This world is one through which we must pass. It is not a world in which to abide forever; it is a path. If we are able to tread this path correctly, as did God’s prophets“Juznā wa hiya khāmidah” and we are able to travel this path safe and sound, then we shall attain salvation. But God forbid, should we slip and stumble along the path of this world, then the same will occur when we cross over the Sirāt in the Hereafter; there too we will stumble and run into problems.
