Nothing's Everlasting in This World

When there's beginning there is ending too. That's what I learn from some things in this life. I also often read or heard the quote "Nothing is Everlasting". Is it true? Don't ask it to me in order to convince you that it's true or not. Even when you ask all people you can meet, they will give you various answers as their opinion. So, just learn by ourselves things in this life that other people can't show us things as what we want to know. Just learn from what we can take from this life. We have lived in this extraordinary world more than days or months. It's years and It's not a short period. Then, let ask ourselves how many lessons from this life that we really learn during our life? It's not so important how long we live but how mean our life in this temporary world.

If I could say in the wise words, I'll say that LIFE IS THE BEST TEACHER. There are so many things we can learn from everything around us. Including just to learn about what things will last forever in this world? Is it true that nothing is everlasting in this world?  n certain circumstance we might think that what we have will last forever. However by the time, when everything has changed, we would ask ourselves why something has gone. It might not too late to realize that our own experiences or other people's experiences have taught us so many lessons, even lessons that we don't want to learn. Let me tell you (whoever you who read this little words), How could I bring this topic here if  I never have thoughts from my own experiences or others' experiences about this? yeah! It's time to say that I get this thought from what I learn from my own experience in this life and it's completed by what I know from others. 


Let's think first from the existence of human being in this earth. People who live at the moment are different from those who live thousands or hundreds years ago. Where are people who ever lived in this world before us? Where did they go? This is just from the presence of people in this world. There are other living things around people that are same. They're no longer appear in the place where our feet stand now. We might think that people who ever lived in this world ever had same experiences or stages like us nowadays. Some of them might aware that one day they would leave this vanish world while the others was not ever thinking that the time would go down. They who understood that there is everlasting life after this world, would prepare themselves to that eternal life. However, how about those who didn't understand or they who knew that living in this world is not forever, but they didn't prepare well for their future live, in the hereafter.

Do we ever imagine how if we were among those who at the moment they were no longer exist? What would we think and feel? Wanna come back to this world again? Feeling regret for the chances we didn't take to do what we should do? Will we really want to repair our deeds if we were given the second chance to live in this world after our died? Again... Could we imagine if we have lived in the other world... when there's no use any tears nor property we ever belong during live in the world... when in that time only iman (faith), taqwa, and good deeds we do during our life in this world that will be valued in front of our Lord? I'm sure some of us have ever imagined to be there in such moment in the next time, which its coming is no doubt for those who believe that will be there life after this world. That is the hereafter. Then, now, do we really take lesson from it? Does it truly give influence for ourselves to change us be better? 

There are so many people who have died around us which we can see it by our own eyes or we watch it in TV, newspaper or from any sources that arrive to us. For some of us maybe it has been something usual or even doesn't touch our heart and mind whenever we get that issue. We may really be able to feel its effect to our life when it happens on people who close to us or we know them, moreover people whom we love. Sure, it will leave pain for us and only time that can be its healer and take all our pain away. This happens for believer muslims too. They will get sad when there are people close to them have been called to meet Allah first. Although it left pain, for believer muslims who are left behind, when such thing happens, they will think that everything belongs to Allah and will return to Him. Including them, someday someway they also will follow them when the time to leave this world come. 

What has been written above is just one of examples that we can see from around us as prove that life in this world is not last forever. There is everlasting life in the hereafter waiting for us. How is our life in the hereafter is determined by what we do during our life in this world. Allah will give reward or punishment depending on good or bad deeds we ever done during life. Hence, how is our preparation for the next life? It's not enough if we just think of about this without any real action as the implementation from what we know. The most important thing is how we can think about ourselves what we have done so far and take lessons from it for the better life at the moment and in the future. 

Hopefully we can use the chance,that is still given for us to live in this world, to truly worship Him. Let's spend the rest of our life to repair ourselves be better and help others to be better too. The chance to live in this world is just ONCE. Of course we don't wanna be the ones who regret for what they do during their life because they don't obey Allah's rules. All of us must want to get success in hereafter as the last destination that will last forever. Hence, how is the way to reach our goals to be success not only in this world but also in the hereafter?

For us as muslims, Al Qur'an and Al Hadits as guidance for all mankind have been in our hands. Then, the matter is how we do effort to learn that guidance, try to understand it and apply it in our daily life. Rasulullah also have taught us how muslims should live in this world. We just have to learn again from the life of Rasulullah and try to follow him as best as we can. People says "better late than never". However don't wanna to be those who late in reaching what is blessed by Allah. Let's start form today to do what is ordered by Allah and leave what is forbidden by Him, before the time is too late and before the door of forgiveness is closed by Allah.  Let's compete each other in good deeds! Fastabiqul Khairat! 

May Allah always gives His guidance for us to always walk in His path. ameen....
