I have been finding treasures in places I did not want to search. I have been hearing wisdom from tongues I did not want to listen. I have been finding beauty where I did not want to look. And I have learned so much from journeys I did not want to take. Forgive me, O Lord of Majesty and Generosity; for I have been closing my ears and eyes for too long. I have learned that miracles are only called miracles because they are often witnessed by only those who can can see through all of life's illusions. I am ready to see what really exists on other side, to learn what is actually going on behind the scenes in this world of good vs evil and what lies beyond the veil.

"She had some belief somewhere, never defined... The outward form was a matter of indifference to her. Yet she had some fundamental religion. It was as if she worshipped God as a mystery, never seeking in the least to define what he was.

And inside her, the subtle sense of the Great Absolute wherein she had her being was very strong... Through it all she felt the great Separator who held life in His hands, gleaming, imminent, terrible, the Great Mystery, immediate beyond all telling.

She shone and gleamed to the Mystery, whom she knew through all her senses, she glanced with strange, mystic superstitions that never found expression in English. But so she lived, within a potent, sensuous belief that included her family and contained her destiny."

-- D.H. Lawrence, The Rainbow (1915)

So, Where Are You Going?

We all have vision. We all strive towards an image or a goal. But it's not that someone has vision or no vision that makes the difference, the difference lies in how far it can reach. Your vision's reach could be this weekend, and that's about as far as it could get. It can be having a stable job and a happy family. It could be going as far being an old man looking at your grandchildren from a rocking chair. Allah Almighty doesn't criticize these visions in themselves, but He criticizes not seeing past them. In fact, Allah Almighty rhetorically asks us in Surah Al-Takwir this question by the end of the Surah's discourse:

A very profound question if we were to honestly ask ourselves. Almighty Allah is calling us to look ahead and reflect whether our perceived direction is really the only direction we are actually treading towards.

The irony here is that this is Surah Al-Takwir. The Surah that begins with the image of the sun losing its light, and stars falling out of place, and oceans flaring up. These are the catastrophic images before the commencement of the Day of Judgement. The universe collapses, and another one rises for Judgement. In essence, **Allah answered the question already: You are coming to Me**.

*That’s* where we are actually going. We look at our path, and we see perhaps we weren’t looking clearly all along. *Where did I think I was going?* Allah Almighty is essentially asking, why are you going around in circles, why don't you look at what's staring at you from far away.

A job, a family, old age and retirement aren’t just what’s awaiting us. *Allah is awaiting us*. And so, the questions implies preparation. Regardless of what we choose to perceive as our direction, straight or crooked, the destination is the same for each one of us. The destination of our Judgement is straight ahead.

فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ

So where are you going?

It's important to note that despite how scary this post might come off. We shouldn't be. Allah Almighty mentions in other places how people hope to meet Allah and the last day. If we are attempting to do the best we can, it's completely fine to hope for this event, it's not wrong. After all, this is potentially the day you meet your loved ones. The day our sadness and turmoil leave us forever. The day we finally meet Almighty Allah. So, why would we want to get distracted and think we're going elsewhere?
