Think Before Choosing Your Path
If you want to be successful in life, what path should you choose?
To be blessed in this world and in the Hereafter, what programme of life should you choose?
Have you ever thought about these things?
What path and programme have you chosen to be a good and perfect person?
Do you look at others and do whatever they do?
Or do you choose your lifestyle for yourself?
Is it not better to think before you choose life's path?
Perhaps you will say "I will organize my life and choose my path as I go along." But are you really aware of all your needs, in this world and the Hereafter?
If not, how can you be sure that you will choose correctly?
Or perhaps you will say "The wise and the educated can choose my path for me, and I will leave it to them,"
But are the wise really aware of everything we need for a happy life in this world and the Hereafter?
So, who can determine a proper programme for human perfection and prosperity, man or Allah?
Of course, you will say Allah, He has created man and is aware of all the secrets of human nature, and He alone knows about all the conditions of man's life in this world and the Hereafter.
For this reason, only Allah can arrange a proper and complete programme for human perfection and prosperity.
It is this programme that He has sent to mankind through the medium of His prophets, and the people who follow the programme of the prophets live in freedom and happiness in this world and in the Hereafter.
