GOD IS THE LANDLORD, We Are The Tenants. The Lease Will Expire Soon!

God Is The Landlord,

We Are The Tenants!

The Lease Will Expire Soon,

Where Would You Relocate?

(M. Javed Naseem)

“To Allah belong all things in the heavens and

on earth. Verily we have directed the People of

the Book before you, and you (O Muslims) to

fear Allah. But if you deny Him, lo, unto Allah

belong all things in the heavens and on earth, and

Allah is free of all wants, worthy of all praise.”

(al-Quran 4:131)

This world is temporary and so is our life. We are on a lease which is going to expire soon and we will be ejected. It’s not that we were not warned about it, the Scriptures are full of such warnings. Our Lord sent Messengers to tell us the Truth – the purpose of our lives in this world; to guide us how to spend our short lives on the planet Earth; and to warn us that if we violate His laws, we’ll be punished.

The Quran says:
“Say: ‘Who can keep you safe by night and by

day from (the Wrath of) (Allah) Most Gracious?’

Yet they turn away from the mention of their Lord.

Or have they gods that can guard them from Us?

They have no power to aid themselves,

nor can they be defended from Us.”

(al-Quran 21:42-43

The Bible says:

“If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast (them) into the fire, and they are burned.” - (John 15:6)

Allah is the Supreme Creator. He created us; created all living things; He created whatever is in the heavens, on earth and in between. Everything belongs to Him and will revert to Him in the End. Man is living the illusion that he has power over other people and can do anything (good or harmful) without accountability. Man behaves as if he is going to live for ever on this earth. He acts like a king – a tyrant – and forgets that he is just a beggar and his existence depends on God’s mercy Who blesses him with food, water, air and good health. The cruelty of man knows no bounds. He is converting this Heaven-like world into an unbearable Hell. He is spreading corruption, injustice, death and destruction. He thinks that he’ll get away with it. And when he is reminded of the Almighty’s warnings or punishment, he arrogantly rejects them. He does not believe that he will be answering question in a Higher Court of Justice.

The Quran says:
“If only the Unbelievers knew (the time) when

they will not be able to ward off the fire from

their faces, nor yet from their backs, and

(when) no help can reach them! Nay, it may

come to them all of a sudden and confound

them. No power will they have then to avert

it, nor will they (then) get respite.”

(al-Quran 21:39-40)

The Bible says:

“And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I (am) the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.” - (Ezekiel 25:17)

Every good thing we enjoy and every bad thing from which we suffer in this world is temporary. Nothing is going to last forever. Both good and bad things happening to us are our tests and trials. Eventually we are going to end up in dust. The wise people understand it and try to prepare for the next life. They promote good and forbid evil. They know that one day in the Higher Court of Justice, they will be questioned and will be paid the wages of their sins. Only the doers of good will succeed.

The Quran says:
“Nay, We gave the good things of this life to these

men and their fathers until the period grew long for

them. See they not that We gradually reduce the

land (in their control) from its outlying borders?

Is it then they who will win?”

(al-Quran 21:44)

“We shall set up scales of justice for the Day of

Judgment, so that not a soul will be dealt with

unjustly in the least, and if there be (no more than)

the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it (to

account): and enough are We to take account.”

(al-Quran 21:47)

The Bible says:

“The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the Day of Judgment to be punished.” - (2-Peter 2:9).

 

Man can be saved from the Fire only through obedience to God – only by unconditional submission or surrender to the Will of God. There is no other way!

The Quran says:

“Nay, whoever submits his whole self to

Allah and is a doer of good, he will get his

reward with his Lord; on such shall be no

fear, nor shall they grieve.”

(al-Quran 2:112)
