Islamic Article |- Darkness vs. Light

Once I had to go to a cityfor a few days. My plane landed there during
the late night hours. A brother gave me a ride to the place where I
was going to stay. This was the first time I visited this town and was
curious to see what it looked like. However, it was dark at night and
I wasn't able to see many things.
The next day, I went out with the brother and he happened to take the
same road as the previous night. But sinceit was day time, I was able
to see the river, hills, and many other landscapes that was not
properly visible the previous night.
It came to my mind that this is similar to what wego through in our
lives. Allah Ta'ala as told us through the Quran and Prophet Muhammad
(saw) about the many unseen things that are awaiting us in the
hereafter. While we are in this world, it's just likewe are in
darkness. We are not able to see all these things. But as soonas we
die and close our eyes, everything will open up to us like the day
time and we will seewhatever was hidden.
