Know your True God!

When people worship the creations or objects other than the Real Creator,the sense of seriousness towards God is lost in them and thus they dare to commit sins fearlessly. Apart from that, the human race gets divided into sects and castes formed around the different deities taken by them.

If such people suddenly face unbearable calamities they ignore those false gods and turn to the real true God.

God Almighty exposes the hypocrisy of such people in the Quran by quoting an example of men traveling at sea:

10:22. It is He who enables you to travel on land and sea until, when you are in ships and they sail with them by a good wind and they rejoice therein, there comes a storm wind and the waves come upon them from everywhere and they assume that they are surrounded, supplicating Allah , sincere to Him in religion, "If You should save us from this, we will surely be among the thankful." 

(Allah means ‘the only God worthy of worship’)

When such a life-threatening situation arises, people will forget all the deities they worshiped every day. They do not try to bring to mind the images, idols or tombs (as in Dargahs) which they worshiped on the shore and plead, 'Save us from this danger'. Instead, they realize that only the true God can save them. They call on the Creator with a pure heart. The above verse says that they sincerely realizes that only He can answer the prayers and that He is the only Lord worthy of worship both on land and sea.

Thanklessness of people!

But if the Lord accepts their plea and saves them, they forget to be thankful to Him after reaching the shore. Again they  go back to  worship their false gods. God Almighty points out this trend:

17:67 Then do you feel secure that [instead] He will not cause a part of the land to swallow you or send against you a storm of stones? Then you would not find for yourselves an advocate. 

17:68 Or do you feel secure that He will not send you back into the sea another time and send upon you a hurricane of wind and drown you for what you denied? Then you would not find for yourselves against Us an avenger. 

17:69 Or do you feel secure that He will not send you back into the sea another time and send upon you a hurricane of wind and drown you for what you denied? Then you would not find for yourselves against Us an avenger. 

#Day_of_Judgment!

So for whatever may the reason, we must not forget our true reality. We should worship only the One Who has created us and sustains us. Unto Him we have to return and answer for our deeds on earth. Let us not forget that death is not an end but a beginning of the eternal life.

One God! One Mankind! One faith!

Offenders, attention please!

Special attention to the fraudsters and the government officials who support them.

This is the warning from Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), the last and final Messenger of God - that is, the Messenger of God sent for the people living today. He had warned the officers of his time like this:

"It would be fraudulent if we hired any of you as an officer for a task and he hid a needle or something smaller than that from us (without accounting), He will come with that object on the Day of Resurrection!" (book: Muslim)

The Lord who created you says in the Holy Quran:

"And do not consume one another's wealth unjustly or send it [in bribery] to the rulers in order that [they might aid] you [to] consume a portion of the wealth of the people in sin, while you know [it is unlawful]". (Quran 2:188)

The Prophet (pbuh) said, "On the Day of Resurrection a flag will be hoisted for the swindler and it will be said, 'This is the swindling of so and so man, son of so and so man"   (Book: Bukhari)

#Day_of_Judgment

The cheaters/ swindlers may find thousands of loop holes to escape from the clutches of the law, here in this world. Likewise, people may even die without being punished for their  sins and offence such as murder, robbery, adultery, fornication, slander etc commited by them.

But they cannot escape from the clutches of the God Almighty and the punishment specified by for each offence. This is not a false threat, but you will realise the truthfulness of it if you ponder over the following:

Beware of your parts of body that betray you

Today we know that CCTV cameras fitted for surveillance everywhere record the events that take place in their view. Likewise the eyes of each of us are naturally recording our actions. Not only that, but the Quran says that our ears and skin record the same and that they will testify against man in the Hereafter:

"And [mention, O Muhammad], the Day when the enemies of Allah will be gathered to the Fire while they are [driven] assembled in rows, Until, when they reach it, their hearing and their eyes and their skins will testify against them of what they used to do. (Qur'an: 41:19,20)

(Allah means "The Almighty God worthy of worship")

Although there are many other ways which record our actions, we know that these alone will suffice to understand the matter.
