Salvation for Whom

Salvation in the Hereafter is for those who have made themselves deserving of salvation in the life before death by their righteous actions.

What is the greatest issue that should concern a person? It is to attain to salvation in the life to come after death and to have a share in God’s mercy for all eternity.

Everyone who is born into this present world has to enter into another world after death. In the present world, a person has all kinds of opportunities to shine while being tested. In the next world, what he will receive will be by way of rewards for his actions. In the world before death he received everything, whether or not he deserved it. But in the world after death, this will no longer be the case. He will receive nothing without having deserved it. At that time, the sole criterion for receiving anything will be merit.

In the next world, only those who are held to be deserving will be showered with blessings of all kinds, whereas those who are lacking in merit, will have nothing.

This is every human being’s greatest problem. Everyone ought to focus totally on not being held undeserving in the next life so that he may not be one of those who fail to achieve salvation. Everyone must devote the utmost effort and give his full attention to how he conducts himself in this present world, so that he may not be held to be lacking in merit in the next stage of life, but rather be the worthy recipient of blessings and salvation.

The next world is a perfect and eternal world, in which there will be all kinds of pleasure and happiness. It is this world to which a person should aspire and it is this world for which he should expend all his energy. It is for this world, full of blessing, that an individual should prove his mettle before rather than after death. The world of today is the world of action: the next world is a world of reaping the rewards for one’s actions.

Salvation in the Hereafter is for those who have made themselves deserving of salvation in the life before death.
