SPIRIT OF ISLAM JULY 2O18

43 Spirit of Islam Issue 67 July 2018 This fact tells us that there must certainly be an answer to this dilemma. Human desires and ambitions ought to be fulfilled, just as is the case with all other creatures. This indicates that there is a world that will come after this present one, a world where human beings will find complete fulfilment of their wishes and hopes. There is another important aspect of this issue—and that is, the desire for justice is inherent in, or intrinsic to, human nature. By nature, human beings want to be treated justly. They desire justice in this world. They want good people to be fully rewarded for their goodness and evil doers to be suitably punished. This is a basic demand of human nature. This demand, too, requires that there should be another world after this one, where justice finally prevails, because it is not possible in this world. If you keep this in mind, the concept of the Hereafter will become absolutely real and clear to you. With belief in the Hereafter you get a complete answer to every question. Everything falls into place. o
