understand the life of the world

The word "world" means low and temporary. Meaning of life in the world that life is low and temporary. God illustrates the life of the world such as rain water that fertilize the plants until a certain time and finally the plants are dry.

Allah SWT said, "The similitude of worldly life is like rain water which We send down from the sky, and the plants grow in the fertile earth, because it, among them, who have eaten by humans and cattle. And when the earth was perfect beauty , and also wearing adornment, and the owners think that they certainly take it, suddenly came to her doom We in the evening or afternoon, and made it like plants that have been destroyed, as it were, had never grow yesterday. Thus do We explain the signs of Our to the people who think. " (QS 10: 24).

Life of this world is just a game or an amusement. While the life of the Hereafter are indeed, better and more lasting (QS 6: 32). Thus, the Muslim should not be deceived by the life of the world that is temporary. He should consider the interests of the Hereafter in each activity. He said,''And what is given to you, then it is worldly enjoyment and adornment; while that which is with Allah is better and more lasting. So, don't you understand? So, if we promised him that a promise of good (Paradise) and he does, with the same people that we gave him worldly pleasure, and he was on the Day of Resurrection of the tow (in hell)?''( QS 28: 60-61).

The reality remains that many people deceived by the life of the world so that they forget the Hereafter is eternal with Allah. People like this will get the punishment from God. He said,''and said (to them), 'This day We forget you as you have forgotten the meeting (with) this day and place of return is the Fire, and you never get the helper. That is, because you made the revelations as God-teasing fun and you've tricked by the life of the world, then this day does not exclude them from hell and they are not given the opportunity to repent. '''(QS 45: 34 -35).

Allah ordered Muslims keep away people who just love the world. For those that do not follow his instructions and be lost in a life. He said,''So (O Muhammad) of those who turn away from Our desire and does not except the world. That far-away their knowledge. Your Lord, He is the most know who strayed from His way and He also knows that most who receive guidance.''(QS 53: 29-30).

fact of life in the world

As a Muslim who believes in Allah SWT and the end of the day, our views on life in this world is nothing but a drop in the moment. Because there is still a long way to the front of human children. This is a natural world that is located on the second sequence in the human journey, after previously living in a natural
womb, for about 9 months. World where we live now, at least 100 years old. But size is not standard, because whenever and wherever Allah SWT can pick us to the other.

People can only breathe the air one time in the world, and Allah SWT directly called. There is also the old, but not a bit young, healthy, have a good career, rich, respected, and are victorious, but the provisions of Allah SWT can not be denied by any human. Whenever God wanted, the life we can pull in by Allah SWT, because with or without a particular reason. All kinds of resources and efforts that we do, will not be able to reject what God has set.

After passing through this world of nature, all men will experience many other worlds. There are two options, get enjoyment or misery. But it must now select this, not when we are in the other later. For the natural world are now set by God to be determines the place when we move to the other.

In the natural world, God only ask us to reveal the recognition that there is no god except Allah and that Prophet Muhammad SAW is the messenger of Allah SWT. Then we live with the religious rules that have been defined Allah SWT. All information about the procedure for the desired life of him, already presented with very clear through the Qur'an and Hadith. There is no reason to quibble that someone in this world does not get any information about the religion.

When someone in the world is running what God set, then when go to the other later, he will be happy. Both physical and spiritual happiness. Conversely, if the natural world as a place to play, forgetting what God commanded, in violation of what has been forbidden by Allah SWT, ignore all the rules and His
so then go to the other, he must be ready to live out spiritual birth. In the tomb will be tormented with a painful punishment. In "the mahsyar" will be made lost in fear. At the end of time the court will be a heavy punishment, and then finally entered into
in flaming fire in the hell is painful.

How happy that someone can see a map of the human child in this way. Yet, the period of his life in the natural world is very relative, can also be long or briefly. While the natures that we will face later so big and lasting.
Unfortunately the form of a golden opportunity when the time provided in the natural world we wasted. Better a little hard, patient and serious in the natural world that is only temporary, lasting from the tortured in the other.

We will soon move all natural, fast or slow. Make sure that when we move to the other, we take stock of faith and charity either. If not, we will be losers.

"By the time, surely man is in loss. Unless they
who believe and do good, sharing the truth with the advice and counsel each other with patience" (QS Al-'Ashr: 1-4)
