The adequacy of life in understanding the Truth according to the Qur'an and obstacles which face it

In this article we take as the concept of truth the verse "In fact we belong to Allah and we actually turn to Him" (al-Baqarah 2/156.) In the introduction we touch upon the topic of man and timeand later explore the concept of life and truth. Verses in the Qur'an state that man has been given sufficient time of life to understand and find truth. According to the Qur'an a lifetime is sufficient enough time to find and understand truth. However there are some obstacles. These obstacles consist of not knowing Allah (God), not knowing one's self, surrendering to desires, sickness of the heart, the ambition of longer life, bad friends, becoming tangled to the beauty of the surface of the world, preferring the worldly life, laziness, being distracted by entertainment, not thinking, following the majority / peer pressure, wasting time with unnecessary things and heedlessness.
