I am doing the happiest of activities such as dining out, shopping or talking to a friend? Is the peace we feel even a shadow of the sort of peace that Allah bestows upon His loved ones?
The answer certainly determines what awaits us in the future.
The rest, I shall leave on the All-knowing and Wise who is also very Merciful.
