What is a Mirage..?

What is a Mirage..?

A mirage is strange phenomenon of illusion. A lonely traveller in a desert, nearly dying of thirst, sees a broad sheet of water. But in reality there is no water there, it is a trick of his vision – a mirage. He keeps on going in that direction, on and on, but finds nothing at all and finally dies in extreme physical and mental pain.

The existence of God is an absolute reality while His rejection on the other hand, is not a reality in itself but a denial of this absolute reality – a mirage.

Those who deny this fact, rebel against Him, and refuse to see His Signs, will be overwhelmed in utter darkness as in the depths of an Ocean – wave upon wave, one above another, and on top of that dense dark clouds!

The true source of Light in the world of Reality is Allah, and all those who cut themselves off from this light are in utter darkness indeed, for it is the rejection of the only true light, and not mere darkness.

All their deeds are like a man deluded by a mirage. The truth which they rejected was always there with them, but the mirage which they accepted will lead to their destruction and then they will not have a chance to

Think again…

As for those who disbelieve, their deeds are like a mirage in a desert. The thirsty one thinks it to be water, until he comes up to it, he finds it to be nothing; but he finds Allah (ever) with him, Who will pay him his due account (Hell). And Allah is swift in taking account. Or (the state of a disbeliever) is like the darkness in a vast deep ocean, overwhelmed with waves topped by waves, topped by dark clouds, (layers of) darkness upon darkness: if a man stretches out his hand, he can hardly see it! For any to whom Allah has not appointed light, for him there is no light! (Al-Qur’an Sura.24 Ayat.39-40)
