The present moment is very special, and only Allah knows its true value. We need to understand how important the present really is in building our future. The key is to figure out how we can help shape the future, how we can have a bigger impact, how we can benefit ourselves, our community, and the generations to come, and how we can play a significant role in building a better world! This is extremely important and a valuable aim that everyone should strive for, something no wise person would overlook. So, how do we go about creating that future and making the most meaningful contribution to building it? The first step is to learn about the future – what Allah has promised through his messengers, what kind of future He has described, what qualities it holds, and what is expected to occur. This understanding should guide our entire lives, our current actions, our social and political involvement, our family matters, and our educational pursuits towards that goal. Therefore, ma’rifa plays a crucial role in this endeavor.
