LOVE, CONTENTMENT, PEACE OR TIME UNAVAILABLE IN THE GLOBAL MARKETS

Capitalist world counts everything like a stock market. So, the price of each everything is counted to buy comforts for mankind. Even people’s concise faith and honor is evaluated to get a thing done. Moreover, some try to buy religion through charity methods for corrupt activities like money laundering. In mega- corruption cases judiciary system is helpless before mafia, influential businessmen and corrupt politician. No one has time to think about the end results which they intentionally or unintentionally avoid to think or worry about in busy life schedules as the old bond of love, share and supporting each other is in crisis. People forget the reality of death calendar on which none has control before the law of nature. Under the over self-control in peak time, they think modern medical facilities are ready to ease their pains but follow a state of chaos when system goes out of order when due to an acute stomachache or toothache, one is helpless to eat at an arranged festival table, looking like a bird in a desert. Human beings are repeatedly warned about the purpose of life, as in V-57:20, “Know that the life of this world is only play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children, as the likeness of vegetation after rain, thereof the growth is pleasing to the tiller; afterwards it dries up and you see it turning yellow; then it becomes straw. But in the Hereafter (there is) a severe torment (for the disbelievers, evil-doers), and (there is) Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the believers, good-doers), whereas the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment.”

Unfortunately, instead of getting self-corrected and reorganizing the life schedule on a normal pattern, human hunger of power and wealth destroys hurdles in hoarding maximum within shortest time as he is going on a long journey without knowing his limits of life and death system set by the Almighty Creator. He never sees the end of forefathers, that people come without a choice but have limited choice in this life-span. It is reminded in “Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator. Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned.”

All values and morality and faith have taken place with money in hand. Unfortunately, at times wealthy emotionally-attached people even like to extend the death phenomenon through artificial method of dear ones, to irritate the body which is reaching its normal end without feelings that they are dragging with jerks an old, broken car as its engine and battery is finished, further deteriorating its functioning. The way human knowledge is progressing for the treatment of diseases, the more complicated diseases are in progress to let them know that Almighty Lord is in control of life-death process. So, one should realize that when one has no control on one’s life, which is preplanned, and everyone has to taste death, then one should think normally that to apply such artificial life extensions to their family member to keep the body breathing, they believe they’re trying to curb pain and death’s time, but they are trying to extend control over the departing senseless soul (RUH), which no one has been able to hold since human creation. In love, one should provide a bond of sincerity through prayers and sponsoring some constant welfare project for the deceased’s peace. Mere having a Muslim name is not a surety of following Islam in spirit till practically adapting its spirit in action as stated in V-2:156,”And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.).Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly! To Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return." They are those on whom are the Salawat (i.e. blessings, etc.) (i.e. who are blessed and will be forgiven) from their Lord, and (they are those who) receive His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided-ones”.

Humans often forget that even at the peak of health, wealth, power etc., they have limits as they are born, given life, sources, honors etc. with fact of death schedule by the Almighty Unique Creator, Provider of this universal system. No doubt science has done miracles to easy life and changed the concept of social and family pattern to such an extent that each one is racing and the internet has made life self-centered through availability of needs through computer facilities. People even just have a short consoling time at death in the graveyard ceremony where body is transported and people leave for their jobs to clock their time cards for earning. There is no more getting together for the ceremonial period of praying, visiting the deceased’s family and offering support to the deprived class. In the present era, morality and religion are considered outdated practices as time is most important but they forget that no one can buy that as time and tide has no calendar. Soon, such people will realize the purpose of life at the death door that they should have done some great deeds for humanity and no one will be given extra time at that stage as it would be too late to reset the life system. Life period is describe as in V-57:20, “Know that the life of this world is only play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children, as the likeness of vegetation after rain, thereof the growth is pleasing to the tiller; afterwards it dries up and you see it turning yellow; then it becomes straw. But in the Hereafter (there is) a severe torment (for the disbelievers, evil-doers), and (there is) Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the believers, good-doers), whereas the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment.                                                                                                  

Some time people who are blinded by science and the internet think they can resolve all life issues. This is foolishness as no one can buy peace because it is not outside in the form of bank balance, mansion, yacht, airplanes, stock market, power, politics etc.; rather, it is the sophisticated feelings of inner self-satisfaction. Otherwise, the constant inner fight keeps the mental faculty busy to meet the dream list, which never stands still till death. It is reminded in V-55:33, “O assembly of jinns and men! If you have power to pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, then pass (them)! But you will never be able to pass them, except with authority (from Allah)!”

Every specialist has his own approach and methods to achieve results. The solution lies in short goals with satisfaction on achievements through self-actualization and self-appreciation. The formula of WWWHWW might be a smile short solution but the tragedy is that the attractive social media and capitalist models scattered around a child have left no space to pass a moderate, simple, natural life with self-contentment.

No one can buy individual self-content which has vanished over the race of wealth, self-projection, and domination to grab others’ sources and life routine for personal self. As people have lost the fear of accountability which can be easily resolved through bribery, power or cheating, stands on moral values and ethics are taken as laughing stocks. The old saying is evident that money makes the life go and even evil can be washed by depositing charity money in corruption, money laundering etc. measures to reduce the pain of sins. People have set methods to get out of guilt feelings as religious leaders are available to give guarantee of paradise depending on the amount of funds and facilities provided to them. Religiously such people making pilgrimage to holy scared places feel this is a solution.

Perhaps due to limited knowledge about religion based on hearsay and not comprehension of revealed books (Quran, Torah, Bible), people make assumptions about this knowledge. Mostly the new generation takes it as an outdated version without realizing that this is the revealed message of the Originator of the universe, having scientific data from the origin to end of the universal system, including the living inhabitants of this land. Man made science is still in progress to explore the hidden dimensions of the Creator based on a disciplined life with morality and social welfare for the mankind. Religion is not against wealth or business in life affairs but controls any extremism through morality. Religion, like science, is based on objective tools to understand humans and His purpose of creating the universe; human has a privileged status on earth with moderate principles to enjoy and to thank the Master for his provisions. It is revealed in V-57:22, 23.

Instead of creating harmony and understanding between the faculties of science and religion in human nature, the socio-cultural system has created a great confrontation in the present day life pattern. There appears a clear bifurcation in science and Divine factual knowledge in making daily life decisions. Unfortunately those flush with wealth and health feel that they are untouched by any power, so they become rigid and stubborn in their stand to such an extent that they consider their self perfect and untouchable, and that people must follow their decision which is the only right one and pay no heed to other wisdom or scientific thoughts. It is hard to correct them and often they have to pay a big price for such actions. History is full of such incidents for the guidance of coming generations.

Even in the present era, globally the dependent countries are at the mercy of the capitalist’s aggressive and extremist role, world peace is at stake. Such nations’ leaders have created a nightmare in world peace as others have no choice to pay the price of such egoistic personalities; they live in a cocoon of imperialism called democratic welfare model for the developing countries. Mostly people forget the facts of life, as reminded in V-31:33-34 “O mankind! Be afraid of your Lord (by keeping your duty to Him and avoiding all evil), and fear a Day when no father can avail aught for his son, nor a son avail aught for his father. Verily, the Promise of Allah is true, let not then this (worldly) present life deceive you, nor let the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allah. Verily, Allah! With Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware (of things).”
