Every facility in the world, including mansions and cars, was within his reach. Able to fulfill most of his desires, he also had the skill to play with words. Like Homoeopath, he was harmless, people respected him and his circle of friends was wide. Despite all this, he wasn’t satisfied with his life. My best friend my cousin Wajid Dar (May Allah grant him complete peace).
One day I asked, “Are you in love with someone? Is there a domestic problem or have you contracted any disease?” Wajid said, “I don’t think there is any purpose to my life anymore.” “No, Wajid!” I said anxiously. “Islam has declared it a sin.” In this regard, Wajid said, “I don’t want to die, I just don’t love life.” I said, “You mean, like, you consider yourself aimless?”
There are certainly hundreds of people around us who think their lives have no purpose. As fast as materialism is swallowing up moral values, so is the number of such people. In a society, where the meanings of wealth and lust are equal, where the politicians cherish only privileges, where religion should also be used as a means to gain interests, its member will full of frustrations.
On the contrary, the religion of nature, Islam, has taught human beings to love one another, has taught Muslims to love life, and has declared the murder of one human being to be the murder of humanity. Almighty Allah has promised to give ten times as much to those who serve humanity in this world.
People in countries like Pakistan, where the majority is deprived of basic amenities, where the situation is deteriorating, have no aims and are frustrated with their lives. The condition of women is the worst, both in cities and in rural and backward areas. No matter what, life has become a burden to them.
According to the amazing statistics of the western world, there are also helpless and troubled youth, children, old people and women but the number is low. The main reason is that the state does a lot for those whom we call ‘Kaafar’. They have made their countries a welfare state. They even have animal rights.
With a little effort, attention and hard work, a journey towards a happy and radiant future can be started. People who think of themselves as useless can redefine their life priorities. Activities can be started with small social activities. Interact with like-minded people, positive lobbying can be done for the development of the neighborhood mosque and for the welfare of the area.
When you look at life in such a way that we have to serve society, know for sure! Roads and resources will be created automatically. When a busy, active and dynamic life is dedicated to a higher purpose, the meaning of life changes. Only those who have young determination in their hearts are eager to create their own world.
Almighty Allah has sent every person to play his role in the world by giving him a meaningful role, but people think of themselves as useless. Love life, enjoy it, serve someone, serve humanity, nature accompanies those who are anxious to create their own world.
