But I think that more than that worldly success we should emphasize the judgement day and the real full triumph of the Divine order of human society on that day, along with the magnificent triumph of the Truth. Something else that I wrongly lose my patience with is the clever arguments, objections and responses of people when they argue against the truth of Islam or the existence of God. In fact, people can deceive themselves and some others besides them with clever argumentation, but they never suppress the truth in any way. In the judgement day all the untruths will be proven untrue and their proponents will be ashamed of advocating them. Allah allows people in this world to speak whatever falsehood they like and hold the real truth in contempt. Allah permits this for a purpose. We must be aware of this purposefulness and not be unhappy with the fact that people often seem to overwhelm the truth through argumentation. This purpose seems to be that Allah wants us to know the value of His Truth by showing us what a bad thing it would be if there existed falsehood, what an unjust, dirty and ruthless universe it would create. This world and its impurities and ruthlessness are here for us to appreciate the complete perfection of the universe and society after the judgement day and for us to appreciate Allah Himself. Don't take me wrong, any friends who read this post! I do not mean that we do not need to strive for a just and God-fearing world order in this life because we will have it in the second creation of the universe anyway. We must strive for the just and Islamic world order here, too, only in order to prove ourselves to God and not to prove the Truth to anyone! For our own spiritual progress, we must show God that we do appreciate Him and His justice and His truth even before we meet Him in the judgement day, by trying to institute as much justice and true belief in this world as we can. However, we must be content with whatever God gives us as a result of our actions. I have spent quite some time writing this post, so I think I will post it on my own blog as well. :D Brother, you are right in emphasizing the coming of the Mahdi and the domination of correctly practiced Islam in the future of the world.
