<strong>ETERNITY</strong> <strong>HAS</strong> <strong>ALREADY</strong> <strong>BEGUN</strong><br />
ashamed of being proud of all the images he watches on the screen;<br />
that is to say, of his body, his possessions and everything else he<br />
sees in the external world.<br />
A sensate being pondering over these facts would also appreciate<br />
his weakness in the sight of Allah. He can earn esteem and lead<br />
a pleasurable life for all eternity only when he bows to Allah. Only<br />
then can he hope for Allah to show him the images of Paradise for<br />

What Allah expects from His servants is quite explicit: to appreciate<br />
His power and to lead a life observing His limits. Yet, some<br />
people, because of their heedlessness, forget the Almighty Allah or<br />

Day of Judgment, they will be all alone in the Presence of Allah. Nor<br />
will their friends and relatives, who are distant from Allah and the<br />
religious morality, forget the Day of Judgment and Hereafter, be<br />
next to them on that Day. And certainly satan, whom they followed<br />
eagerly, will leave them:<br />
He led me astray from the Reminder after it came to me. Satan always<br />
leaves man in the lurch. (Surat al-Furqan: 29)<br />
You have come to Us all alone just as We created you at first, leaving<br />
behind you everything We bestowed on you. We do not see
