THE EARTH AND HUMANS (DIVINE LAWS)

 

                               RELATION BETWEEN THE                                                                CATASTROPHIC EVENTS,

                                                  AND 

                              MORAN DEGRADATION

                                      LO! ALLAH WRONGS NOT EVEN BY THE 

                                      WEIGHT OF AN ATOM

                                      AND IF THERE IS A GOOD DEED,

                                      HE WILL DOUBLE IT,

                                      AND WILL GIVE (THE DOER) FROM

                                      HIS PRESENCE AN IMMENSE REWARD"

                 WHY ARE THERE SUFFERINGS? WHO DO CATASTROPHIES HAPPEN WHICH KILL THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN NO TIME? WHAT IS THAT GOD, WHO PUNISHES HIS OWN CREATIONS? THESE QUESTIONS ARE NOT STRANGE. MANY PUT THEM BOLDLY, AND MANY WISPER THEM IN THEIR HEARTS. HOLY QURAN TELLS THAT, IT IS NOT ALLAH, BUT THE MAN HIMSELF WHO IS ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS MISFORTUNES. ALLAH WRONGS NOT EVEN BY THE W R EIGHT OF AN ATOM.IF IT IS SO THEN, HOW IS THE MAN RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS MISFORTUNES? PARTICULARLY, WHEN HE IS ALWAYS GREEDY FOR HIS BENEFITS, WHY SHOULD HE WORK FOR HIS OWN MISFORTUNES?

                     IN ANSWER TO THESE QUESTIONS, THE QURAN TELLS THAT MANKIND REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR THEM AND WHAT IS BAD. THE MAN FOLLOWS HIS AMBITIONS BLINDLY AND OFTEN HAS PIT FALLS. MANY A TIMES HE SHUNS FROM A THING WHICH IS REALLY GOOD FOR HIS OWN FUTURE. IN THIS RESPECT HE LIKE A CHILD. FOR EXAMPLE THOUGH EDUCATION IS GOOD FOR HIM, BUT IF THE CHILD HAS A CHOICE, HE, WILL GO FOR PLAYTHINGS. BUT HIS PARENTS, KNOWING THE WORTH OF EDUCATION, EVEN FORCE HIM TO GO TO SCHOOL AND WORK HARD ON BOOKS. SIMILAR IS THE CASE OF THE MANKIND. THEIR CREATOR KNOWS WHAT HE HAS BEEN SENDING HIS PROPHETS AND MESSENGERS IN ALL AGES TO HELP THEM TO CLEARLY SEE THE RIGHT PATH.  THE LAST OF THIS LONG SERIES HAS BEEN MUHAMMED, MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM, AND THE HOLY QURAN IS THE LAST AND THE LATEST EDITION OF THE DIVINE GUIDANCE. IF MANKIND FOLLOW ITS TEACHIGS THEY WILL ALWAYS REMAIN ON SAFER SIDE.

                       TO INVITE OUR ATTENTION TO THE REAL CAUSES OF TEH CATASROPHIES THE HOLY QURAN ILLUSTRATES A FEW TYPES OF PUNISHMENTS WHICH HAVE BEFALLEN ON WICKED PEOPLE IN THE PAST, BECAUSE OF THEIR CONTINUOUS BREAKING OF THE DIVINE LAWS.

                             AND WE SENT NOAH TO HIS PEOPLE, AND

                             HE LIVED WITH THEM,

                             A THOUSAND YEARS MINUS FIFTY,

                             THEN THEY WERE CAUGHT BY THE DELUGE,

                              FOR THEY WERE EVIL.

                               THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF AN IMMORAL NATION DESTROYED BY A LARGE SCALE FLOOD. IN THE FOLLOWING VERSE IS GIVEN THE PLIGHT OF THE SINNERS WHO WERE DEVASTED BY EARTHQUAKE:

                           TO MIDIAN WE SENT THEIR BROTHER SHU'EYB

                           HE SAID, O, PEOPLE, WORSHIP GOD,

                           AND BE READY FOR THE DAY OF RESURRECTION,

                           DO NOT DO EVIL AND 

                           CREATE NOT MISCHIEF IN THE LAND,

                           BUT THEY DENIED HIM AND (ULTIMATELY)

                           WERE SEIZED BY AN EARTHQUAKE,

                            AND LAY OVERTURNED IN THEIR HOMES'  

                            IN THE MORNING

                    ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE PUNISHMENT IS NARRATED IN THE VERSE 29 (38). IT IS ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF AAD AND THAMUD, WHO WERE POWERFUL NATIONS OF THEIR TIMES, BUT IN THE END, WERE ALSO DESTROYED BY NATURAL CATASTROPHIES DUE TO THEIR MISDEEDS.

                                AND AAD AND THAMUD, (THEIR FATEA)

                                WILL BE CLEAR TO YOU FROM THEIR HABITATION,

                                (HOW THEY WERE DESTROYED)

                                 FOR SATAN HAD MADE THEIR DEEDS LOOK

                                 ATTRACTIVE TO THEM,

                                AND TURNED THEM AWAY FROM THE PATH OF (ALLAH)

                                AND YET THEY WERE A PEOPLE WITH ACUMEN".

WHERE WE GO AFTER DEATH

 

                                

                          AFTER UNIVERSAL DOOMSDAY:

                                  THE NEW UNIVERSE

                            THE UNIVERSAL DOOMSDAY WILL BE FOLLOWED BY THE RECREATION OF A NEW TYPE OF UNIVERSE SURAT ABRAHAM VERSE 48, THROWS LIGHT ON THIS HAPPENING IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER :

                              (LOOK FOR) THE DAY,

                              "WHEN THE EARTH WILL BE CHANGED

                               TO OTHER THAN THE EARTH AND ALSO

                               THE HEAVENS,

                               AND THEY WILL COME FOURTH UNTO ALLAH,

                               THE ONE, THE COMPELLER".

                               THE REVELATION PROVIDES A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER THE UNIVERAL DOOMSDAY. IT CLEARLY TELLS, THAT AFTER THAT GREAT EVENT, A NEW UNIVERSE WILL BE BORN, POSSIBLY FROM THE DEBITS OF THE PREVIOUS UNIVERSE. NEW UNIVERSE WILL HAVE NEW TYPES OF LIFE-SUPPORTING-BODIES, LIKE THE EARTH AND STARY WORLDS OF HEAVENS. HOLY QURAN INFORMS THAT, THOUGH THEY MAY RESEMBLE IN SHAPE AND STYLE WITH THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD BUT IN REALITY THEY WILL BE DIFFERENT.

                           AT THIS, ALL OF MANKING AND THE JINNS, FROM EVERYWHERE AND FROM ALL THE TIMES, WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE, AND PRESENTED FOR THEIR ACCOUNTABILITY. THEIR DEEDS SHALL SPEAK FOR THEM. THIS WILL BE THE "DAY OF JUSTICE". FOR EVERY ONE.

                         THIS WILL HAPPEN ONCE AND FOR ALL, AND WILL INVOLVE THE WHOLE OF THE UNIVERSE. THAT WILL BE THE END OF EVERYTHING BUT WHOME ALLAH MAY SAVE.

                       THE FOLLOWING REVELATION OF THE HOLY QURAN PREDICT THIS TOTAL ANNIHILATION OF THE PRESENT COSMIC ORDER.

                        "AND CRY NOT ANY OTHER GOD

                          ALONG WITH ALLAH.

                          THERE ARE NO GOD SAVE HIM.

                          EVERYTHING WILL PERISH

                          EXCEPT HIS COUNTENANCE,

                          HIS IS THE COMMAND, AND 

                          UNTO HIM YE WILL BE BROUGHT BACK".

                     "ULTIMATELY)

                          

                              ALL THAT IS THERE WILL PERISH,

                              EXCEPT THE FACE OF YOUR LORD,

                              FULL OF MAJESTY, BOUNTY AND HONOUR".

                      THUS THE ULTIMATE EVENT MEANS THE ENDS OF THE ENTIRE ORDER OF THE PRESENT PHYSICAL UNIVERSE, REVERSING BACK TO THE ORGINAL, STATE OF EXISTENCE IN THE PRE-UNIVERSE PERIOD, WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING BUT GOD ALONE, A STATE OF "NOTHINGNESS".

                                                      THE RESURRECTION

                                  THIS IS THE LAST EVENT OF THE PRESENT OF EXISTENCE. ALL THE MINOR AND MAJOR DOOMSDAY WILL CULMINATE IN IT. THIS WILL ONLY HAPPEN ONCE AND WILL MARK THE BEGINNING OF A NEW UNIVERSE, MUCH LARGER AD GRAMDER THAN THE ENTIRE ORDER OF PRESENT EXISTENCE.

                               THE DAY OF RESURRECTION WILL ALSO BE INITIATED SUDDENLY. AT ITS PEAK, ALL PEOPLE OF ALL TIMES WILL BE BROUGHT BACK OF LIFE AND JUDGED ACCORDING TO THEIR DEEDS PERFORMED IN THEIR PREVIOUS LIVES. IN THE NEW UNIVERSE THERE WILL BE JANNAT THE ABODEOF THE RIGHTEOUS, AND JAHANNAM, THE ADOBE OF THE WICKED. THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME OF THE QURANIC VERSES HIGHLIGHTING THE EVENTS OF THE DAY OF RESURRECTION:

                         THE TRUMPET SHALL BE SOUNDED,'           

                          WHEN BEHOLD!

                          FROM THEIR GRAVES

                          MANKING WILL THEN RUSH FORTH TO

                         THEIR LORD"

                               IT WILL BE A DAY, SPREAD OVER, THOUSANDS OF OUR EARTHLY YEARS, MAY BE MILLIONS. THIS WILL BE THE DAY WHEN EACH SOULD WILL BE DULY AND JUSTLY REWARDED FOR ITS DEEDS IN ITS PREVIOUS LIFE, WHERE IT HAD THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG.

                            ON THAT DAY NO QUESTION WILL BE ASKED

                            OF MANKIND OR JINN AS TO THEIR SINS,

                            THEN WHICH OF THE FAVOURS OF YOUR LORD

                            WILL YED DENY?

                            FOR THE SINNERS WILL BE KNOWN BY THEIR MARKS.

                          AND THEY WILL BE SEIZED

                          BY THEIR FORE LOCKS, AND THEIR FEET,

                          THEN WHICH OF THE FAVOURS OF YOUR LORD

                          WILL YE, DENY?

                        AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF REWARDS AND PUNISHMENTS, PEOPLE WILL BE SENT TO THEIR FINAL ABODES. SOME WILL GO TO HELL AND SOME TO PARADISE. "DEATH UNTO DEATH" IS THE OUTCRY OF THAT DAY. THERE WILL BE EVERLASTING LIFE THEREAFTER. ABOUT THIS VERSES SAY:

                               THIS IS HELL WHICH THE SINNERS DENY,

                               IN ITS MIDST AND IN THE MIDST OF BOILING

                              HOT WATER, WHERE THEY WILL WANDER, AROUND,

                              THEN WHICH OF THE FAVOURS OF YOUR LORD

                              WILL YE DENY?

                              BUT FOR SUCH WHO FEAR THE TIME WHEN THEY STAND

                              BEFORE HIS LORD,

                              THERE WILL BE TWO GARDENS,

                              THEN WHICH OF THE FAVOURS OF YOUR LORD

                              WILL YE, DENY?

MIND AND THOUGHTS

 

                                      MIND BODY AND THOUGHTS

                                                              

                             THE ENTIRE WORK OF THE MEMORY IS PERFORMED IN THIS SUBCONSCIOUS REGION OF THE MIND. ONLY WHEN THE SUBCONSCIOUS RECORD IS REPRESENTED TO THE CONSCIOUS FIELD, AND RECOLLECTION OR REMEMBRANCE RESULTS, DOES THE MEMORIZED IDEA OR IMPRESSION EMERGE FROM THE SUBCONSCIOUS REGION. AN UNDERSTANDING OF THIS FACT SIMPLIFIES THE ENTIRE SUBJECT OF THE MEMROY, AND ENABLES US TO PERFECT PLANS AND METHODS WHEREBY THE MEMORY MAY BE DEVELOPED, IMPROVED AND TRAINED, BY MEANS OF THE DIRECTION OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS ACTIVITIES BY THE USE OF THE CONSCIOUS FACULTIES AND THE WILL.

                         BY ADOPTING THE OPINION THAT EVERY THOUGHT OR IMPRESSION THAT HAD ONECE BEEN CONSCIOUSLY BEFORE THE MIND IS EVER AFTERWARDS RETAINED, WE OBTAIN LIGHT ON MANY OBSCURE MENTAL PHENOMENA, AND ESPECIALLY DO WE DRAW FROM IT THE CONCLUTION OF THE PERFECTIBILITY OF THE MEMORY TO AN ALMOST UNLIMITED EXTENT.

                      ASSOCIATION BY CONTIGUITY IS THAT FORM OF ASSOCIATION BY WHICH AN IDEA IS LINKED, CONNECTED, OR ASSOCIATED WITH THE SENSATION, THOUGHT, OR IDEA IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING IT, AND THAT, WHICH DIRECTLY FOLLOWS IT. EACH IDEA, OR THOUGHT, IS A LINK IN A GREAT CHAIN OF THOUGHT BEING CONNECTED WITH THE PRECEDING LINK AND THE SUCCEEDING LINK. ASSOCIATION BY SIMILARITY IS THAT FORM OF ASSOCIATION BY WHICH AS IDEA, THOUGHT, OR SENSATION IS LINKED, CONNECTED, OR ASSOCIATED WITH IDEAS, THOUGHTS, OR SENSATIONS OF A SIMILAR KIND, WHICH HAVE OCCURED PREVIOUSLY OR SUBSEQUENTLY. 

THE TRUTH ABOUT EARTH

 

                             THE NATURE OF DOOMSDAY

                          "IT IS ALLAH WHO CREATES AND RECREATES"

                            FROM THE VERY BEGINNING".

                         THE HOLY QURAN GIVES A DYNAMIC VIEW OF THE UNIVERSE HIGH LIGHTING THAT THE PROCESS OF CREATION AND RECREATION IS A CONTINUOUS ACTIVITY SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING. THERE CANNOT BE STALEMATE IN THE UNIVERSE. ALLAH CREATES AND RECREATES. HE ORIGINATES AND TAKES AWAY. IN THIS PROCESS, SOMETIMES THERE OCCUR MAJOR SHAKE-UPS AND REVOLUTIONARY CHANGES IN NATURE ALSO. DOOMSDAY REPRESENT SUCH CHANGES. THEY MAY BE CLASSIFIED INTO THE FOLLOWING FOUR CATOGORIES:

                            * MINOR EVENTS

                            * MAJOR EVENTS

                            * ULTIMATE EVENTS, THE UNIVERSAL DOOMSDAY

                            * THE RESURRECTION

                  IN THE FOLLOWING SECTION IS GIVEN A BRIEF REVIEW OF THESE EVENTS WHICH WE BE DISCUSSED IN DETAIL IN SUBSEQUENT CHAPTERS.

                                  👀 MINOR DOOMSDAYS

                               MINOR DOOMSDAYS ARE OF A ROUTINE NATURE, PART OF TEH CONTINUOUS DIVINE PROCESS OF CREATION RECREATION. THEY REPRESENT STEP CHANGES IN THE EVOLUTION OF THE WORLD. IN THEIR SCOPE, THEY ARE GENERALLY LIMITED TO A PARTICULAR EARTH, OR EVEN THEY MAY BE LOCALIZED AFFAIRS EFFECTING A SMALL REGION OF THE EARY ONLY DEATH OF AN INDIVIDUAL IS NOR LESS THAN THE DOOMSDAY FOR HIM. DEPENDING UPON THEIR SEVERITY. THEY CAN BE FURTHER CLASSIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING TYPES:

                           SUB EVENTS : THESE REPRESENT CATASTROPHIES ON A NATIONAL OR GLOBAL SCALE, BUT LIFE CONTINUES NORMALLY AFTER THEY HAVE PASSED OVER. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY SUCH EVENTS WHICH WIPED OUT ENTIRE CIVILIZATIONS IN THE PAST. EXAMPLES, ARE THE FLOOD OF NUH, THE ICE AGES, THE CATASTROPHIC FALL OF METEORS ETC. THE HOLY QURAN REFERS TO MANY SUCH EVENTS IN ITS VARIOUS VERSES AS A REMINDER FOR PEOPLE TO REFLECT INTO THE FATE OF THE EARLIER GENERATIONS OF MANKING ON THE EARTH. (SEE SURA HUD) THE RULE HAS BEEN :

                   "   AND EVERY NATION HAS ITS TERM

                         AND WHEN ITS TIME COMES,

                        THEY CANNOT PUT IT OFF EVEN

                        AN HOUR, NOR THEY CAN ADVANCE IT".

                         * STEPS LEADING TO THE UNIVERSAL DOOMSDAY. DOOMSDAY IS A ROUTINE PHENOMENA IN THE UNIVERSE, AS PART OF ITS DYNAMISM. FIGURE SHOWS FIVE TYPES OF DOOMSDAYS, STARTING WITH THE DEATH OF AN INDIVIDUAL, TO THE RECURRECTION.

                       1. DEATH OF THE INDIVIDUAL. 

                       2. EARTHLY DISTURBANCE.

                       3. COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF THE EARTH

                       4. DOOMS DAY OF THE SOLAR SYSTEMS.

                       5. THE UNIVERSAL DOOMSDAY

                       6. THE RESURRECTION

                     IN UNIVERSE EACH THING HAS A PREFIXED DESTINY AND CREATED FOR A FINITE PERIOD ONLY. THE QURAN SAYS :

                    ALLAH CREATED NOT THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND ALL THAT IS BETWEEN THEM, SAE WITH TRUTH, AND FOR A DESTINED END. BUT TRULY MANY OF THE MANKING ARE DISBELIEVERS IN THE MEETING WITH THEIR LORD".

                    THUS HEAVENS AND THE EARTHS ARE NOT FOR EVER. THEY WILL PERISH AT THEIR TURNS AND SO IS THE UNIVERSE. THE SAME IS TRUE OF THE INDIVIDUALS AND OF THE NATIONS ALSO.

AFTER OUR DEATH (INTRODUCTION)

 

                                 

                                     LIFE AFTER DEATH

                          AND UNTO ALLAH BELONGS,

                         THE UNSEEN OF THE HEAVENS

                         AND THE EARTH.

                         AND THE MATTER OF THE HOUR (OF DOOMSDAY) IS,

                         BUT AS THE TWINKLING OF THE EYE,

                        OR IT IS NEARER STILL,

                         LO, ALLAH IS ABLE TO DO ALL THINGS".

                     ALL THE RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD AND ALSO MODERN SCIENCE, BELIEVE THAT THE WORLD IS GOING TO END, BUT THE QUESTION REMAINS, "HOW? WHEN WE LOOK AROUND AT TEH VAST SKIES STUDDED WITH STARS WE CANNOT REMAIN ASKING, WHAT WILL EVENTUALLY HAPPEN TO ALL THIS?  IN THE HEART OF OUR HEARTS, EACH ONE OF US IS ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT HIS OWN EXISTENCE. BELIEVERS AND ATHEISTS ARE EQUALLY BOTHERED BY THIS THOUGHTS. IN DEATH THE THROUGH THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD OF OURS? IS THERE ANY PURPOSE IN THE UNIVERSE?

                     THESE ARE INDEED VERY PERTINENT QUESTIONS, BUT VERY FEW KNOW DEFINITE ANSWER TO ANY ONE OF THEM. RELIGION AND SCIENCE ARE BOTH DIVIDED ON THE ISSUE. IF THE FORMER  HAS MIXED IT WITH MYTHOLOGY, THE LATTER HAS ADULTRATED IT WITH DOUBT. IN THIS DOMAIN SCIENCE AND RELIGON HAVE DIFFERED MORE THAN ANY OTHER THING, ALTHOUGH BOTH CLAIM TO SEEK "THE TRUTH". THIS CHAPTER IS AN ATTEMPT TO BRING THEM CLOSER WITH REFERENCE TO THE HOLY QURAN. IT IS AN EFFORT TO PROBE INTO THE UNKNOWN, WITH THE HOPE TO ALTEAST PARTIALLY SATISFY THE CURIOSITY TO KNOW ABOUT THE ULTIMATE FATE OF OURSELVES AND THAT OF THE UNIVERSE.OUR THIS IS BASED UPON OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE HOLY QURAN, THE "LAST AND THE LATEST DIVINE GUIDANCE" REVEALED ON PROPHET MUHAMMED (PEACE BE UPON HIM) FOURTEEN CENTURIES AGO, AND THE CURRENT SCIENTIFIC THOUGHTS ON THIS SUBJECT.

                          IN THE OLDEN TIMES, GREEKS HAD ADVANCED THE HYPOTHESIS ABOUT THE ETERNITY OF THE UNIVERSE, MEANING IT HAD ALWAYS EXISTED LIKE IT. THIS NOTION, EVEN NOW PERSISTS AMONG SOME OF THE LEADING ASTRONOMERS, WHO BELIEVE IN THE CONTINUITY OF THE UNIVERSE.

                        ACCORDING TO THIS THEORY (1,18) MATTER CREATES MORE MATTER, AND THE COSMOS GOES ON EXPANDING FOR EVER. THEY SEE NO BEGINNING OR THE END OF THE UNIVERSE.

                               ON THIS, THE CURRENT POPULAR SCIENTIFIC VIEWS WERE SUMMED UP IN GENEVA, IN A CONFERENCE OF COSMOLOGISTS AND PARTICLE PHYSICISTS HELD IN NOVEMBER 1983, "IT WAS SAID, WHAT WE LOOK BACK ON AS THE "BIG BANG" WAS A TIME OF VERY HIGH BUT NOT INFINITE DENSITY, A STATE TO WHICH THE UNIVERSE PHASE IS OVER. OUT OF THE HIGH DENSITY PHASE, IT WILL BE BORN AGAIN. (WITH AN EXPONENTIAL INFLATION PHASE), TO REPEAT THE CYCLE AND INFINITIUM.(2)

                     AS REGARDS THE VARIOUS RELIGIONS, ACCORDING TO PAUL DAVIES, THEY DIFFER GREATLY IN THEIR CONCEPTION OF THE MOMENT AND MANNER OF THIS COSMIC DEMISE. SOME WARN OF AN IMMINENT CATASTROPHE, OF A WORLD OVERTAKEN BY AN APOCALYPTIC DESTRUCTION WHEN THE SINFUL WILL BE JUDGED STERNLY. OTHERS TEACH ABOUT A FORTHCOMING KINGDOM OF HEAVEN WHICH WILL REPLACE THE HARSH AND UNCERTAIN WORLD  WE NOW LIVE IN. HINDUISM AND BUDDAISM INCLINE TOWARD A CYCLIC SYSTEM IN WHICH THE END OF THE CURRENT WORLD FOLLOWS WITH THE REBIRTH OF ANOTHER WORLD.

                          HOWEVER , ON THIS SUBJECT THE GUIDANCE RECEIVED FROM THE HOLY QURAN IS MOST COMPREHENSIVE AND UNPARRALLELED IN CLARITY. FIRST OF ALL, IT TELLS THAT THE UNIVERSE HAD A BEGINNING, IT IS A CREATED WORK IN TIME AND SPACE, WITH A PURPOSE, AND ALLAH IS ITS ORGININATOR, WHO SAYS IN THE QURAN:

                     "WE  HAVE NOT CREATED THE 

                       HEAVENS AND THE EARTH,

                      AND ALL THAT LIES BETWEEN THEM

                      BUT WITH A PURPOSE,

                     ACCORDING TO A PRE-FIXED MEASUREMENT".
