In our everyday life, we often think about what’s coming – our jobs, our families, how we’re doing. We make plans and have dreams for the future. But have you ever really thought about this: the future isn’t finished yet? It’s not something already set in stone, but more like a blank page waiting for our actions and what we intend to do to fill it.
Just like a painter looks at a blank canvas with all sorts of possibilities, we stand at the start of tomorrow with the power to shape it. This idea is also found in Islamic teachings. We are often reminded how important our intentions (Niyyah) and our actions (عمل – ‘amal) are in creating our future, both in this life and the next. Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran:
بِسْمِ ٱللّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
“Indeed, Allah will not change what is in a people until they change what is in themselves.” (Quran 13:11)
This powerful verse shows us that how we are inside – our thoughts and feelings – really affects what happens around us and, in turn, our future.
Think about this: often, without even realizing it, we carry heavy things inside us – anger that hasn’t gone away, constant sadness, worries that won’t leave, too much stress, deep fear, and the bitterness of holding grudges. Islamic wisdom teaches us that if we don’t deal with these strong feelings, they can not only make our minds and spirits feel heavy but also harm our bodies.
Remember the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who talked about the importance of a healthy heart. A heart full of bad feelings can become hard, stopping goodness and peace from fully entering. Just like when our bodies get sick and weak, these negative feelings can slowly hurt our insides and stop us from having a good future.
The good news is, because the future isn’t finished, we have the power to change this. We don’t have to carry these heavy feelings forever. Just like we try to make our souls pure through prayer, fasting, and doing good deeds, we can also work on healing and changing these harmful emotions.
Imagine a future where you don’t have constant worries, where your heart feels light because you’ve forgiven, and your mind is clear from bitter feelings. This isn’t just a dream; it’s something real you can actively create.
