Salaam,
My question to all the believers of ONE True God, The Ultimate, The King of the kings, The Eternal, The One Who Always has Been and Always Will Be, is: "knowing our start and our end is the same - to our Creator, then why do we wish to have a long life in this world?". If we truly love our Creator, then we would impatiently desire to be re-united with our Creator. And while we are here in this life, we would not stop sharing all the blessings that we have received and helping others to receive them as well.
How often, when you buy a new car, house or get a new job, you can't hold it inside telling everyone about it ? Isn't that a blessing from our Creator ?
All books of reference, and scriptures aside, pray to The One, The Highest your brain can comprehend. To those who say that why can't we see God with our 5 senses, I urge them to think again... think how we cannot see infrared, microwaves etc. and that we only have found ways to "translate" those other spectrum in our limited 5 senses, and yet we have achieved so much. So, think again, do you really think that God, The Ultimate, would make sense to us in our 5 senses? It's the same as trying to comprehend or see the entire HD or 4k or 8k picture from just 5 pixels. Can you? Think.
