Being a Muslim, we all believe that Allah is a mighty power, who is our creator and sustainer. Now one should ask him or her.

And indeed we have put forth every kind of example in this Qur'ân, for mankind. But, man is ever more quarrelsome than anything. (18:54)

Individual's spend all there efforts during there lifetime in order to survive, but as it is well known that everyone is here as a transit in order to pass this world, for example, if one is traveling on a journey and he or she needs to change their flight from any destination point, his main goal would be to reach his destination safe and sound. Allah (The Al-mighty) who is the most merciful and gracious is providing us with all forms of examples in order to show us a picture of our future. Now one should examine his or herself and ask are we providing enough time and effort in order to achieve understandings of these examples provided by our creator? For what reason now are we being provided with these examples? The reason behind this is because; Allah is the owner and creator of our body and soul. While mankind is on transit in this world, our Lord has provided us with so many bounties, such as Vegetation, Fresh Water, ect. Our Lord does not want mankind's final destination to be hell. Just like an individual would build his dream home, or dream car, no one is willing to destroy it, or have it be destroyed by another individual.

For understanding everything related to our worldly affairs we try to understand every single detail, even when we spend our money to buy any small thing we want to think twice before spending our dollar. Details which individual's go so far to achieve, but when it comes to Allah, who is the provider for everything, we do not take the time to understand or realize that once we leave this world, our final destination is to Allah. We should really take this seriously, and realize that there will be no returning to this world. 

Every soul shall taste death, and will pay the price for whatever sins he or she committed in this world, if we do not ask forgiveness from Allah and choose the straight path, while we are alive. 

And nothing prevents men from believing, now when the guidance (the Qur'ân) has come to them, and from asking Forgiveness of their Lord, except that the ways of the ancients be repeated with them (i.e. their destruction decreed by Allâh), or the torment be brought to them face to face? (18:55)

Allah (The Al-mighty) explains to humanity in the ayah above, that what is stopping Muslims from practicing Islam, once the guidance (Qur'an) has been received already, one should always ask from his Lord forgiveness, who is the provider of our brain, eyes, hearing, and many other facilities within the human body. However, mankind is trapped in his or her culture or customs, and everyone is worrying about what will society say if one starts to obey Allah's laws ordained for mankind. 

Once different punishments take place in our lifetimes, such as problems related to financial, family life, worries, tensions, or disease, then one realizes their difficulty and starts asking help from Allah. 

The question one could ask his or herself is, why not practice Islam, when Allah is keeping us in a prosperous condition? Why after one is involved in troubles or difficulties?

And We send not the Messengers except as giver of glad tidings and warners. But those who disbelieve, dispute with false argument, in order to refute the truth thereby. And they treat My Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and that with which they are warned, as jest and mockery! (18:56)

From the ayah mentioned above one could ask himself, how is it possible that a Muslim could make fun of the commands of Allah and his prophet?

Examine yourself, how much does one obey the laws of Allah during his or her lifetime. How many examples of the prophet are applied in a individual's lifestyle? Who are we, are we Muslim? In day and night we challenge ourselves in order to keep up with society, which is taking mankind towards the hellfire as a final destination. We, as Muslims, are destroying Islam for not obeying Allah and His Prophet. We, as Muslims, are trying to move the truth in order not to implement the commands of Allah, and our Prophet (SAW), and we as Muslims, listen to the warnings in the Quran, but do not fear it, and it is taken as a joke. 

And who does more wrong than he who is reminded of the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of his Lord, but turns away from them forgetting what (deeds) his hands have sent forth. Truly, We have set veils over their hearts lest they should understand this (the Qur'ân), and in their ears, deafness. And if you (O Muhammad S.A.W.) call them to guidance, even then they will never be guided. (18:57)

Which individual would be considered a loser? When Allah reminds him, then he turns his face and he or she forgets the sins committed in the past, but the sins committed are already recorded. Allah has a power to record each and every second of an individual's life, which is mentioned in Surah Az-Zalzalah:

So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it.

And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant), shall see it.

From the ayah mentioned above, what is learned that each and every movement during an individual's lifetime is fully recorded. Also Allah is showing in Surah Kahf (#57), as mentioned above, because of one's ignorance or carelessness, a veil is covered over that individual, in order that he or she may not understand the message in the Quran. Most of the time one would complain that understanding the Quran is to hard, and that in order to understand this Quran a teacher is required. Why? Even ten minutes are not provided for a single ayah to understand its details in his or her lifetime. In the same ayah Allah is stating, that he has closed our hearing. Why would one's hearing be covered, and a veil placed on his heart from Allah, because if one does not want to remember Allah, then he is placed far from Allah, and that person is placed then in the hands of Shaytan (Satan), and if one is placed in his hands, how is it possible then to understand the ayah of Allah.

Allah is mentioning the ayah above, Suratul Kahf #57, that if one calls towards the straight path, however the individual being called has many excuses personally for being busy in worldly matters in order to satisfy his greed, from objects related to this world, as a result he or she would never be called to the straight path, due to the reason that he is placed in the hands of Shaytan.

And your Lord is Most Forgiving, Owner of Mercy. Were He to call them to account for what they have earned, then surely, He would have hastened their punishment. But they have their appointed time, beyond which they will find no escape. (18:58)

The Ayah mentioned above, Allah is mentions he would forgive, if someone obeys his laws, and is obedient to the Prophet (SAW). If someone does not, then his heart is placed with a stamp just like a kaafir, or munafiq. Allah (SWT) says in this ayah, that if he holds an individual with his deeds, he would receive punishments right away, but a time is set for death, and after this there is no way out of this eternal punishment based upon what the wrong doers have committed in this world. Which basically means that if one breaks the laws of Allah and his Messenger, then naturally he or she is obedient to Shaytan (Satan). Shaytan is ending up in the fire of hell, with his followers alongside with him.

And if we had willed, surely! We would have given every person his guidance, but the Word from Me took effect (about evil­doers), that I will fill Hell with jinn and mankind together. (32:13)
