Guardians of the Akhira: Why We Must Evolve Beyond the Dunya

The Qur'an, Dhikr, and the Call to Higher Awareness

The Qur'an is the foundation—the unshakable ground from which we must begin. Yet, most people today are disconnected from it, either by neglect or by only reading translations. Without reciting it in Arabic, reflecting on its meanings, and engaging with its Tafsir, we risk being caught in imagination, feelings, and attachment to the senses—detached from true insight.

Reciting the Qur'an anchors us in the present, creating our world as it should be. From this connection, Dhikr becomes the natural next step—a process that opens the heart and aligns it with the mind. But Dhikr alone can leave us ungrounded unless it's paired with Duas, which tether us to the divine and protect future generations from falling into spiritual voids.

This is the danger: if we remain S-users (sensory-driven), we are attached to the dunya, bound to what is fleeting. If we are F-users (emotionally driven), we risk being caught in pain and ungroundedness, unable to rise. Even intellectual T-users, without Dhikr and Duas, can remain disconnected from the heart, limited by rationality alone.

The Qur'an, Dhikr, and Duas are not optional—they are the lifeline, the path to becoming what we must aim for: individuals who embody the balance and insight of an INTJ. This is not a personality preference; it is a necessity to protect our Akhira and the generations to come. Only by transcending the sensual and the fleeting can we align our hearts and minds with the divine blueprint.
