What If …?
As a Muslim, I really believe that everything in this life will be rewarded. Everything will be answered in the hereafter. By knowing that fact, I should become more careful in my life. But, did it really happen?
Our age is also limited in this world. We don't know when we will die. We also don't know when the people we love will leave us.
Most of us know this theory. But, there are also many of us who just know, it doesn’t have any effect on our lives. In fact, instilling this mindset should be able to make us become a better individual. It can make us appreciate life and enjoy moments with our loved ones.
Sometimes I think…
What if my parents die, but I can't make them happy?
What if I had an accident that left me unable to walk, but I have not used my feet to walk towards good things?
What if the person I wronged suddenly dies, but he hasn't forgiven my mistakes?
What if tomorrow I die, but my worship is not enough to make me free from the torment of Hell? What if there are still people who are hurt by my tongue?
These are the things that keep me want to improve myself. Trying to apologize immediately after making a mistake, pay off debt as soon as possible, do good to anyone, and be grateful for whatever happens in my life.
When I’m tired and want to give up, I always think about it. I imagine what if all that really happened? Of course, all that’s left is regret. Therefore, as long as we are still given a chance to live in this world, let’s just do good things.
We only live once in this world, so don’t make our only chance lead us to eternal torment in Hell later.
