When we see the world, we see it very narrow. People say that we must move with the times and many say that we must go backwards to the ways of the past so that we can progress. But I also say that we must move forward and go forward at a tremendous speed; look forward and go full forward. Most people who look forward only look till Mars and other planets, and then one country will try to beat another country to see who can reach there first, and whose rocket can go faster etc. We must be so advanced and ahead that we must transcend the earth, Jupiter and Mars and go further than what the eyes can see, transcend every human barrier and go into Jannah. Why are you running after the small marbles of Jupiter and Mars. We want the real stuff. When a small child plays around with a toy cigarette he thinks to himself that when are they going to give me the real thing. So Allah Ta‘ala is telling us to go for the real thing. The things of this world are just things that catch the eye. One Sahaabi was asked, “How do you find yourself?” He replied, “I see Jannah on one side and Jahannum on the other, and I can see the people of Jannah enjoying themselves and how the people of Jahannum are shouting out at each another.” Thus, the Quraan must be so real to us that these things are as if real before us. When we read durood then we should see the rewards before us. There must be some reason for Allah Ta‘ala saying that this dunya is nothing more than a pastime. You enjoyed the best of food etc. but by the morning what is the state of it? Do you want to go anywhere near? Hence, Allah Ta‘ala is showing us that this is the end of the world. Therefore, don’t look with such a narrow vision. Let your vision be broad and don’t limit it to this world; go beyond and see what Allah and His Rasool have shown.
