Ideal Word
An ideal world cannot exist in the present world—the place for an ideal world to come into existence is the Hereafter. In this world, people can only be made aware of God’s scheme and be called to lead a Hereafter-oriented life.
Man is an idealist by birth. Every man is seeking an ideal world. However, it is not possible to build an ideal world on earth. In this world, man can only find an ideal ideology that he can follow and not an ideal world.
The only place an ideal world can come into existence is the Hereafter. The present world has been created under the exigencies of the test. That is why it is beset with many limitations. These limitations are from the Creator Himself, and it is impossible to bring an ideal world into existence in their presence. At the same time, everyone has been granted complete freedom for trial. If good people enjoy the freedom of action here, bad people are allowed to do whatever they want. So, it would happen again and again that good people make a plan, and bad people destroy that plan by creating mischief.
The concept of the test is the key to understanding the present world. Unfortunately, philosophers and thinkers failed to find this key. Therefore, they also could not understand the world. They wanted to make the present world a world of their choice. However, in this “imperfect world”, creating a “perfect world” was not possible. Therefore, they gained nothing except mental confusion.
The fact is that an ideal world cannot exist in the present world—the place for an ideal world to come into existence is the Hereafter. Therefore, what is possible here is only to make people aware of God’s scheme and call them to lead a life oriented towards the Hereafter. As a result, if many human beings lead a God-fearing life, their gathering will undoubtedly lead to a better society.
However, there is no guarantee that this society will be ideal. Also, there is no guarantee that it will last permanently. God has placed all these things in the Hereafter, and we will never be able to find what God has kept in the next world in today’s world.
