THE LIFE AFTER DEATH
YOUR CREATION AND YOUR RESURRECTION
IS BUT LIKE THAT OF A SINGLE SELF.
VERILY HE IS THE ALL-HEARING AND SEEING.
PEOPLE ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION WILL THINK THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SLEEPING FOR ONLY A WHILE, AND HAD BEEN WOKEN UP. AND IT WILL BE A CONTROVERSIAL ISSUE FOR THEM. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS IN OUR OWN WORLDLY LIFE. WHEN WE LOOK BACK, IT SEEMS BUT A VERY SHORT PERIOD.
THE HOLY QURAN ILLUSTRATES THIS WITH THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION OF THE TYPE OF CONVERSATION AMONG THE PEOPLE AT THEIR RESURRECTION.
THE GUILTY WILL VOW THAT THEY DID TARRY
BUT AN HOUR,
BUT THOSE TO WHOM KNOWLEDGE AND FAITH,
ARE GIVEN, WILL SAY,
THE TRUTH IS, YE HAVE TARRIED BY ALLAH'S
DECREE UNTIL THE DAY OF RESURRECTION
THIS IS THE DAY OF RESURRECTION,
BUT YE USED NOT TO BELIEVE".
THE DAY OF RESURRECTION IS THE DAY OF GATHERING TOGETHER OF ALL THE GENERATIONS OF MANKIND FROM ALL THE WORLDS, FROM ALL THE TIMES. THAT IS THE DAY OF ACCOUNTABILITY ALSO. THERE IS HARDLY ANY PAGE OF THE HOLY QURAN, WHICH DOES NOT WARN MANKIND OF THEIR RESURRECTION AND THEIR ACCOUTABILITY IN THE LIFE-AFTER-DEATH. "THE EMISSARIS" OF THE HOLY QURAN , IS A POWERFUL REMINDER OF THE SCENARIO OF THE DAY OF RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE-AFTER-DEATH. IT SAYS:
THIS IS THE DAY OF DECISION,
WE HAVE BROUGHT YOU
AND THE MEN OF OLD TOGETHER.
IF NOW YE HAVE ANY WIT, OUTWIT ME,'
WOE UNTO THE REPUDIATORS ON THE DAY
LO! THOSE WHO KEPT THEIR DUTY
ARE A MID SHADE AND FOUNTAINS,
AND FRUITS SUCH AS THEY DESIRE.
(UNTO THEM IT IS SAID)
EAT, DRINK, AND WELCOME,
O YE BLESSED, IN RETURN FOR WHAT YE DID,
THUS DO WE REWARD THE GOOD.
❤
ALL PRAISE IS FOR ALLAH,
THE SUSTAINER AND NOURISHER OF
THE WORLD,
THE OUTRIGHT BENEFICIENT AND,
MERCIFUL ALWAYS".
THE WHOLE SCENARIO OF EXISTENCE HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED INTO THREE CATEGORIES, I.E.THE HEAVENS, THE EARTH, AND OTHER WORLDS. ALLAH NOURISHES AND SUSTAINS THESE WORLDS AS HE SUSTAINS AND NOURISHES OUR EARTH. SINCE, NOURISHMENT IS ASSOCIATED WITH LIFE, THEREFORE, ONE CAN CONCLUDE FROM VERSE45 THAT OUR EARTH IS NOT BE THE ONLY LIVING WORLD IN THE UNIVERSE. THERE ARE MANY MORE WORLDS WHICH HAVE LIVING BEINGS, NEEDING NOURISHMENT FROM THEIR CREATOR. HE NOURISHES THEM AND SUSTAINS THEM AS HE LOOK AFTER OUR NEEDS ON THE EARTH.
AS FOR THE NATURE OF THESE WORLDS, FROM VERSE 65, IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE SIMILAR TO OUR EARTH.
ALLAH IT IS, WHO HAS CREATED,'
SEVEN HEAVENS,
AND OF THE EARTH, THE LIKE THEREOF,
THE (SAME) COMMANDMENT COMES DOWN
AMONG THEM GRADUALLY
SO THAT YE MAY KNOW THAT
ALLAH IS ABLE TO DO ALL THINGS, AND THAT
ALLAH SURROUNDS ALL THINGS IN KNOWLEDGE.
IT IS OBVIOUS FROM THE VERSE THAT JUST AS THERE ARE MANY HEAVENS, SIMILARLY THERE ARE MANY EARTHS. THE COMMANDANT COMES DOWN AMONG THEM GRADUALLY". MEANS THAT ALL OF THEM FOLLWO THE SAME PATTERN OF EVOLUATION AND DEVELOPMENT.
PRESENCE OF THE INTELLIGENT LIVING BEINGS IN THE OUTER SPACE IS ALSO EVIDENT FROM VERSE 55, WHICH INFORMS THAT EVERYONE, THAT IS IN THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH SEEK THEIR NEEDS FROM ALLAH.
OF HIM SEEKS (ITS NEED)
EACH ONE IN THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH,
EVERYDAY, HE APPEARS IN
NEW SPLENDOUR".
EVERYDAY HE APPEARS IN NEW SPLENDOUR" MEANS THAT, NEW WORLDS ARE CONTINUOUSLY BEING ADDED TO THE UNIVERSE, BEFITTING FOR CARRYING LIFE. THEY ALL DEPEND ON ALLAH FOR THEIR LIVING AND IN THEIR TURN, EACH ONE OF THEM WILL HAVE ITS OWN DOOMSDAY. IN THE END, ALL OF THEM WILL BE GATHERED TOGETHER AT THE TIME OF THE RESURRECTION.
