THE LIFE AFTER DEATH (TO BELIEVE OR NOT TO BELIEVE)

                                      (AFTER DEATH)

                   TO BELIEVE OR NOT TO BELIEVE

                           I SIMPLYOR NOT TO BELIEVE THAT

                                 SOME PART OF THE HUMAN

                          SELF OR SOUL IS NOT

                                    SUBJECT TO THE LAWS OF

                          SPACE AND TIME

                      THERE ARE STILL MANY PEOPLE WHO FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE IN THE LIFE AFTER DEATH AND THE RESURRECTION. FOR THEM, THIS LIFE IS THE ONLY LIFE AND THERE IS NOTHIG AFTER DEATH. IRONICALLY, HOLDERS OF SUCH BELIEFS TRY TO JUSTIFY THIS ON THE BASIS OF COMMON SENSE AND SCIENCE. IN THIS REGARD THEY CONSIDER THEMSELVES MORE PROGRESSIVE AND FORWARD LOOKING THAN OTHERS, AND GIVE THOSE WHO DO NOT SHARE THEIR VIEWS, NAMES SUCH AS OLD FASHIONED, TRADITIONALISTS AND BACKWARD LOOKING PEOPLE. ODDLY ENOUGH, THEY NEVER REALIZE THAT DISBELIEF IS AS OLD AS THE BELIEF ITSELF. EVEN AT THE TIME WHEN THE HOLY QURAN WAS BEING REVEALED, THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO DID NOT BELIEVE IN LIFE-AFTER-DEATH. THEIR ARGUMENTS WERE ALSO SIMILAR TO THOSE OF THE SO CALLED PROGRESSIVE MINDS OF TODAY. THE HOLY QURAN SAYS :

                                                   👀

                 THE CHIEF OF THE PEOPLE DO NOT

                  BELIEVE AND DENY THE THE LIFE TO COME

                  ................................................................

                 .................................................................

                 THEY SAY,

                 THERE IS NO OTHER LIFE BUT THIS WORLD'S

                 WE DIE AND WE LIVE

                 AND THERE IS NO RISING FOR US

                 FROM THE DEAD

                                   👀

                 THE HOLY QURAN TELLS THAT DISBEILIEF IN THE LIFE-AFTER-DEATH HAS BEEN FASHIONABLE WITH THE RICH EXPLOITING CLASSES IN SOCIETY. THEY NEITHER FEAR ALLAH THEMSELVES, NOR DO THEY LIKE OTHER TO FOLLOW THE RIGHT PATH. WITHOUT ANY PROOF, THEY KEEP INSISTING UPON THEIR IGNORANCE AND WISH OTHERS TO FOLLOW THEM IN THEIR DARKNESS.

                    ON THE OTHER HAND, A BELIEVER HAS MUCH MORE SOUND GROUND TO SUPPORT THE BELIEF THAT DEATH IS NOT THE END OF THE STORY OF LIFE. EVEN THE SIMPLE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT TELLS HIM THAT THERE CAN NEVER BE AN, ABSOLUTE END TO ANYTHING. HOW CAN THAT BE WITH THE MAN, WHO IS THE MOST SUPREME OF CREATIONS IN THE UNIVERSE, THAT HE IS PERISHED FOR EVER AFTER HIS PHYSICAL DEATH.

                   WHAT WE CALL LIFE-AFTER-DEATH IS IN FACT THE CONTINUATION OF THE PRESENT ORDER OF EXISTENCE. IN A NEW DOMINION IT IS A WORLD AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE PRESENT WORLD. EXISTENCE CONTINUES FOR EVER, THOUGH ITS SHAPE AND STYLE KEEY VARYING THROUGH TIME AND SPACE.

                        ACCORDINGLY THE EXISTENCE OF THE PRE-UNIVERSE WAS ALSO NOT THE STATE OF "NOTHINGNESS". AND EVEN IF, WE MAY CALL IT "NOTHINGNESS". IT HAS NEVER BEEN DEVOID OF EXISTENCE. THE ENERGY BEINGS, SUCH AS JINNIS, AND ANGELS, MIGHT HAVE BEEN BORN EVEN BEFORE MATERIAL UNIVERSE. SOULS ARE ALSO A KIND OF ENERGY BEINGS WHICH WERE THERE BEFORE THEIR MANIFESTATION ON THE EARTH, AND DO NOT DIE AFTER THE BODILY DEATH. IN WORDS OF AISHA ABDUL RAHMAN. IN THE PICTURE WHICH WE HAVE OF CREATION (FROM THE QURAN) FIRST THERE WAS THE ANA, THE GREAT MIST OR CLOUD. THERE WAS NO ATMOSPHERE ABOVE OR BELOW IT. THEN THE LIGHT OF HIS ESSENCE FLOWED OVER IT AND THE MIST BECAME DYED I.E. PERMEATED WITH LIGHT. THEN THE FORMS OF ANGELS WHO WANDERED LONE APPEARED IT. THESE ANGELS ARE IN CONSTANT WONDER MOVEMENT. 

                   THIS IS THE NATURE OF THEIR ENERGY. THE BEGINNING OF CREATION IS CHARACTERISED BY THEIR INTENSE MOVEMENT. THE PHYSICSTS VIEW IT, HIGH ENERGY PARTICLES AND RELIGION VIEWS IT AS ANGELS, MOVING INTENSELY AS THEY EXPERIENCE THE MAJESTY OF THEIR DEITY".
