The complaint/ The Answer

Filed under: Uncategorized — littleblubirdy @ 6:32 pm

ok so i know this is quite the delayed response, but i thought i had enough to say about the poem we read in class last week. I was actually confused on the fact that he wrote the complaint and then wrote the answer himself also. It makes me wonder what his actual thoughts/ beliefs are. If however he was a true muslim, isn’t it all about the end result anyway? the day of judgement. Doesn’t it all matter about the ending, when you are ultimately judged for your good/pure behavior? To me it sounds like he is preoccupied with the present and achieving material goods for his present state of mind. But not looking to the future. The complaint is emphasizing that other (non-muslims) have not worked at achieving their status and wealth. But the main focus as a muslim should be for internal happiness, which is achieved through justice and good deeds. Instead of living the life of a selfless being, there is a need for wanted wealth, which in my opinion will bring about more obstacles to the complainer.
