Undoubtedly, Allah Almighty has established the system of this universe with both sin and worship. This is why some people are engaged in worship while others, influenced by satanic whispers, fall into sins. But Allah Almighty sent down heavenly books and sent prophets (peace be upon them) to guide the system of this universe and to guide mankind. They came to this world and preached the true religion of Allah Almighty and conveyed it to the nations.
When a person forgets his limits and position, whether he is a Muslim or a non-Muslim, he is not aware of the purpose for which the world was created, why humans were created, and why other things like plants, animals, etc., were created with them. This is the point where corruption begins in a person, whether that corruption is socially or religiously.
In particular, we must remember that we are Muslims, we are the people of the Quran, and it is not the characteristic of the people of the Quran to be involved in lying, hypocrisy, and immorality. As the Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him) gave us this message, and the Holy Quran has also given the same message.
The quality of a believer is that he is more engaged in preparing for the Hereafter than for the world.
Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran:
وَمَا هَٰذِهِ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا لَهْوٌ وَلَعِبٌ ۚ وَإِنَّ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ لَهِيَ الْحَيَوَانُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ
(Al-Ankabut: 64)
"And this worldly life is nothing but play and amusement, and indeed, the home of the Hereafter - that is the [eternal] life, if only they knew."
There is no doubt and no two opinions that the Hereafter is better than the world for a believer, and Paradise is better than Hell. Every believer wants to prepare for the Hereafter, prepare for the grave, prepare for death before death, and prepare for Paradise. And why not? Because every believer believes that the Hereafter is true, death will come, and Paradise and Hell are also true.
Just as Allah Almighty created sins, He also created acts of worship. Just as He created Paradise, He also created Hell. And just as Allah Almighty created the world, which is perishable, He also created the Hereafter, which is everlasting.
So it is necessary for us to prepare for the Hereafter, abandon all sins and worship only one Allah, take care of glorifications and seeking forgiveness, seek forgiveness from Allah Almighty abundantly, think more about the Hereafter than the world, and try to live a peaceful life.
Therefore, for a peaceful and contented life, it is necessary that we individually and collectively regret our past shortcomings, ask forgiveness from Allah Almighty, immediately abandon disobedience, and correct our deeds in the future.
May Allah grant us the ability to act, Amen, O Lord of the Worlds.
