In this teaching Sheikh Bahauddin reminds us that a child running is not merely playing; it is an unconscious rehearsal for the ultimate race toward Allah Almighty. Each stage of life – youth, middle age and old age – calls us to quicken our devotion rather than linger in worldly distractions. When we recognise that every breath brings us closer to our final destination, we become true winners, whatever our wealth or status.
The Creator did not bring the universe into being without purpose, Sheikh Bahauddin emphasises. Our existence is an invitation to serve Him, to live by His law and to present a heart purified by sincere effort. Worldly riches, whether counted in millions or trillions, dissolve into nothing; only the quality of our service endures. By running this spiritual race with awareness, we work toward a good ending that is accepted by Allah.
