The Ugly World

On the Day of Resurrection, the world will be brought before the people. It would look like an old woman, with blue sunken eyes and protruding teeth. People will be asked, "Do you recognise her." They will say, "May Allah protect us all! Who is this monster?" Then they will be told, "This is the world, the world for which you killed on another, severed blood relationship, felt jealous of one another, nourished grudge against others; it is the world that deceived you all." Then this old hag will be hurled into Jahannam. She will cry, "Call my admirers! Send my followers with me to Jahannam." Then Allah Ta'ala will give the command: "Send to Jahannam all those who followed this world." Source: Fadhail-e-Sadaqaat Part II, translated by Prof. Abdul Karim.
