Why the World Is Not What It Was Meant to Be

 

The 3 Worlds We All Live In

By Arslan Rafiq

There are three types of worlds within this one world:

1. Ideal World

2. Real World

3. Fake World

1. Ideal World

The Ideal World is the world as it was meant to be—the way God originally created it. A world where everyone is good, where no one lies, betrays, or steals. In this world, men take responsibility and women bring peace to their homes. Husbands and wives are loyal to each other. There is no prostitution, no call girls, and no murders.

Everyone lives with honor, fulfilling their duties. This is the world that God gave to Adam and Eve—a place of purity, truth, and justice. An ideal world isn’t just a fantasy—it’s a blueprint for what life should be.

2. Real World

The Real World is what people have turned the ideal world into. In this world, wrong things happen every day. People lie, cheat, and betray. Men run toward prostitution, and women cheat behind their husbands' backs. Many men avoid their responsibilities, and many women destroy the peace of their homes.

God created the world to be ideal, but we—the people—turned it into something else. The Quran says, “Good women are for good men, and bad men are for bad women.” But when we study history, we see contradictions: Pharaoh’s wife was a good woman despite being married to a cruel man. On the other hand, the wife of Prophet Lut (AS) was disobedient and among the wrongdoers.

This tells us that real life doesn’t always follow the ideal pattern.

3. Fake World

The Fake World goes by many names—fantasy, imagination, or simply living in your head. It’s the world you build in your own mind, disconnected from both reality and the ideal.

In this world, you're the writer, the director, and the hero of your own story. A boy meets a girl and imagines the wind blowing, romantic music playing—like a scene from a movie. A girl dreams of her prince charming arriving on a white horse. It feels real, but it’s only a dream. It's not how life actually works.

So, Which World Should You Live In?

The truth is:

We were sent to an Ideal World,

We created a Real World,

And now, many of us live in a Fake World.

Now the question is—which one should you live in?

Let’s break this down into three kinds of people:

---

1. Believers in the Ideal World

These are people who, when they see something wrong, can’t ignore it. It doesn’t sit right with them. They take action immediately—because they know what the world should be like. They live by values and truth, even if the world doesn’t.

2. Believers in the Real World

These people see what’s wrong—but they accept it. They know something is bad, but they tolerate it, thinking “this is how it is now.” They don’t try to fix it; they adjust. They may recognize good and evil, but they don’t fight for either. They believe in survival over morality.

3. Believers in the Fake World

These are the people who don’t care what’s right or wrong. If it feels good, it must be true. If it fits their fantasy, they live in it—no matter how far it is from reality. They create their own truth, even if it’s a lie.

Final Thoughts

You have to choose:

Do you want to restore the world to what it should be?

Do you want to accept the world as it is?

Or do you want to live in a dream that’s not even real?

Every choice creates a different future—for you, for your family, and for this world.
