You are alone in life at the end of the day. You will die alone. We are all orphans on the day of judgement.
You are in in the middle of the jungle all alone. You have no cloths against the weather, no protection against the wild animals. You are trying to live day by day, You may not realize it but you have become immune to the harshness of life. You may use entertainments of different sorts to live day by day. This entertainment works like anesthesia, so in the jungle as you get hurt, the anesthesia keeps you from feeling the pain. Your reality is blurred. You live on instinct. You are lost in the jungle, and you have been looking for a way out. In fact, You have become obsessed with the way out. Your feelings of success are like a mi'raj that when you finally work so hard to reach to the happiness that is at the end of jungle, there is nothing, there is no end to the misery of this jungle life. In the day time it is so hot, and at night it is so cold. You are sometimes not even aware of your different body parts it feels so numb. There are wild animals all around you. From time to time you see the bones of those gone before you. From time to time you see those who are also looking for a way out, but you see their bones broken or severe bleeding, and the shock of the jungle life has made them immune to it all. They just carry on day to day. You live between the fantasies of success in finding your way out of the jungle one day and and the broken heartedness of the reality that you are stuck with no chance of real permanent happiness.
Someone comes along gives you news. This messenger says that this jungle is your life, you can not escape it, you can trod on a safer path till the end of the jungle. People react in different ways to this news. Some are just in denial and will continue on their different paths. Some will mock the messenger who gave them such horrible news. Some will also listen to what the messenger has to say. Those who listen to him, he gives them a tool box they can use to live and a GPS system that will guide them in the right direction. The tool box has weapons in it for protection against the wild animals,it has a tent in it for the night, clothes in it for warmth, and some medicine for when you get sick. He also gives you a walkie Talkie for wireless support for any questions you may have.
The walkie talkie is the Dua (prayer) to Allah. The GPS system & medicine is the holy Quran. Salah is the tent that you establish and put up on every stop. The warm cloths are the sunnah of the Prophet. The weapons are the zikr of Allah (remembrance).
