SHAFAQNA – Someone may say: To continue life in this world we need to provide for it, and must prepare items and equipment of life in order to continue living, and therefore, it is necessary to try hard for attaining the equipment of life and material things. But I ask you a question: Can the human being say how long he/she will live in this world? For how long must you prepare items in this world? This question creates a dead end and astonishes the human being as what to do? To go after attaining the material things, because they are necessary for living, and he/she may live for years? Or abandon the world, because the human being does not know how long he/she will live in the world, and may die in another moment [1]?
