HEAVENLY CONDUCT

HEAVENLY CONDUCT

Heavenly conduct has repercussions within a person; it brings the verdure of paradise to a person's soul. One might seem to be active, but if one is not spiritually benefiting from one's actions, they are worthless.

Truly virtuous action should spark off divine consciousness in one's mind; it should make one's heart beat with a divine rhythm; it should move one's soul to ecstasy; it should make something tremendous happen within one, to open a window on sublime realities.

What is important as far as the next life is concerned is not what one is doing, but what one is becoming. One may be very busy in life; one may have a long list of achievements to one's credit; but if one is inwardly unaffected, then one's actions are futile. What is the good of the wind if it does not carry oxygen? What is the good of water if it does not quench one's thirst? What is the good of food if it fails to nourish? What is the good of the sun if it does not produce light? If all these things are present without their properties then they might as well not be there at all.

One who is not fit for heaven utters empty words which do not echo within him. He acts, but his actions do not touch his soul. On the contrary, the actions of a godly person are spiritual experiences in themselves; they provide nourishment for his soul. His external actions deeply stir his innermost being.


WHO WILL BE GRANTED PARADISE?


Paradise cannot be gained at a paltry price; it belongs only to those fortunate souls who prove themselves to be God's true servants. Belief does not just mean adding some rituals to a normal worldly life; True belief entails the governance of one's whole life; by Islam, it means devoting oneself heart and soul to the worship of God.

Islam should radically change a person's life, for the believer finds God so close that he enters into communion with Him. Angels become his companions in times of solitude. He keeps his tongue in check, being conscious of his responsibilities to the Lord. He strictly obeys God's commandments. True Islam makes a person live in this world as if he were standing before God and being judged.

The awareness of truth that comes to believers in this world will come to unbelievers only after death when it is too late. When God becomes visible to man, all will believe in Him, but the believer has faith while God is still invisible. True believers anticipate the severity of the Day of Resurrection in this world: others will have that experience only in the next world.
