NOTES ABOUT EARTHQUAKES

   

                                   

                     MOUNTAINS TURNING INTO SAND

                     ANOTHER DRAMATIC FEATURE OF THE DOOMSDAY UNDERSTOOD FROM HOLY QURAN IS THAT, DURING THIS PHASE, ALL HIGH GROUNDS, HILLS, MOUTAINS AND VALLEYS ON THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH WILL BE LEVELLED OF, MOUNTAINS TURNING INTO DUST FLYING ALL AROUND. EARTH WILL THEN REDUCE INTO A BARREN MOUND OF RUBBLE. IN THIS CONTEXT THE FOLLOWING VERSES NEED CAREFUL ANALYSIS:

                                            👀

                                  THEY ASK THEE CONCERNING

                                 THE MOUNTAINS,

                                SAY, MY LORD WILL BREAK THEM,

                               AND SCATTER THEM AS DUST,

                               HE WILL RENDER (EARTH)

                               PLAIN, SMOOTH AND LEVEL.

                              NOTHING CROOKED

                              WI! THOU SEE IN THEIR PLACE.

                                                👀

                               THOU SEE THE MOUNTAINS,

                               AND THINK THEM FIRMLY FIXED.

                              BUT THEY SHALL PASS AWAY,

                              AS THE CLOUDS PASS AWAY.

                                AND THE MOUNTAINS,

                               THEY WILL BECOME LIKE

                               CARDED WOOL!

                          THE SAME PHENOMENA OF THE EARTH'S DOOMSDAY IS EXPLAINED MORE EXPLICITY IN THE FOLLOWING VERSES:

                                              👀

                                  WHEN THE EVENT (OF DOOM) FALLS,

                               THERE IS NO DENYING THAT IT WILL BEFALL,

                               ABASHING, EXALTING.

                               EARTH IS SHAKEN AGAIN AND AGAIN,

                               AND THE HILLS ARE CRUMBLED TO ATOMS,

                               BECOMING DUST SCATTERED ABROAD".

                       HOW CAN WE EXPLAIN THE MEANINGS OF THESE VERSES? HOW ARE THE MOUNTAINS GOING TO CRUMBLE AND FLY? HOW IS THE EARTH GOING TO BE GROUNDED TO POWDER? THESE QUESTIONS NEED TO BE ANALYSED TO UNDERSTAND THE MECHANICS OF THE EARTH'S DOOMSDAY.

                      UNDER ORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES, WE ARE AWARE OF THE SLOW DECAYING PROCESS OF ROCKS. NATURE'S AGENTS, SUCH AS WIND, RAIN, PLANTS, TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS AND CHEMICAL REATIONS, ALL HELP IN BREAKING DOWN OF ROCKS. SAND AND SILT IN RIVERS ACTUALLY COME FROM THE CRUMBLING OF MOUNTAINS. BUT THE DESTRUCTIVE SCENARIO DEPICTED BY THE ABOVE VERSES HAS NO PROPORTION TO ANY ORDINARY PROCESSESS OF DECAY. THEY TAKE AGES TO COMPLETE. THEREFORE PROCESSESS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONSEQUENCES MENTIONED IN THE ABOVE QUOTED VERSES MUST BE MUCH MORE POWERFUL.

                        MECHANISM OF EXTREME EARTHQUAKES, THE VIBRATION AND GRINDING OF THE EARTH MASSESS, EXPLOSIVE RELEASE OF ENERGY AND THE FLYING OF THE MOUNTAINS INTO PIECES, CAN ALSO BE EXPLAINED BY THE HYPOTHESIS OF THE EXPLODING OF THE INTERNAL CORE OF THE EARTH. IT IS KNOWN THAT THE INTERIOR OF THE EARTH IS SUBJECT OF EXTREMELY HIGH PRESSURES, WHICH REST IN DELICATE EQUILIBRIUM. IN THIS RESPECT IT IS LIKE A SUPER HIGH PRESSURE VESSEL. IF THIS EQUILIBRIUM IS DISTURBED THE EARTH COULD EXPLODE LIKE A BOMB, WITH TREMENDOUS RELEASE OF ENERGY, COMBINED WITH EXTREME DEGREE OF VIBRATIONS, HIGH PRESSURE WAVES, SHAKE UPS AND THE EXPLOSIVE FLYING OF THE EARTH'S CRUST AND ITS MOUNTAINS IN SPACE.

                                   EARTHQUAKES AND GREAT COMMOTION

                          ONE OF THE MOST OBVIOUS FEATURES OF THE EARTH'S DOOMSDAY, UNDERSTOOD FROM THE HOLY QURAN AND FROM THE SAYINGS OF THE HOLY PROPHET IS THAT DURING THIS PHASE, THE EARTH WILL EXPERIENCE TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKES, MIGHTLY CONVULSIONS AND SEVERE VIBRATIONS, THAT WILL BREAK THE CRUST OF THE EARTH, AND, DESTROY ALL STRUCTURES AND MOUNTAINS. THEN VOLCANOES WILL BURST OVER WITH THE INTERNAL MOLTEN LAVA GUSHING OUT EVERYWHERE. THIS TERRIBLE SCENE IS VISUALIZED FROM THE FOLLOWING VERSES. 

                                          👀

                                               WHEN THE EARTH,

                                               IS SHAKEN AGAIN AND AGAIN,

                                             TO HER UTMOST CONVULSIONS,

                                            AND IT THROWS UP

                                           HER BURDEN FROM WITHIN (ITS CORE)

                            DESCRIPTION OF THE EARTH BEING "SHAKEN AGAIN AND AGAIN" IS UNDERSTOOD TO INDICATE A CONTINUOUS SERIES OF EARTHQUAKES OF SEVERE MAGNITUDE. THE EARTH THROWS UP ITS BURDEN FROM WITHIN CRUST OF THE EARTH WILL ALSO BREAK APART. EVEN THE HEAVIER MATTER FROM THE CORE OF THE EARTH WILL BURST OUT. CURRENT SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE HAS ESTABLISHED THAT EARTHQUAKES OF INTENSITY OF ABOUT EIGHT ON RICHTER SCALE ARE HIGHLY DESASTROUS FOR ALL TYPES OF MAN-MADE STRUCTURES. AT NINE AND OVER, EARTH'S CRUST OPENS UP WITH THE BREAKING OF MOUNTAINS AND THE DISSAPPEARANCE OF RIVERS. THIS CAN TRIGGER OFF LARGE SCALE VOLCANIC ACTIVITY ALSO. WITH THE REPEATED EARTHQUAKES OF INTENSITY OVER NINE, THE EART WILL BE LEVELLED OFF, WITH EVERYTHING UPSIDE DOWN.

                    HOWEVER, A REFLECTION INTO THE VERSES GIVEN BELOW INDICATE THAT THE STATE OF THE EARTH DURING ITS DOOMSDAY IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE WORSE THAN WHAT COULD BE CAUSED BY THE SIMPLE ACTION OF EARTHQUAKES. IT HAS BEEN SAID :

                                            👀

                                                ON THAT DAY'            

                                           EVERYTHING THAT

                                          CAN BE IN COMMOTION,

                                           WILL BEIN COMMOTION,

                                          FOLLOWED BY OFT-REPEATED

                                          COMMOTION".

                              FURTHER TO THIS, VERSE 89 POINTS TO THE SCENE OF THE EARTH BREAKING INTO SMALL PIECES.

                                            👀

                                                 NAY, BUT WHEN

                                           THE EARTH IS GROUND TO ATOMS,

                                           GRINDING ON GRINDING".

SUN AND MOON JOIN TOGETHER

 

                     

                               THE FATE OF THE MOON

                   THE MOON IS OUR CLOSEST NEIGHBOUR, SOME 3,84,000 KILOMETERS AWAY. THE THING OF BEAUTY. ITS PULL REGULATES THE SEA TIDES, THUS HELPING MARINE LIFE FOR US. IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE LIFELESS BUT SOMETIMES VALCANOES DO ERUPT ON IT. THE MOON IS ALSO BOMBARED BY METERORITIES THAT HAVE COVERED IT WITH DUST AND POROUS GLASSY MATTER. MOON IS AN ALIEN TO THE EARTH. CAPTURE HYPOTHESIS (1955) SUGGESTS THAT THE MOON WAS BORN SOMEWHERE FAR AWAY FROM THE EARTH IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM, AND BY CHANCE IT HAD HAPPENED ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO. THERE AFTER, IT CONTINUED GETTING CLOSER TO THE EARTH, AND CAME CLOSET ABOUT 1.2 BILLION YEARS AGO. AT THAT TIME IT IS ESTIMATED THAT IT WAS JUST 1,80,000 KM FROM THE EARTH. THEN IT BEGAN TO DRIFT AWAY FROM IT. HOWEVER, THE REASON OF THIS REVERSAL IS NOT WELL UNDERSTOOD. NOW IT IS 3,84,000 KM AWAY FROM US THIS, EVENTUALLY. EARTH WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HOLD ITS MOON, AND THEN IT MAY FALL INTO THE SUN. AT THE CURRENT RATE OF 3 CM ANNUAL DRIFT IT CAN HAPPEN IN ABOUT 5 BILLION YEARS FROM NOW, BUT DUE TO SOME EXTERNAL CAUSES, THIS MAY OCCUR MUCH EARLIER. THE PHENOMENA OF MOON JOINING THE SUN WAS PREDICTED BY THE HOLY QURAN IS ITS VERSES 75, MAY CENTURIES EARLIER THAN THE SCIENTIFIC SPECULATIONS OF TODAY.

                           THE QUESTION IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE MOON, DURING THE DOOMSDAY? SHALL IT REMAIN TACT OR DESTROYED LIKE THE EARTH? THE HOLY QURAN IS NOT SILENT ON THIS QUESTION ALSO. WE FINDOUT FROM THE QURAN THAT MOON WILL NOT SURVIVE THE DOOMSDAY. IN FACT IT MIGHT MEET ITS FINAL END EVEN BEFORE THE EARTH. IN THE FOLLOWING WE SHALL LOOK INTO THE GREATEST UPHEAVELS RELATED TO THE MOON BEFORE THE ACTUAL DOOMSDAY.

                          (1) THE CATCHING OF THE MOON BY THE SUN.

                            A VERY SPECIAL EVENT OF THE DOOMSDAY AS SEEN FROM THE HOLY QURAN, IS THAT THE MOON WILL ESCAPE THE GRAVITATIONAL PULL OF THE EARTH AND CAUGHT BY THE SUN. IN THIS REGARD REVELATION 75 IS HIGHLY THOUGHT PROVOKING, WHICH SAYS:

                             WHEN THE MOON IS BURIED IN DARKNESS,

                             AND, THE SUN AND THE MOON

                             ARE JOINED TOGETHER

                         THE MOON IS OUR CLOSEST NEIGHBOUR SOME 384,000 KILOMETERS AWAY. A THING OF BEAUTY, ITS PULL REGULATES THE SEA TIMES, THUS HELPING MARINE LIFE FOR US. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT LIFE BUT SOMETIMES VALCANOES DO ERUPT ON IT. THE MOON IS ALSO BOMBARDED BY METEORITES AND IT COVERED WITH DUST AND POROUS GLASSY MATTER. MOON IS AN ALIEN TO THE EARTH. THE LATES "CAPTURE" HYPOTHESIS (1955) SUGGESTS THAT THE MOON WAS BORN SOMEWHERE FAR AWAY FROM THE EARTH IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM, AND BY CHANCE, IT CAME NEARERS TO THE EARTH, AND WAS THEN CAUGHT BY IT. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT IT WAS CAPTURED ABOUT 5 BILLION YEARS AGO AND CAME CLOSEST TO THE EARTH ABOUT 1.2 BILLION YEARS AGO. AT THAT TIME IT IS ESTIMATED THAT IT WAS JUST 1,80,000 KM FROM THE EARTH WHEREAS NOW IT IS SOME 3,84,000 KM AWAY FROM THE EARTH. ITS ORBIT IS NOW BECOMING WIDER AT THE RATE OF ABOUT 3 CM A YEAR. EVENTUALLY, THE EARTH WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HOLD THE MOON, AND THEN IT WILL FALL IN THE SUN. LINEARLY, IT MAY HAPPEN IN ABOUT 5 BILLION YEARS FROM NOW BUT DUE TO SOME EXTERNAL CAUSES, IT COULD OCCUR MUCH EARLIER. THE PHENOMENON OF THE MOON JOINING THE SUN IS PREDICTED BY THE VERSES OF THE QURAN 75 REVEALED  MANY CENTURIES EARLIER THAN THE SCIENTIFIC SPECULATION OF TODAY.

                      THE BREAKING OF THE MOON INTO PIECES

                  ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT EVEN ABOUT MOON RELATED TO THE EARTH'S DOOMSDAY IS REVEALED IN VERSE 54, WHICH IS THAT DURING THIS PERIOD THE MOON WILL SPLIT INTO PIECES. THIS WILL BE OF THE GREAT SIGNS OF THE APPROACHING END OF THE EARTH ALSO. IT IS REVEALED :

                         (THINK THAT) THE 

                         HOUR OF THE JUDGEMENT DRAWS NEAR,

                         AND THE MOON,

                         WILL BE SPLIT ASUNDER".

                      WHAT WILL BREAK THE MOON? SEVERAL CAUSES CAN ALSO BE ASSIGNED TO THIS HAPPENING. FOR EXAMPLE, IT MIGHT HAPPEN DUE TO THE STRIKE OF SOME LARGE METER FROM OUTSIDE WHICH WOULD BREAK-UP ITS CRUST. HOWEVER, IT IS MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN DUE TO EXPLOSION WITHIN ITS OWN CORE, SUCH AS A VIOLENT MOON QUAKE. THIS COULD BREAK APART THE MOON INTO TWO OR MORE PIECES. WHICH OF COURSE MIGHT REJOIN, FOR THE VERSES DOES NOT SPEAK OF HE MOON BEING PERMENTLY SPLIT ASUNDER.

THE NEW BEGINNING OF UNIVERSE

 

                 

                              THE SECOND BEGINNING: 

                                     THE NEW UNIVERSE

                              IT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED IN THIS CHAPTER THAT THE DOOMSDAY OF THE EARTH IS BUT JUST OF ONE OF A SERIES OF SUCH CATASTROPHIC EVENTS WHICH REGULARLY OCCUR AMONG THE INNUMERABLE WORLDS LIKE IT, IN THIS EXTREMELY VAST UNIVERSE. ON A UNIVERSAL SCALE, SUCH EVENTS MAY BE TERMED AS BEING MERELY MINOR DISTURBANCES IN THE VASTNESS OF THE COSMOS. IN FACT, THE EARTH'S DOOMSDAY WILL BE OF LITTLE SIGNIFICANCE EVEN IN OUR OWN MILKY WAY, WHICH IS BUT ONE OUT OF MILLIONS OF GALAXIES IN HEAVENS, WHICH IS THOUGHT TO HAVE WELL OVER A BILLION SOLAR SYSTEMS LIKE OURS. MANY OF THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A LIFE SUPPORTING WORLD LIKE OURS. EACH ONE OF THEM, IN THEIR TURN, WILL HAVE ITS DAY OF ACCOUNTABILITY.

                         THE GENERAL PRINCIPLE GIVEN IN THE DIVINE BOOK IS THAT PROCESS OF CHANGE IS THE STANDING REALITY OF THE UNIVERSE.

                         EACH DAY HE IS IN NEW SPLENDOUR.

                          IN THIS PROCESS, THE UNWANTED ONES ARE ROOED OUT AT THEIR TURN TO GIVE ROOM TO THE NEW CREATIONS. IT HAS BEEN SAID :

                       ARE THOU NOT AWARE OF THE FACT

                             THAT ALLAH HAS CREATED THE 

                      HEAVENS AND THE EARTH

                               IN ACCORDANCE WITH A DIVINE PURPOSE ?

                       HE CAN, IF HE SO WILLS, DO AWAY WITH YOU,

                               AND BRING FORTH AN ENTIRELY NEW CREATION,

                         IT IS NOT DIFFICULT FOR ALLAH

                  ULTIMATELY, THERE WILL COME THE TIME WHEN THE WHOLE OF THE PRESENT UNIVERSE WILL SEE ITS END. THAT WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF THE REVERSAL OF TIME AND SPACE, AND PHASE CHANGE FROM EXPANSION TO CONTRACTION. THAT WILL MARK THE BEGINNING OF THE "ULTIMATE DOOMSDAY" THE IMPLOSION OF WHICH WOULD RESULT INTO RE-EXPLOSION OF THE CONTRACTING UNIVERSE.

                   THAT WILL SOUND TO THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW UNIVERSE.

                   THE PROCESS OF REBUILDING AFTER ULTIMATE DOOMSDAY IS POINTED OUT BY THE HOLY QURAN IN THE FOLLOWING VERSES.

                                  AS WE BEGAN THE FIRST CREATION

                                  SURELY WE SHALL REPEAT IT,

                                 IT IS A PROMISE UPON US,

                                LO! WE ARE TO PERFORM IT.

 

  

                 IT SHOULD ALSO BE OF SCIENTIFIC INTEREST THAT THE RECREATED UNIVERSE WILL NOT BE A REPLICA OF THE PRESENT ONE, BUT A GRAND SYSTEM OF NEDW HEAVENLY BODIES, VERY MUCH DIFFERENT FROM THE PRESENT ONE. THE EARTH WILL NOT BE THE SAME AND THE HEAVEN OF THE NEW UNIVERSE WILL NOT BE THE HEAVEN OF THIS UNIVERSE. IN THIS RESPECT THE FOLLOWING REVELATION IS HIGHLY MEANINGFUL.

                                      ON THAT DAY

                                      THE EARTH WILL BE CHANGED,

                                      TO A DIFFERENT EARTH,

                                     AND SO WILL BE THE HEAVENS.

  

                           WE ALSO SEE FROM THE HOLY QURAN THAT THE NEW UNIVERSE WILL BE DIVISIBLE INTO THREE BROAD REGIONS. PARADISE . THE HEIGHT AND HELL. PARADISE WILL BE THE PERMANENT ADODE OF THE UNIVERSAL COMMUNITY OF THE REIGHTEOUS PEOPLE FROM ALL THE TIMES, AND FROM ALL THE WORLDS. IN SIZE, SAYS THE HOLY QURAN, IT IS UNIMAGINABLY VAST, MAY BE AS VAST AS THE ENTIRE SIZE OF THE PRESENT UNIVERSE. IT WAS TOLD :

                                                   A PARADISE

                                             WHERE OF THE BREADTH IS

                                             AS THE BREADTH OF

                                            THE (PRESENT) HEAVEN ND EATH,

                                             PREPARED FOR

                                            THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN

                                            ALLAH AND IS MESSENGER.

                       IN THIS VERSE, EQUIVALENCE OF THE PARADISE WITH THE PRESENT HEAVENLY WORLD, SHOWS THAT ITS SIZE IS TOO LARGE TO IMAGINE. THE ONE HEAVEN ABOUT WHICH SCIENCE HAVE SOME IDEA, IS ESTMATED TO CONSIST OF MILLIONS OF GALAXIES, WITH EACH GALAXY BEING FORMED OF APPROXIMATELY 100 BILLION STARS. WIDTH OF EVEN ONE GALAXY IS SO VAST THAT LIGHT TRAVELLING AT A SPEED OF 1,86,000 MILES PER SECOND, TAKES NEARLY 20,000 YEARS TO REACH FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER. THIS IS ONE GALAXY. NOW TRY TO IMAGINE OF THE SIZE OF ALL THE HEAVENS AND THEN TRY TO IMAGINE THE SIZE OF THE PARADISE IN THE NEW UNIVERSE, WHICH IS TOLD TO BE EVEN VASTER THAN ALL THIS.

FROM PLANT TO HUMAN STATE ( TRANSFORMATION )

 

                         

                                 HOW TO BECOME THE MAN

                     LIFE IN INTERPLANETARY SPACE

                         WE HAVE SEEN FROM THE VARIOUS VERSES OF THE HOLY QURAN  QUOTED EARLIER THAT LIFE IS A WIDESPREAD PHENOMENA IN THE UNIVERSE, IN ALL PROBILITY, LIFE-BEARING HEAVENLY BODIES ARE THE EARTH-LIKE PLANETS HOWEVER, A MORE STRIKING THING SEEN FROM THE QURAN IS THAT LIFE ALSO EXISTS IN SPACES BETWEEN THE PLANETS AND STARS, THOUUGH MOST SCIENTISTS GENERALLY REGARDS IT AS ONLY A LIFELESS VACUUM.

                           UP TO NOW IT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED BY THE SCIENTISTS THAT INTER-PLANETARY SPACE IS PERMEATED WITH STELLAR GASES, SUB-ATOMIC PARTICLES AND SOME FORMS OF SUBTLE MATTER. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE TRUTH EXPRESSED IN THE HOLY QURAN THAT THERE ARE CREATIONS OF GOD PRESENT EVERYWHERE, A FACT WHICH IS CLEAR FROM THE FOLLOWING REVELATIONS ALSO.

  

                                           HE IS THE NOURSIHER

THE NATURE OF DEATH

                               

                                                 THE REALITY OF LIFE

                                                FORM OF EXISTENCE

            DEATH IS THE GATE WAY BETWEEN THE PROBATIONARY LIFE ON THE EARTH AND THE SPIRITUAL WORLD. ONCES THROUGH THIS GATE WAY MAN WILL REALIBLE HOW THINGS WHICH HE NEGLECTED OR LOOED UPON AS REMOTE AND THE INITIATE REABILITIES, AND THE THINGS WHICH SEEMED TO BOMM LARGE IN HIS EYES AND HIS WORLD ARE SHADOWS THAT HAVE FLED.

                  IN THE FOLLOWING WE SHALL DISCUSS THE EVENTS RELATED TO THE PERMEANENT DEATH STATE IN THE LIGHT OF THE HOLY QURAN AND AHABITHS OF THE LAST OF THE MESSENGERS OF ALLAH ON THE EARTH .

                                        NATURE OF DEATH

                       HOLY QURAN TERMS DEATH AS AN ACT OF CREATION LIKE THE LIFE. THUS IT IS NOT "EQUIVALLENT TO NOTHINGNESS" BUT A CREATED STATE AS REVEALED IN THE FOLLOWING VERSES.

                     HE WHO CREATED DEATH AND LIFE

                     THAT HE MAY TRY

                     WHICH OF YOU IS BEST IN DEEDS".

                                                             AND

                       THEY WILL SAY, OUR LORD,

                     TWICE, THOU GAVE US DEATH,

                     AND TWICE YOU GAVE US LIFE

                    NOW WE HAVE RECOGNIZED OUR SINS,

                    IS THERE ANY WAY OUR?

                                                 AND

                          HOW CAN YE  REJECT THE FAITH IN ALLAH?

                              SEEING THAT YE WERE DEAD,

                        HE GAVE YOU LIFE

                            THEN HE WILL CAUSE YOU TO DIE

                      AND WILL AGAIN BRING YOU TO LIFE

                             AND AGAIN TO HIM WILL YE RETURN".

                        FROM THE ABOVE, FOLLOWING OBSERVATION MAY BE DERIVED ON LIFE AND DEATH:

                   1. DEATH IS A CREATED STATE AS IS THE REALITY OF LIFE

                   2. IT IS NOT "NOTHINGNESS" BUT SOME FORM OF EXISTENCE OF THE SOUL.

                   3. EVEN BEFORE OUR PHYSICAL APPEARANCE ON THIS EARTH, WE WHERE LIVING IN THE STATE OF DEATH. FROM LIFE WE SHALL AGAIN PASS TO THE STATE OF DEATH, AND FROM THERE ON, WILL PASS ON TO THE STATE OF LIFE AGAIN, THUS AGAIN ONE HAS TWO DEATHS AND TWO LIVES.

                  4. OUR JOURNEY FROM ETERNITY MAY BE REPRESENTED BY THE FOLLOWING DIAGRAM:.

                   5. DEATH IS THUS A STATE OF EXISTENCE BEFORE WE ARE BORN TO LIVE IN THIS WORLD ON THE EARTH, AND IS A STATE OF EXISTENCE AFTER WE PASS AWAY FROM THIS WORLD TO THE WORLD OF GRAVES.

                    TRYING TO INDERSTAND DEATH BEFORE LIFE, A SIMILITUDE IN THE WORKING OR SEMI-CONDUCTORS MAY HELP. IN THE SEMI-CONDUCTORS THERE ARE "HOLES" AND "ELECTIONS". THOUGH A "HOLE" IS A STATE OF ABSENSE OF ELECTION, IT IS ITSELF A DEFINITE REALITY.

                     IN THE HOLY QURAN, REALITY OF THE LIFE AND DEATH ARE SOMETIME MENTIONED ANALOGOUS TO THE PHENOMENA OF NIGHT AND DAY. ARE SUCCESSIVE EVENTS IN THE TIME PLANE. STATE OF DAY AND NIGHT ARE DIFFERENTIATED, ONLY BY THE ABSENCE OR PRESENCE OF AN EXTERNAL FUNCTION, WHICH IS LIGHT DERIVED FROM THE SUN, WHICH IS ALWAYS THERE. THIS LIGHT IS ANALOGOURS TO THE HUMAN SOUL. WE CAN VISUALIZE THE CYCLE OF DAY AND NIGHT WITH THE CYCLE OF LIFE AND DEATH AS FOLLOWS.

                      STATE OF NIGHT + SUN LIGHT - DAY STATE

                    STATE OF DAY - SUN LIGHT - NIGHT STATE

                     IN BOTH THESE CASES MEDIUM FOR MANIFESTATION IS THE EARTH AND EARTH RELATED OBJECTS. OTHERWISE IN THE UPPER SPACE LIGHT IS ALWAYS PRESENT.

 

                                  ON THE SAME ANALOGY :

                                 STATE OF DEATH + LIFE STATE

                              STATE OF LIFE - DEATH STATE

                             IN THIS CASE MANIFESTATION OF LIFE AND DEATH IS DUE TO THE HUMAN BODY. CYCLE OF DAY AND NIGHT, AND CYCLE OF LIFE AND DEATH ARE FUNCTIONS OF TIME ONLY, ACTUAL SOURCE OF CHANGING NIGHT INTO DAY, OR DEATH INTO LIFE IS EXTERNAL TO THE MEDIA. IN THE FIRST CASE, IT IS SUN LIGHT REACHING THE EARTH FROM ABOUT 9 CRORE MILES FROM THE SUN, IN THE SECOND CASE, IT IS THE SOUL COMING FROM ANOTHER UNKNOWN PLANE OF EXISTENCE. AS THE SUN LIGHT IS EVER PRESENT, LIKEWISE THE SOUL REMAIN THERE, EVER LIVING.

                      JUST AS A SOUL IS MADE TO ENTER OUR BODY DURING THE EMBRYNIC STAGE, IT IS TAKEN AWAY AT THE TIME OF THE BIOCHEMICAL DEATH OF THE BODY, TO GO INTO 2ND TRANSFORMATION IN THE JOURNEY TO ETERNITY, WE CAME FROM ALLAH AND GO BACK TO ALLAH . QURAN SAYS"

                          EVERY SOUL SHALL HAVE A TASTE OF DEATH,

                          AND WE TRY YOU WITH EVIL AND WITH GOOD,

                          BY WAY OF TRIAL,

                          AND UNTO US YOU WILL BE RETURNED".

PAINFUL DEATH (QURAN SAYS)

 

                                      PAIN IN DEATH

                                   

                       DEATH IS PARTICULARLY PAINFUL TO THE SOULS OF THE REBELS OF ALLAH. HOWEVER, THE BODY MAY NOT FEEL THIS PAIN, BECAUSE SOUL IS AN INDEPENDENT BEING LIVING ON BODY. PAIN IS FELT BY THE SOUL AFTER IT HAS LEFT THE BODY. THEREFORE DOCTORS AND RELATIVES OF THE PATIENTS MAY NOT OBSERVE THIS PAIN. 

                     QURAN SAYS...

                                           IF THOU COULD SEE'            

                              WHEN THE ANGELS

                                        TAKE THE SOULS OF THE 

                          UNBELIEVERS (AT DEATH)

                                       (HOW) THEY SMITE THEIR FACES

                         AND THEIR BACKS (SAYING)

                                        TASTE THE PENALTY OF THE BLAZING FIRE,

                        THIS IS BECAUSE OF YOUR DEEDS

                                      WHICH YOUR HANDS SENT FORTH

                         FOR ALLAH IS NEVER UNJEST

                                          TO HIS SERVANTS".

                         THOSE SOULS WHO ACTED IN THEIR WORLDLY PERIOD ACCORDING TO THE DIVINE INSTRUCTIONS, THEY ARE RECEIVED WITH LOVE AND AFFECTION, AS TEH QURAN SAYS :

                          THOSE WHOM ANGELS CAUSE TO DIE

                          (AND THEY ARE ) GOOD,

                           THEY SAY, "PEACE BE ON YOU

                           ENTER YE THE GARDEN

                           BECAUSE OF THE GOOD

                           YOU USED TO DO (IN THE WORLD)

       

                                      IF WE CAREFULLY REFLECT INTO THE ABOVE VERSES,

                                      FOLLOWING POINTS ARE EVIDENT:

                               

                                           👀

                           (A) SOULS ARE TAKEN AWAY FROM THE  HUMAN 

                                 BODY AT THE TIME OF THE DEATH BY OUR GUARDIAN 

                                  ANGELS.

                                                                 👀

                            (B) FOR MANY IT IS TIME OF REAL AGONY AND A PAINFUL 

                                     PROCESS ALTHOUGH THE CONCERNED HUMAN BEING

                                     IS UNABLE TO DESCRIBE IT . SOULS OF THE SINNERS 

                                     AND REBELS OF GOD ARE SUBJECTED TO TERRIBLE

                                      PUNISHMENT SOON AFTER THEIR SEPARATION FROM                                            THE BODY.

                                           👀

                            (C) AT THE TIME OF DEATH, SOULS COME TO KNOW

                                   THE HIDDEN SECRET REALITIES CONCERNING THEM 

                                  SUCH AS THEIR LIFE TIME RECORDS, SUPERNATURALS 

                                  SUCH AS ANGELS, AND GLIMPSES OF HELL AND 

                                    PARADISE ETC.

                                                                 👀

                             (D) AFTER DEATH SOULS ARE BROUGHT BACK TO 

                                     THEIR HEAVENLY ABODE, FROM THE PLACE

                                      FROM WHERE THEY HAD LEFT TO JOIN THE BODY.

                                  GRAVES-THE DISPOSAL PLACE OF SOULS

                                  QURAN INFORMS THAT GRAVE IS A STARE OR A PLACE WHERE SOUL IS DEPOSITED AFTER THE DEATH OF THE BODY. WHETHER SOMEONE IS BURIED IN EARTH, BURNT ON PYRE, EATEN BY THE BEASTS, DROWNED IN SEA, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, IN ALL TYPES OF DEATHS, SOULS ENTER INTO GRAVES FOR THE INTERMEDIATE PERIOD TILL THE RESURRECTION.

                                      👉       FROM A SPERM DROP

                                        HE HAS CREATED HIM (MANKIND)

                                        AND MOULDED HIM

                                        AND MADE HIM IN DUE PROPORTIONS

                                         THEN DOES HE MAKE HIS PATH,

                                          SMOOTH FOR HIM

                                         THEN HE CAUSES HIM TO DIE

                                          AND PUTS HIM IN HIS GRAVE

                                           THEN, WHEN IT IS HIS WILL

                                           HE WOULD RAISE HIM UP (AGAIN)  👈

                            THE ABOVE VERSES INDICATE THAT GIVES IS A DISPOSAL STATE IN THE LIFE CIRCLE OF THE SOUL FROM THE TIME OF HIS DEPARTURE FROM WORLDY LIFE TO THE DAY OF JUDGMENT, A STATE BETWEEN THE DEATH AND THE RESURRECTION.

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".
