The questions never end! What needs to be learned is endless! Time
needed for learning is short… Besides; most of the facts were
explained using symbols, metaphors and signs within the social
conditions of the time of 14 centuries before…
Now let us start to think again…
In
one of the true hadithes, it's stated that when a person is
placed into the grave two angels that are called Munkar and Nakir
will ask these questions:
“Man Rabbuqa? (Who is your Rabb?)
Man Nabiyyuqa? (Who is your Nabi?)
Man Kitabuqa?” (What is your Book?)
Various questions related to this hadith might get stuck into
someone's mind, who wants to understand the subject better.
For example:
What are these angels? Where do they come from? How do they come?
Are the images of these angels original and constant or are they
variable in connection with one's database? Will each person
experience this event unexceptionally when they pass away?
If
we can remember what we wrote before about the concept of angel...
An
“angel” refers to a being which does not bear a width, length,
density, shape, size, weight; briefly it refers to being that has no
relation with the material conditions. In this case, of course no
arrival from some locality can be considered for angels!
Besides, they can fairly be regarded as a level or a dimension in
the realm of existence.
Thus, if we think that the existence in the universe has been
created on holographic basis, we then realize that the angels,
including all that are given those and other names, that are
spiritual powers, do take part as dimensional levels in everyone's
existence and it's not a matter of discussion for them to come from
outside.
Now, in such a case, we understand that these angels, defined as
“light” (nuur) in terms of their main structure, become manifest in
one's consciousness according to his database and his spiritual mood
with the images that brain forms. Because all the data in the brain
are loaded onto the spirit and the person lives with his spiritual
body from then on, his database in this world is effective also in
this process.
It
means that this power of interrogation found as a dimensional level
deep within the true self (haqiqat) of each and every person,
will become manifest in their consciousness when they are placed into the
grave, and will question them about the new dimension conditions that
they get in.
This interrogation is about the three subjects above.
Why is the person asked of “man rabbuqa” but not of “man
ilahuqa” (who is your god)? What is meant by these question words?
“İlahiyat”
(the quality of godhood) implies an external existence. Yet, ”rububiyyat”
(the quality of Rabb) is a dimension within the essence of existence
as a formation.
The answer of this question is expected to be “My Rabb is Allah”
which is originated as awareness (wisdom) from within the person
automatically based on his spiritual state and sensitivity in the
conditions of that environment. It must even be based on the mystery
of “B”.
I
shall warn again that this answer will not be nonsensical utterance
of plain words, with the words like the repetition of a parrot.
This interrogation is a life style and a process, not a test!..
Almost every person
will be shocked when he experiences death!.. Because he/she
encounters a reality of a different kind of life style far beyond
what he may have ever thought of in this world.
During this stage, every person will automatically question about
his past as to what kind of failures and achievements he had, where he
was right and where wrong.
Yes, each person who passes to the grave life is forced to begin interrogating
his/her faith unavoidably and determines where he/she did well where
he/she made a mistake in the subjects of faith and of preparation for
the life beyond death. This period is the stage when the angels
named “Munkar and Nakir” become manifest from within him/her.
Each person will have to interrogate himself of how ready he is for
the realities of his new life in the environment that is so
different for him.
There are two styles of life that one lives in the world...
Either by comprehending the One pointed out with the name “Allah”
and by preferring the style of world life based on this
comprehension…
Or
without realizing this truth; by ending the world life in a manner
which is not in line with the realities of the system, in a
suspicion of a god beyond yourself, over there, through an
exterior object!..
LET'S NOTICE THAT…
If
we attempt to decipher the events described with various names and
qualities, starting out the meaning of these names and qualities as
we do generally, this is a confusing way and it is quite difficult
to shoot the target of the reality of the event. Because, to tell
the case that has been lived, “words” are fairly insufficient. It is
quite difficult to reach the truth from the “words” because of this
insufficiency.
Let me give the example of it like this: You have a dream and you
feel whatever you lived at that period. However, when you try to
tell your dream to somebody after you wake up, in which amount can
you tell what you have dreamed of and lived with words to the other
person!?
Here, the “rasul”s and “nabi”s perceive and experience lots of
things in a manner supported by visions from time to time, sensing
the dimension of consciousness; but they fail to express in words
fairly when they need to tell across these experiences to others.
That's why when such an information in words was reached to us, in
order to penetrate the subject, it is highly a useful way to
consider what may have been experienced that was tried to be told us
with the words.
On
the other hand, to “be transformed from case to speech” is
really very short and clear way, trying to understand by focusing on
“what may have been lived”.
Words are insufficient and weak to relate what a person senses and
lives.
Let's come back to our main subject...
If
the individual lived convenient to the truth of One pointed out with
the name “Allah”, in addition to this, also utilizing the
information coming from Nubuwwa (the quality of being Nabi)
perfection, could s/he direct his/her life according to this, or
not?
Why is it said “man nabiyyuqa” instead of “man rasuluqa”
(who is your rasul)?
However, whether in word of testimony, or in many verses of Koran, “having
faith in rasul” is mentioned.
There are two answers of this...
First answer is this… “Risalat” (the quality of RASUL) perfection
informs about the truth of the existence… This is also related with
the answer of the first question.
Second answer is that… Whether or not the individual utilizes the
information coming from Nubuwwa perfection that would benefit
him/her under the conditions he/she lives.
For example, the practices, which are pointed out as “spiritual
practices” (ibadat) all discovered with Nubuwwa perfection,
are the needed works aimed for necessities of hereafter dimension.
The individual gains certain powers and forces while doing these
practices, and withstands the conditions of the environment where
he/she will be tormented or bothered.
If
s/he failed to apply the information coming from Nubuwwa
perfection, do obligatory practices and works through this way, this
time s/he will be sentenced to torment of grave because s/he
will be left destitute from divine light, energy and power which are
the yields of that practices!..
The torment of grave for the individual is because of not being
prepared for the dimension he passes, and of not getting the
spiritual powers he had to get and not strengthening his spiritual
body enough in world, as you may have noticed…
