BEAUTIFIED LIFE

Life has so many colors. And we all go through various colors in our lifetime. We see a God fearing, good, honest, generous & humble man going through lots of pain & suffering in his life and whereas a person, who does not believe in God, dishonest, cruel, proud have a very beautiful life.

Allah (SWT)says in Quran that this world is beautiful to those who reject faith
( Al- Quran 2:212). The meaning of life and its ending is different for a kafir and a momin. For a kafir this world is beautified but for a mumin is not his/her life also beautified ? Like :

1. When Allah (SWT)gives peace into our heart
(Al-Quran 48:18)

2. When relief comes after hardship
(Al Quran Sura no. 94)

3. When we are in company with pious & blessed men.

4. The peace that we feel after doing a good deed.

5. When Allah (SWT) answers our prayer.

This is a matter of priority and sense of proportion. Yes. A momin's life of this world is also beautiful if it is lived giving priority always to al-Akhirah over ad- dunya. There is beauty and peace and serenity in living in this world according to the commandments of Allah(SWT) and His Messenger(SAW).
