To understand the Road, we must know first of all
where we come from and where we're going. The straightest
path will be literally the clearest and the most
direct way with the least danger. The answer to
this has been explained in the Qur'an:
Verily! We all come from God, and to Him we are
returning. 7
This is the journey - the journey of life. It is
our past, present and the future.
What is the past for us? The past is that God began
our history with Adam our forefather, the first
man created. God Almighty then ordered all those
Angels and Spirits (genii) who were present to bow
before Adam. Iblis, who was a devoted spirit (jinn)
- not an angel - refused to bow. So he was expelled
from God’s presence. Iblis then became the
Shaytan (Satan), which literally means "to
be cast out”. So Shaytan became the clear
enemy to man from the first day. In the Garden in
which God then placed Adam and Hawwa' (Eve), Shaytan
tempted man to disobey. This was the first sin.
Then Adam fell from grace because of that incident
and this was to be a lesson for all humanity. This
is our past.
Ever since the fall from the Garden, Satan has been
permanently trying to mislead man. This is our present.
What
is the future? The future is that everyone will
finally be judged. There will be a Day of Account
for everyone, and no one will be absent from that
final day, from Adam, peace be upon him, to the
last man, everyone will be gathered. And then they
will either return to the Jannah (The Garden), or
they will go to Jahannam, to the Fire. Those are
the two ends awaiting after Judgement by God.
