Let not some facts become a veil before the other facts.
The apparent part of what we live should not veil us from their
inner meanings; also the formations in the unseen should not veil us
from their apparent experience.
At
his preach in the Friday salaat, the hodja advised people to keep on
their spiritual practices after Ramadan as well. He gave the verse “waabud
rabbaqa hatta yatiyaqal yaqeen” as an example about his point
and interpreted it as “keep on your practices to your Rabb till
you die”!
I
wonder if the one, who has brought down the Koran, did not know the
word “mawt” which means “death”. Why did not the verse say “waabud
rabbaqa hatta yatiyaqal yaqeen mawt,” instead [if it
meant “till you die”]?
If
the word yaqeen (certainty) had the meaning of mawt
(death) in its usage, then would not be said this time; “qul:
kullu nafsun tzaiqatul yaqeen” [instead of “qul: kullu
nafsun tzaiqatul mawt” ]?
When Allah uses the word “certainty” in a verse in the Koran
you cannot change it into “death” later. You cannot put the
word “yaqeen” in the place of “mawt” in the Koran.
You may say “I do not understand why this word is used here.”
But you can never cover
the meaning of something that you do not understand, with
the meaning of another word which Allah does not use.
“Every
soul will taste death” is a verse which should be understood
perfectly.
By
means of death which is the out-of-order state of physical bodies,
everyone will consciously experience the complete failure of
commanding one’s body and breakdown in communication with the world.
With full consciousness and awareness like the healthiest state
while alive. After this experience, one will go on his life in grave
with the very conscious and aware state.
The “afterworld” is the common name of the life which goes on
after the life on earth within a physical body and extends to all
other dimensions.
Let us approach the event with this understanding…
We
have told the event of self-inquiry of a person, who enters this new
life dimension, in the chapter entitled SELF-INQUIRY. That is an
event, which will be lived in “that time” and “that dimension” with
full consciousness. That does not have a side to be misinterpreted.
After then, the person will benefit, in many ways, from the
spiritual light of faith that
he
got by the spiritual practices he fulfilled in the world, and use it
against the species of that dimension in the realm of grave.
Such a life will go on till Doomsday, the end of the world.
With Doomsday the grave life will end and all the “souls” will come
together in an environment known as the Day of Judgment within the
image of their latest forms in their worldly lives.
That term is a stage when everyone will live thoroughly their gains
and losses as a result of what they acquired and obtained on earth,
and it will be quite distressing and a long term.
Later, to get away from hell which will surround the earth, people
will set off by following the Rasuls and Nabis that
they have had faith in in the world. In this journey, the ones who
have faith (iman), will accomplish this transition (passng
throught Hell) and go on to the dimension described with the name
“Heaven”, the others who are deprived of this spiritual light of
faith will keep on living in the dimension described with the name
“Hell”. We have explained more about that subject in our book
“MYSTERIES OF HUMAN” along with many verses and hadithes, in which
you could read the details.
The spiritual practices of those having the spiritual light of
faith, which are known as “ibadat”, will help them
perform this transition easier. Those that have not fulfilled the
spiritual practices in the way as the Rasuls and Nabis
notified will endure the distress at the time of that transition.
While the ones who are trapped in the dimension known as “Hell” go
on their lives with a spiritual body there, those that could pass to
the dimension named as “Heaven” will experience a kind of
transformation and leave their spiritual bodies to start their life
in the form of pure spiritual light (nur).
This is a brief summary about the progression of the event in
respect of the knowledge coming to us from the Rasul of Allah by the
bestowal of Allah. Our belief is this.
Surely, everyone is responsible for his belief.
May Allah bestow upon us all to have faith (iman) and
certainty (yaqeen) according to the realities at the
sight of Allah.
