آية: 12

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡعَقَبَةُ

12. What will make you know what is [entering through] the narrow path⁵.

5. Paths are different not just in size, but in reasons for why they are this way. The path to destruction is seen as wide because in our fallen world, sin is plentiful and can be found everywhere. We are encouraged, at times, to focus on ourselves rather than others and that greed, pride, and power are all worthy attributes to have. Many will go through this path because it is easy, enticing, and fulfills all their needs and wants, even if temporarily. The difficult path is narrow and few will go through it. It is the path to salvation, of surrendering one’s life to Allah and following a path that can be challenging but rewarding at times. You will grow more spiritually while on this path, and realize that the world (offered through the wide path) doesn’t have as much to offer you as the difficult path does. Muhammad (ﷺ), the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Paradise is surrounded by adversity, and Hellfire is surrounded by lusts.”
