You know, a lot of times you look for the light at the end of the tunnel.
What's the light at the end of the tunnel?
In Islam, there's emphasis on God and the hereafter because to try to make sense of divine decree and why certain things happen in this world
without the existence of a God or without the existence of a hereafter will always fail you.
So the existence of a God that is all-knowing what we don't know, I know what you don't know, that understands what we don't understand, the existence of a God who is not subject to our constrictions,
And the existence of a hereafter where all things find recourse, where there's divine recourse, allows for this world to be situated within the existence of something greater and not treated in isolation.
So when you're trying to treat an incident of this world in isolation, you're going to fail.
And when you try to treat existence in this world and of this world in isolation, you're also going to fail.
And so the emphasis is the belief in God.
a God that is not limited like you are, and a belief in the hereafter that is not limited like this life.
And so everything continues onwards and there's divine recourse for everything, each and everything.
You know, the prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, mentions that,
On the day of judgment, a person who lived the most difficult of lives will be dipped into paradise one time and will be told, have you ever seen any sadness, any hardship?
Now, when you think about the most difficult life, some of the commentators in Islam, they said that this is perhaps referring to the prophet Job, Ayub, peace be upon him, because Job lived obviously a life of great difficulty.
but that a person who lived a very hard life would be dipped into paradise one time.
And just with a dip be asked, have you ever seen any hardship?
Have you ever seen any misery?
And that person would say, what is sadness?
What is hardship?
What is misery?
