How Is Life Beyond Death

How is the life beyond death with reference to the knowledge we have acquired from sound sources? I will try to tell it to you briefly... Those are our determinations and nobody has to accept them. You may share (benefit) if it fits your reasoning, logic and understanding; or you just pass over saying this is just another belief. This subject is explained in more details in several sections of our books entitled “THE ONE'S CONTEMPLATION,” “WHAT MOHAMMED READ” and ALLAH AS INTRODUCED BY MOHAMMED.

Human body breaks down (analyses) the nutriments it has taken from outside and converts them into bioenergy inside the body, which operates as an organic factory. That bioelectrical energy not only provides the brain with bioelectric, but it also provides the liveliness of all cells in the physical body with a bioelectrical system known as neural system. In addition, it keeps the spirit connected to the physical body by providing the physical body with a magnetic area. The bio-electricity that a brain receives is similar to the electric input that a computer is provided with.

In fact, a brain neither “sees” nor “hears.” Brain operates like sort of a computer. It only compares incoming waves of certain frequencies with the information it has already stored and hence draws a conclusion (generates meanings).

While brain conducts the body, it also constructs (produces) “SPIRIT” in the meantime. Just like telepathy is a kind of communication between brains on a wave basis, the human spirit is a parallel body made up of waves produced by brain. There is a continuous interaction, an exchange of energy and information between brain and spirit. Brain stores all the energy produced in itself and all the outcome of mental functions onto a wave-like body which forms the spirit.

Death is kind of a transformation. The moment that a brain stops for any given reason, the bio-electrical energy that is distributed between cells of the whole body through the neural system, is detached from the physical body starting to be removed from the foot fingers upwards... The same moment, the spirit disconnects and is freed from the physical body...

From then onward, consciousness lives on with a spirit body. Death does not cause any pause in consciousness. Most of the times even, the person is not aware that he has actually tasted death. While he perceives all sides consciously, all of a sudden he starts panicking because of peoples' weeping and wailing for him, and he feels extremely worried. He observes people attending around his corpse's bathing and the funeral Salaat performance. And he gets into the greatest panic when his body is laid down in a grave, because he is still there in a conscious and alive state, unfortunately he has to be buried in a grave with his body.

Likewise the events that you have lived during the day may show up in your dream without your consent and you cannot avoid it, you can neither give up nor get away from your physical body at that time for you accepted yourself as that physical body all along your lifetime. Thus, you will find yourself buried in grave with the same body and you will even hear the footsteps of people going away. Even if you were the richest or the highest in rank or the most famous person of the world, you will be all alone there in an environment completely unknown to you!

The same way as there is a subjective (inner) and an objective (external) view associated with a physical body for the time being, there is formed a subjective and an objective view also associated with spirit body. While spirit is in the realm of jinni in view of its subjective (inner) observance, it is in an angelic dimension in view of its objective (external) observance. It perceives the Hell, demons as its inhabitants and the living beings in Paradise...

If one has not prepared himself against the circumstances there in the way as RasulAllah has made the forewarning about, then there will be nothing to do in that environment other than suffering the consequences of negligence. What is known as the “torment of grave” is a form of life experienced there in this case.

“Wal baa'thu badal MAWT” in “Amantu” means “continuing to live within a new body right by DEATH,” not a revival on the DOOMSDAY after death. See the section “Belief in Akhirat” in our book “REASONING AND BELIEF” for more details...

Such a life will last until Doomsday. In that domain known as “Barzakh,” some people are in their own universe (alam) like someone dreaming in bed while the martyrs (shahid), a group of Awliyah and anbiyah are in a free state of movement.

Spirit bodies will transform into a new structure depending on the conditions after Doomsday, and it is a new “baa'th.” They will try to pass through the environment called as Hell with those bodies. Those who have moved past the Hell environment will however experience a new “baa'th” and transform into a “nuur” (light) body from spirit body. From then onward, those ideational beings lead a life in the dimension known as Heaven in the form of “nuurani” (enlightened) beings. This, Allahualem (as known by Allah), will last billions of years!..
