Needle Of Realisation
Today when at the dentist, the practitioner makes a habit of not showing me the needle he’s about to poke in my mouth usually, but today I decided to open my eyes, and boy was I struck with fear.It reminded me of the ayah of the Quran:
“If only the unbelievers knew [about] when they will not be able to ward off the fire from their faces, nor from their backs, and [that] they will not be helped. No, but it will come to them suddenly and confound them. And they will not be able to avert it, nor will they be given respite.”
[al Anbiya, 21: 39-40]
If we knew what the fire of hell was would we still be so unmindful, the mind is fine with what it does not know, but the fear of pain makes it immediately aware.
One part of our emaan is emaan bil ghayb (faith in the unseen), even with such vivid descriptions given by Allah, many choose to remain ignorant.
Will we be of those whose minds will wake up when its too late?
Oh Allah protect us from ignorance of matters in this world and the hereafter, instill in us a constant awareness of our aim in this world, accept from us what little we do in your path, and save us from the punishment of the hereafter. Ameen Ya Rabbal Aalameen.
