The only right way

One must be faithful to God's covenant and not violate it (the laws of the Bible and the Qur'an). It is necessary to realize death in this life as clearly as possible and to treat everything very seriously, with fear: from one's deeds, intentions, and actions to the clear realization that there will be a resurrection and that one will be held accountable for everything one does. There is no way to avoid this judgment, just as there is no way to avoid death in this world. It is necessary to understand this, and this understanding comes to a person only when a person experiences some misfortune or a very important responsible event. Emotions, when you realize the hopelessness of the situation, also give that understanding.

But it is necessary to have this understanding even without such important events and misfortunes, it is necessary to realize every day the reality that death is inevitable, that the answer is inevitable, that the Lord God exists, and He is so great that we are infinitely far from realizing His true greatness. We need to take this as seriously as possible.

So many people have left this world in my lifetime: friends, relatives, close acquaintances. Sometimes you remember the bright moments of your life with them: how much emotion there was, how much energy, life, happiness, positivity. It seemed to be forever, endlessly, how good it was, how much goodwill and joy was with them. And now — they are gone. This reality leads us to pay attention to the infinite, to the eternal, to the spiritual.

People live as if they were immortal, with pride, with the desire to humiliate someone, to exalt themselves, to prove, directly or indirectly, their superiority, their importance. Stop for a moment and realize your insignificance in the whole ocean of creation. You were not here, and you will soon disappear, so what importance do you want to prove? Show patience in all things and humility in the face of reality. Our body is a test, it causes us to sin, to be proud, and to satisfy dirty desires. That is why it is written to hate your flesh and to curb temptation. Isn't it enough for you that man is the image of the living God? Why do you need to assert yourself and emphasize your importance?

Billions try to justify what they like, to give it meaning and eternity. Many seek meaning based on their opinions and pride, but we should simply submit to the Word, which is the most authoritative and accessible to everyone.

Billions of people have visited this life and left, quietly closing the door behind them. They lived, they felt, and they loved, just like we do. Every single one of them disappeared. If every person on this planet understood this and clearly comprehended it, would we have time for nonsense, unloved work, people alien in spirit, hatred, envy, longing, disbelief, boredom, weakness, cynicism, contempt, or revenge? Would we waste precious months of our lives fulfilling the dreams of others? Would we be tormented by the fear of what the crowd will think of us?

Why conflict, struggle, and accuse each other of wrongness or unrighteousness? This is what the Qur'an and the Bible forbid.

On the edge

Sometimes it can be very hard, incredibly hard. I have been in those situations myself. You have to remember that many people have much more difficult circumstances in life. Everything is known in comparison. I have experienced extremes in my life where I wanted to end everything. There were intentions to end my life. Thank God I pulled through.

Time has passed since that difficult period in my life, and my life has changed dramatically. If I had shown patience in a difficult moment, time would have led me to a beautiful present without suffering and torment. I have had a family, my beloved daughter Diana was born. Other priorities emerged and positive emotions that are like nothing else.

And not so long ago it seemed to me that everything had collapsed, everything was lost and there was a moment of despair when I thought about how to cut short this great gift called life. I am ashamed of my stupidity and weakness. And I thank God for all that I have, for the fact that He did not give up on me and did not let me commit this, one of the most serious sins, I ask God's forgiveness for my weaknesses and sins.

If you live with faith, God will not let you fall in life. If you ask for something and it does not come, do not be upset; on the contrary, you should realize that man does not know what is good and what is bad for him. If something does not come, but you ask for it and want it very much, it means that you have another reward. Just keep on living and believing, and everything will be fine.

Once I was asleep and I saw a dream with a snake near my house trying to hide in a large puddle of water. I tried to catch it with a pitchfork for a long time and with great effort, and in the end, I caught it.
