WHERE WE GO AFTER DEATH

 

                                    LIFE AFTER DEATH 

                                   SOME EXPERIENCES

 

 

                              THE QUESTION OF LIFE DEATH IS ONE OF THE MOST INTRIGUING RIDDLES CONCERNING THE HUMAN BEINGS, WHICH HAS BEEN BELIEVED BY MANY OF THEM, BUT NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD. EVEN THE MOST PRIMITIVE SOCIETIES, LIKE THE ABORIGINES OF AUSTRALIA BELIEVE IN ANCESTRAL SPIRIT AND BESEECH THEM FOR HELP WHILE IN DISTRESS. AMONG THE MAJOR RELIGIONS SUCH AS JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM THIS IS ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF THEIR TEACHINGS. HINDU RELIGIONS BELIEVE IN THE REINCARNATION OF THE SOUL, WHERE THIS LIFE IS THE RESULT OF ITS PERFORMANCE IN ITS PREVIOUS LIFE. SAME IS TRUE FOR THE BELIEFS OF THE CHINESE, JAPANESE AND OTHER CIVILIZATIONS OF MANKIND. IN SHORT, THERE IS NO SOCIETY ON THE EARTH WHICH, IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, IS WITHOUT ITS CONCEPT OF LIFE-AFTER-DEATH.

                      LIFE-AFTER-DEATH IS SUCH AN INTRIGUING CONCEPT WHICH MAY NEVER BE VERIFIED IN TERMS OF PHYSICAL MEASURES, THOUGH OCCASIONALLY WE DO OFTEN HEAR ABOUT PEOPLE WHO DIE AND THEN LATER, AFTER FEW HOURS OR SO, COME BACK TO LIFE AGAIN. IN THIS RESPECT, STUDIES OF DR.RAYMOND MOODY, REPORTED IN HIS BOOK "LIFE AFTER DEATH" ARE HIGHLY THOUGHT PROVOKING. IN THIS BOOK, HE HAS INVESTIGATED THE CASES OF ABOUT 150 PERSONS WHO WERE CLINICALLY DECLARED DEAD BUT BUT LATER, MIRACULOUSLY CAME BACK OF LIFE. THE BOOKS IS THE ACCOUNT OF THE INTERVIEWS WHICH SUCH PERSONS EXPERIENCES WHICH HE HAS STUDIED FALL INTO THE FOLLOWING THREE CATAGORIES.

                                  1) THE EXPERIENCES OF PERSONS WHO WERE RESUCIATED AFTER HAVING BEEN THOUGHT, ADJUDGED, OR PRONOUNCED CLINICALLY DEAD BY THEIR DOCTORS.

                                 2) THE EXPERIENCES OF PERSONS WHO, IN THE COURSE OF ACCIDENTS OF SEVERE INJURY OR ILLNESS, CAME VERY CLOSE TO PHYSICAL DEATH.

                               3) THE EXPERIENCE OF PERSONS WHO, AS THEY DIED, TOLD THEM TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO WERE PRESENT. LATER, THESE OTHER PEOPLE REPORTED THE CONTENT OF THE DEATH EXPERIENCE TO THE AUTHOR.

                       DR.RAYMOND MOODY SUMMARISES HIS FINDINGS IN THE 

                                   FOLLOWING WORDS:

                   DESPITE THE WIDE VARIATION IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDINGS CLOSE CALLS WITH DEAL AND IN THE TYPES OF PERSONS UNDERGOING THEM, IT REMAINS TRUE THAT THERE IS STRIKING SIMILARLY AMONG THE ACCOUNTS OF THE EXPERIENCES THEMSELVES, INFACT, THE SIMILARITIES AMONG VARIOUS REPORTS ARE SO GREAT THAT ONE CAN EASILY PICK OUT ABOUT FIFTEEN SEPARATE ELEMENTS WHICH RECUR AGAIN AND AGAIN IN THE MASS OF NARRATIVES THAT I HAVE COLLECTED. ON THE BASIS OF THESE POINTS OF LIKENESS, LET ME NOW CONSTRUCT A BRIEF, THEORETICALLY "IDEAL" OR "COMPLETE" EXPERIENCE WHICH EMBODIES ALL OF THE COMMON ELEMENTS, IN THE ORDER IN WHICH IT IS TYPICAL FOR THEM TO OCCUR.

SOUL AND THE HUMAN BODY

 

                              

                               POSSIBLE MECHANISM

                            WITNESSING OF OUR BODY PARTS AGAINST US IS NO MORE AN INCOMPREHENSIVE THING IN THESE DAYS. IMPORTANCE OF FINGER PRINTS IN CRIMINOLOGY IS AN OLD ART AND WELL KNOWN. BUT THE RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE STUDY OF THE HUMAN BONES, HAIRS, BLOOD, TISSUES, SECRETIONS ETC. ARE HIGHLY STARTLING. A WEALTH OF INFORMATON CAN BE OBTAINED ABOUT AN INDIVIDUALS FROM THE STUDY OF VERY SMALL SAMPLES OF THESE THINGS TAKEN EVEN FROM HIS DEAD BODY. FOR EXAMPLE HUMAN HAIR IS ALREADY BEING USED AS A TELL-TALE EVEN THOUSANDS OF YEARS AFTER DEATH. IT HAS BEEN DISCOVERED  THAT IT HOLDS A PERMANENT RECORD IN CHRONICAL ORDER OF ALL CHEMICALS THAT A PERSON HAS TAKEN. FOR EXAMPLE, USING HIS HAIR, IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT THE 19TH CENTURY FAMOUS ENGLISH POET JOHN KEATS WAS AN OPIU USER.

                     INTRODUCTION TO THE HUMAN SOUL

                  "  WE HAVE NOT CREATED,

                     THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH,

                     AND ALL THAT IS IN BETWEEN THEM,

                     PURPOSELESS,

                     ONLY THOSE WHO DENY (THE TRUTH)

                     IMAGINE SO".

                         THERE ARE SEVERAL VERSES IN THE HOLY QURAN LIKE THE ABOVE WHICH EMPHASIZE THAT THERE IS A PURPOSE AND MEANING IN THE CREATION AND THE NOTHING IS CREATED FOR NOTHING. ACCORDING TO THIS PRINCIPLE, DOOMSDAY WILL ACTUALLY BE THE FULLFILLMENT OF THE PURPOSE OF THE CREATION OF THE WHOLE UNIVERSE. THIS IS THE REASON WHY THE QURAN DOES NOT CALL IT. "THE END" BUT NAMES IT THE "EVENT" WHICH WILL TRANSFORM ONE STATE OF EXISTENCE INTO ANOTHER. AS HAS BEEN SAID, THE WHOLE PROCESS WILL FOLLOW THE CALCULATED SCHEME OF "DIVINE WILL" AND IN NO CASE IT IS A HAPHAZARD ACCIDENT OF NATURE. INFACT IT IS A REVOLUTION IN THE LONG CHAIN OF EVOLUTION OF THE UNIVERSE TO BRING IT TO ITS LOGICAL CONCLUSION TO CREATE A NEW WORLD AS A DIRECT CONSEQUENCE OF THE PRESENT ONE. THIS PURPOSE OF THE DOOMSDAY IS REVEALED IN THE FOLLOWING VERSE.

                                    "VERILY THE HOUR (OF THE DOOM)

                                     IS TO COME,

                                     MY DESIGN IS TO KEEP IT HIDDEN,

                                     FOR EVERY SOUL TO RECEIVE ITS REWARD,

                                     BY THE MEASURE OF ITS ENDEAVOR"

                                  THUS THE RESURRECTION WILL BE A DAY OF ACCOMPLISHMENT, AN EVEN OF REWARD AND PUNISHMENT FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE EVER BEEN IN EXISTENCE IN THE UNIVERSE, IN OUR WORLD OR ANY OTHER WORLD. IN THIS REGARD HOLY QURAN GUIDES US ON THE CONTINUATION OF THE HUMAN SOUL, DEATH BEING ONLY A TRANSFORMATION FOR IT.

QURAN SAYS ABOUT OUR REBIRTH

 

                      HOLY QURAN SAYS ABOUT EARTH

                                                                                👀

                         A VERY RADICAL IDEA ABOUT NATURE, DERIVED FROM THE HOLY QURAN IS THAT ALL THINGS ARE OBSERVANT OF THE EVENTS HAPPENING AROUND THEM. THEY HAVE A MEMORY SYSTEM OF THEIR OWN WITH WHICH THEY GO ON RECORDING THE EVENTS, AND BY PROPER MEANS, THESE COULD POSSIBLY BE DECIPHERED ALSO. ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT EVEN OUR OWN BODY ATOMS, AND THE ATOMS OF THE ENVIROMENT WE LIVE IN, WILL BE WITNESS ON US.

                          IN THIS RESPECT THE HOLY QURAN POINTS OUT THAT OUR VOICES, MOVEMENTS AND ACTIONS ARE POINTED IN THE SURROUNDING ENVIROMENT. EARTH IS THE CUSTODIAN OF OUR HISTORY, WHICH WILL RELATE IT ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT. THUS NOTHING WILL REMAIN HIDDEN. ALTHOUGH ALLAH KNOWS, SEES, AND HEARS EVERYTHING CONCERNING EACH ONE OF US, BUT ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT, HE WILL CALL OUR SURROUNDINGS IN LIFE IN THE WORLD AS WITNESS UPON US, LEAVING NO EXCUSE FOR US IN THIS RESPECT, IN THIS REGARD FOLLOWING VERSES ARE HIGHLY MEANINGFUL. IN THEIR LIGHT WE WILL ANALYSE THE POSSIBILITY OF HOW OUR DEEDS ARE BEING RECORDED AND ON THE DAY OF ACCOUNTABILITY, HOW THESE WILL BE BROUGHT FORTH AS WITNESS AGAINST US.

                                                                              ❤

                            WHEN EARTH IS SHAKEN,

                           TO HER UTMOST CONVULSIONS,

                           AND THE EARTH YIELDS UP HER BURDENS,

                           AND MAN SAYS,

                          WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH HER,

                          ON THE DAY,

                          SHE WILL RELATE HER CHRONICLES,

                           BECAUSE THY LORD INSPIRES HER

                       HOLY PROPHET, MUHAMMED, MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM, IN EXPLANATION TO THIS VERSE TOLD. "EARTH IS THE WITNESS OF OUR DEEDS, IT HAS NO EYES BUT CAN SEE, IT HAS NO PEN BUT WRITES, IT HAS NO BRAIN BUT REMEMBERS.

                        FOLLOWING VERSES OF THE QURAN HIGHLIGHT THAT EVEN OUR LIMBS, HANDS, FEET AND SKIN, ARE SPIES ON US, WHICH KEEP ON RECORDING OUR DEEDS AND WILL RELATE THEM ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT.

                          

                                         ON THAT DAY,

                                          WE SHALL SEAL UP THEIR MOUTHS,

                                         AND THEIR HANDS WILL SPEAK OUT,

                                         THEIR FEET WILL BEAR WITNESS,

                                          TO WHAT THEY USED TO EARN.

                                                                      👀

                          AT LENGTH WHEN THEY REACH THEIR JUDGEMENT,

                          THEIR HEARING, THEIR SIGHT AND THEIR SKINS,

                          ALL WILL BEAR WITNESS AGAINST THEM".

                    

                                                                              ❤

                                              THEY WILL SAY TO THEIR SKIN,

                                               WHY BEAR YOU WITNESS AGAINST US?

                                               IT WILL SAY,

                                                ALLAH HAS GIVEN US SPEECH,

                                                HE WHO GIVES SPEECH OF EVERYTHING.

                                                 HE CREATED YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME.

                                                 AND UNTO HIM YOU WILL RETURN".

TIME-SPACE AND MIND

 

                               NOTHING IS POSSIBLE

                             WITHOUT YOUR INPUT

                   THE HYPOTHESIS OF "MIND OF MASTER" LEADS ONE OF THE TRINITY OF TIME-SPACE AND MIND " AS THE REGULATING MECHANISM IN THE UNIVERSE. TO UNDERSTAND THIS US REALIZE THAT NOTHING IS POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE INPUT OF TIME AND SPACE. AN EVIL WILL TAKE PLACE ONLY IF YOU GIVE IT TIME TO HAPPEN, BUT WHAT CONTROLS THE VARIOUS FORCES LEADING TO THE OCCURRENCE OF THAT EVENT, IS THE MIND OF THE MATTER, THE MIND WHICH KNOWS THE LAWS OF NATURE. WE MAY SAY THAT MIND GUIDES THE THINGS TO THEIR NATURAL BEHAVIOR. TOGETHER, THE INTERACTION OF "TIME-SPACE AND MIND" PRODUCES THE EVENTS. ULTIMATELY SINCE TIME, SPACE AND MIND ARE THE CREATION OF ALLAH, THEREFORE IT IS ALLAH WHO CONSCIOUSLY WILL EVERYTHING.

                        LET US ILLUSTRATE THIS IDEA WITH THE EXAMPLE OF FORMATION OF WATER. IN THIS EXAMPLE, GIVEN THE INPUT OF TIME AND SPACE, HYDRODGEN AND OXYGEN CAN REACT TOGETHER, BUT IT IS THE MIND OF THESE ATOMS WHICH UNDER THE GIVEN CONDITIONS DIRECTS, H2 AND O2 TO FORM WATER AND NOT ANY OTHER THING. SAME LOGIC IS TRUE FOR EVERY OTHER COMPOUND OF MATTER. THUS MIND IS THE ABILITY OF A THING TO RECOGNIZE AND REACT TO ITS ENVIRONMENT. THINGS AT HIGHER STAGE OF LIVING HAVE HIGHER DEGREE OF MIND. AT THE HIGHEST DEGREE IT IS MANIFESTED BY THE CHARACTERISTICS CALLED "FREE WILL". THE MIND GIVES AWARENESS WHICH GUIDES THINGS TO THEIR NATURAL BEHAVIOR, TIME AND SPACE PROVIDE THEM WITH THE BASIS OF THEIR EXISTENCE. EVENTS THUS FIRST OF ALL TAKE SHAPE IN THE MIND OF THINGS AND THERE FROM THEY ARE TRANSFORMED INTO PHYSICAL FORMS. A SUPERIOR MIND CAN GUIDE AN INFERIOR MIND. HUMAN BEINGS WHO HAVE THE MOST DEVELOPED MIND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GUIDE ALL OTHER THINGS. THUS PREDOMINANCE OF MIND OVER MATTER EXPLAINS, WHY METAL PHYSICAL CAUSES SHOULD PRECEDE PHYSICAL CAUSES, AND HOW THE PHYSICAL MISFORTUNES AND CATASTROPHIES THAT BEFALL INDIVIDUALS, SOCIETIES AND NATIONS, WE TRIGGERED BY THEIR MORAL DEGRADATIONS AND WICKED DEEDS?

                       HIGHER ANIMALS HAVE HIGHER FREE WILL , AND MAN WHO IS THE SUPREME AMONG THE LIVING BEINGS, HAS THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF FREE WILL WILL, I.E. THE MOST DEVELOPED MIND AMONG THE THINGS ON THE EARTH.

                          INTERACTIONS OF TIME-SPACE AND MIND" IS GOING ON SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING. IN ABSOLUTE TERMS, THESE THREE ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD ALSO, MANIFESTATIONS OF WHICH IS THE UNIVERSE, IN THE FIRST PLACE, THEY GAVE BIRTH TO ENERGY. THEREAFTER THEY REGULATED IT AND TRANSFORMED IT INTO MATTER. THROUGH THEIR INTERACTION EACH THING IS CONNECTED WITH THE PROVIDENT.

                           HE IS THE FIRST,

                          AND THE LAST,

                          (I.E. HE IS TIME HIMSELF)

                          HE IS THE OUTERMOST,

                          AND THE INNER MOST,

                          (I.E. HE IS THE SPACE HIMSELF)

                          AND HE KNOWS EVERY THING ABSOLUTELY.

HOW TO SAVE THE SOUL (THE HOLY QURAN SAYS)

 

               

                        MANIFESTATION OF THE LIFE

                      LIFE OF THE PLANTS, ANIMALS AND OF THE HUMAN BEINGS IS THE OUTCOME OF THE ORDER IN THE ATOMS COMPRISING THEIR MOLECULES, CELL STRUCTURES, AND COMBINATION OF THESE CELLS INTO THEIR BODY FORMS. WHAT WE CALL DEATH, IS THE DISINTEGRATION OF THIS ORDER. AN ANOLOGY OF THIS IS A NUCLEAR REACTOR. IN IT ALTHOUGH, EACH PARTICLE OF URANIUM ALL THE TIMES RADIATES, BUT REACTOR AS A WHOLE BEGINS TO GENERATE LARGE AMOUNT OF ENERGY ONLY WHEN A CRITICAL MASS OF URANIUM IS ARRANGED IN A CERTAIN ORDER. NAME OF THIS ORDER IS THE NUCLEAR REACTOR.

                     QURAN QUOTES HIM SAYING :

                    I HAVE COME TO YOU (O' PEOPLE)

                    WITH A SIGN FROM YOUR LORD.

                    IN THAT, I MAKE FOR YOU OUT OF CLAY,

                    AS IT WERE A FIGURE OF A BIRD,

                    AND BREATH INTO IT,

                    AND THEN IT BECOMES A (LIVING) BIRD,

                    BY ALLAH'S LEAVE

                                    DEGREES OF LIFE

                      THE HYPOTHESIS THT ATOM IS THE FUNDAMENTAL UNIT OF LIFE, CAN EXPLAIN THE BASIS OF THE LIFE, FOR IT IS CLEAR THAT NO COMBINATION OF DEAD ATOMS COULD HAVE CREATED LIFE BY THEMSELVES. IN THIS CONCEPT DIFFERENT MANIFESTATION OF LIE AT VARIOUS LEVELS OF DEVELOPMENT ARE ACTUALLY THE OUTCOME OF DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS OF ATOMS. ACCORDINGLY, COMPLEX MOLECULES ARE AT HIGHER STATES IN THE MANIFESTATION OF LIFE THAN THE SIMPLER ONES. THUS WE CAN SAY THAT ORGANIC COMPOUNDS ARE MORE ALIVE THAN THE INORGANIC ONES, AND WITHIN RANGE OF THE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS ALSO, MOLECULES OF THE MORE COMPLEX COMPOUNDS REPRESENT A STILL HIGHER DEGREE OF EXISTENCE. A MINO ACIDS WHICH ARE MADE OF COMPLEX COMBINATION OF ATOMS, REPRESENT FURTHER HIGHER STATES OF EXISTENCE.

                       A LIVING CELL IS A MARVEL OF DESIGN, COMPLEXITY AND SOPHISTICATION AND THEREFORE, IT IS MORE DYNAMIC THAN THE AMINO ACIDS. SIMILARLY THE CELLS OF ANIMALS ARE MORE COMPLEX THAN THE CELLS OF PLANTS. AND THE CELLS OF A MAN ARE MUCH MORE DEVELOPTED THAN THE CELLS OF PLANTS, AND THE CELLS OF A MAN ARE MUCH MORE DEVELOPED THAN THE CELLS OF ANIMALS. THUS, EACH ONE IS RELATIVELY AT A HIGHER DEGREE OF LIFE, BUT IN EVERY CASE, THE RESULTANT LIFE IS THE OUTCOME OF THE UNIT LIVES OF THEIR ATOMS. 

                                MINDS OF THE MATTER

                          NOW WE COME TO ANOTHER BASIS QUESTION : WHAT FORCES MATTER TO OBEY THE RULES OF NATURE? FOR EXAMPLE, WHY HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN UNDER THE GIVEN CONDITIONS, ALWAYS REACT TOGETHER TO PRODUCE WATER? SAME CAN BE ASKED FOR EVERY OTHER CHEMICAL REACTION. CAN IT BE THAT MATTER AT ITS VERY ELEMENTARY LEVELS KNOWS WHAT TO DO UNDER THE GIVEN CONDITONS? AS WE HAVE DISCUSSED EARLIER, ALL THINGS, SMALL OR BIG, DO RECOGNIZE THEIR CREATOR, AND ARE CONSCIOUS OF HIS WILL I.E, THE LAWS IMPOSED BY HIM ON HIS CREATIONS.

                     THIS MEANS THAT MATTER AT ALL LEVELS HAS A "MIND" OF ITS OWN. RECONITION AND AWARENESS OF THE LAWS OF NATURE IS THE CRUX OF LIFE. THUS EACH ATOM IS A LIVING BODY WITH MIND OF ITS OWN. IF LIFE GIVES THEM DYNAMISM, MIND GIVES THEM SENSE OF DIRECTION I.E INTELLIGENCE. CHARACTERISTICS OF A THING IS THE MANIFESTATION OF ITS, "MIND". UNIVERSE IS THUS AN ORGANISM WHOSE EACH COMPONENT, THE SMALLEST AND THE BIGGEST, HAS A BUILT-IN MIND OR A GUIDANCE SYSTEM, WHICH GOVERNS ITS BEHAVIOUR, AND GIVES IT NATURE AND FORM. THE HOLY QURAN HINTS UPON THIS BY SAYING:

                         "OUR LORD IS HE,

                         WHO GAVE EACH THING,

                         ITS FORM AND NATURE,

                         AND GAVE IT GUIDANCE"

THE REVERSE EARTH DOOMSDAY

 

                                    EARTH DOOMSDAY

                         IT IS POSSIBLE TO CORRECTLY PREDICT ANY PHASE OF THE DOOMSDAY. ITS KNOWLEDGE IS WITH ALLAH ONLY. HOWEVER, A THINKING MIND CAN ANALYSE ITS COMING WITH A GOOD GUESS. SCIENTISTS CAN SEE IT COMING THROUGH THEIR EYE. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE ORDINARY PEOPLE? SOMEHOW, THEY SHOULD ALSO BE ABLE TO SEE THAT PROMISE OF ALLAH IS BOUND TO HAPPEN. TO HELP EVERYONE, THE LAST OF THE MESSENGERS OF ALLAH, (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) TOLD IN CLEAR TERMS ABOUT VARIOUS EVENTS AND AFFAIRS OF THE WORLD NEAR ITS DOOMSDAY. THESE ARE MATTERS OF COMMON OBSERVATIONS WHICH DO NOT NEED THE BRAIN OF A SCIENTIST OR THE EYE OF A MYSTIC. ALL OF US CAN SEE THEM ALIKE. THE ONLY IMPORTANT THING WOULD BE WHETHER, WE LEARN A LESSON ALIKE. THE ONLY IMPORTANT THING WOULD BE WHETHER, WE LEARN A LESSON FROM THEM OR KEEP OUR MINDS SHUT TILL WE ALSO SEE OUR END.

                   THE TRANSLATION IS AS FOLLOWS.

                             1. PRAYERS WILL BE NEGLECTED,

                            2. CARNAL DESIRES WILL BE PURSUED.

                            3. TRANSGRESSORS WILL BECOME LEADERS,

                            4. IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO DISTINGUISH THE 

                                TRUTHFUL FROM THE FALSE

                            5. TELLING LIES WILL BECOME DESIRABLE,

                            6. PAYMENT OF ZAKAT WILL BE TAKEN AS A BURDEN.

                            7. THE BELIEVER WILL BE DEEMED THE MOST DISGRACEFUL OF PEOPLE AND HE WILL BE PAINED AT SEEING EVILS (ALL ROUND) AND HIS HEART WILL MELT AS SALT IN WATER BUT HE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SAY ANYTHING.

                           8. RAIN WILL DO NO GOOD, FOR IT WILL FALL 

                              OUT OF SEASON, 

                           9. MALES WILL COMMIT ADULTERY WITH MALES, AND 

                               FEMALES WITH FEMALES.

                           10. WOMEN WILL DOMINATE OVER MEN,

                           11. OFF SPRING WILL DISOBEY THEIR PARENTS, 

                           12. A FRIEND WILL TREAT HIS FRIEND BADLY.

                           13. SINS WILL BE TAKEN LIGHTLY

                           14. MOSQUES WILL HAVE EXTERNAL DECORATIONS AND BEAUTY. THERE WILL BE WORSHIPPERS TOO BUT THERE WILL BE HYPOCRISY AND MUTUAL ENMITY IN THEIR HEARTS.

                           15. THEN WILL APPEAR A PEOPLE FROM THE WEST 

                            (MAGHRIB) WHO WILL DOMINATE THE WEAK 

                             AMONGST MY PEOPLE.

                          16. PEOPLE WILL PRODUCE (COPIES OF) THE HOLY QURAN 

                                IN LETTERS OF GOLD BUT WILL NOT ACT UPON IT.

                            17. THE QURAN WILL BE RECITED IN MELODIOUS WAY,

                            18. USURY WILL BECOME RAMPANT,

                            19. HUMAN BLOOD WILL HAVE LITTLE VALUE

                            20. RELIGION WILL HAVE NO HELPERS.

                            21. SINGING WOMEN WILL BE ON THE INCREASE,

                            22. THE RICH WILL PERFORM THE HAJJ AS A PASTIME,

                       THE PEOPLE OF THE MIDDLE CLASS WILL DO SO TO CONDUCT BUSINESS AND THE POOR TO BEG (FOR CHARITY) .

MECHANICS OF THE UNIVERSAL DOOMS DAY

    

                             THE UNIVERSAL DOOMS DAY

                                         A STUDENT OF HOLY QURAN CAN NOT AGREE WITH MANY POINTS GIVEN THE SCIENTIFIC DESCRIPTION OF THE END OF THE UNIVERSE, PARTICULARLY THE LINEAR-TIME SCALES OF FANTASTIC PERIODS EXTENDING AS FAR AS 10 YEARS BASED UPON THE EVOLUNTARY NATURE OF THE END OF THE UNIVERSE. AS DISCUSSED EARLIER, IN ITS VARIOUS REVELATIONS THE QURAN CLEARLY SPEAKS OF THE TERMINATION OF THE PRESENT ORDER SUDDENLY. HOWEVER, SIMILARITIES IN THE SCIENTIFIC ACCOUNT OF THE EVENTS AND THE SCENARIO OF THE DOOMSDAY AS SEEN FROM THE HOLY QURAN, SHOULD BE OF INTEREST TO BOTH THE SCIENTIST AND THE STUDENT OF THE HOLY QURAN. ONE SHOULD CAREFULLY REFLECT INTO THE FOLLOWING VERSES OF THE DIVINE BOOK AND THEN LOOK BACK INTO THE ACCOUNT OF JAMES TREFIL. ONE WONDERS WHO HAS BEEN THE FIRST IN DESCRIBING THE END OF THE UNIVERSE. SCIENCE OF TODAY OR THE QURAN REVEALED IN THE 7TH CENTURY AD. IT SAYS :

                                ( THINK OF THE EVENT )

                             1. WHEN THE SUN IS FOLDED UP,

                             2. WHEN THE STARS FALL DARKEN,

                             3. AND WHEN THE MOUNTAINS (PLANETS)

                                  LOITER AWAY FROM THEIR POSITIONS.

                             4. THEN TEN MONTH PREGNANT CAMEL IS ABANDONED.

                             5. THE WILD BEASTS STAMPED ON THE RUN.

                             6. WHEN THE OCEANS SURGE AND SWELL.

                             7. WHEN THE SOULS ARE RE-UNITED.

                             8. AND WHEN THE INFANT GIRL BURIED ALIVE IS ASKED.

                             9. FOR WHAT CRIME SHE WAS PUT TO DEATH?

                            10. WHEN THE LEDGERS ARE LAID OPEN.

                            11. AND WHEN THE SKY IS TOM APART,

                            12. AND WHEN THE HELL IS LIGHTED.

                            13. AND WHEN THE JANNAT IS BROUGHT NIGH

                            14. THEN EVERY SOUL WILL KNOW, WHAT IS HAS 

                                  MADE READY.

                   THE FOLLOWING VERSES DEPICT ANOTHER SCENARIO OF THE

                   IMPENDING FATE.

                          1. WHEN THE HEAVEN IS CLEFT ASUNDER,

                          2. WHEN THE PLANETS ARE DISPERSED,

                          3. WHEN THE SEAS ARE POURED FORTH.

                          4. WHEN SEPULCHERS ARE OVERTURNED.

                          5. A SOUL WILL KNOW

                          6. WHAT IT HAS SENT BEFORE

                          7. WHAT LEFT BEHIND...

                        WHILE DESCRIBING THESE GREAT REALITIES OF THE COMING FATE, THED BEAUTY OF THE QURAN IT NEVER MISSESS SIGHT OF ITS PRIME OBJECTIVE, THAT IS TO WARN MANKIND TO SAVE THEIR SOULS FROM THE STERN REALITIES OF THE LIFE TO COME, THE FATE WHICH ENTIRELY DEPENDS UPON THE WAY WE PASS THE BRIEF PERIOD OF OUR STAY IN THIS WORLD. THE SCENE OF THE FALLING OF STARS, DISPERSAL OF PLANETS, OVERTURNING OF SEPULCHERS, CLEFT ASUNDERING OF HEAVEN, FOLDING OF SUN, IS NOT LESS HAIR RAISING, BUT MORE SO IS THE QUESTION, WHAT A SOUL HAS SENT BEFORE AND WHAT LEFT BEHIND, BECAUSE ANSWER TO IT IS GOING TO DECIDE OUR JOURNEY TO INFINITY, ONCE THE THINGS GET RESETTLED AFTER THE UNIVERSAL DOOMSDAY.
