Halo nur.....let me tell you this.....to a chinese or the yellow skin
people......they will tell muslim people this......you can keep your
islam and we keep our 'reason'.
Just FYI.....among the yellow skin communities....we are all governed
by 'REASON' that is why we Yellow skin people have been living in
Harmony all these while. Unlike your muslim dominated societies....you
muslim is governed by 'violence'.......when muslim committed incest or
killed someone...they always come with reasons........that is the
difference.
The other thing I want to say to you is.......muslim can easily con
the western people into committing something with no turning
back.....but, not-so with the yellow skin people,,,,cos, yellow skin
people are just simply too smart for you muslim to handle or to
manipulate us.

If China was ruled by Muslims, how come China is the largest consumer
of pork in the world?
52.5 Million Metric tons(MMt) of pork was consumed in China in the
year 2006. Compare that to 20.1 MMt for the EU25 and 9 MMt in the US
which are in 2nd and 3rd place respectively. (Source

"Second Voyage (1407-1409)
A second voyage of the Treasure Fleet departed on a return trip to
India in 1407 but Cheng Ho did not command this voyage. He remained in
China to oversee the repair of a temple at the birthplace of a
favorite goddess. The Chinese envoys on board helped to ensure the
power of a king of Calicut. The fleet returned in 1409."
If Cheng Ho was a devout Muslim, as you claim, why did he want to
"oversee the repair of a temple at the birthplace of a favorite
goddess"? Any other guy would have destroyed the temple as your fellow
brothers did to the Bamiyan statues?

Many Muslims have been converted Christianity,as they saw the
compelling reasons that their faith is evil,and every practice of the
Islamic Faith is a sign of an evil doer.
There is no book,not even Koran had described what Hell is actually
but the Bible which said:The worms die not,and the fires not
quench,and all who had sins in their hearts,and have not come to the
Lord Jesus Christ,their fate is there,where there shall be gnashing of
teeth,and will be wailing loudly forever.
They will curse their Imans and Mullahs,and all deceitful workers.If
Jesus is acknowledge by Koran as being born from a virgin Mary,one
who works wonders and Muhammed was an evil man,and he himself claimed
to be possessed by demons,why not come to Jesus?
Despite Muhammed claimed to be possessed by demons,so we must see his
deeds which must manifest wicked deeds before confirmation that he
indeed was such a demoniacal fellow.He raped women.Tortured human
beings,and conducted terrorism,plundered families,married a 9 year old
girl.
Karthijah tried to lie to him that what he saw was angels and not
demons cannot jadi.Why?Does Karthijah received revelations from God?
Who is she to know what Muhammed see and hear in that cave?Muslims
must believe in Muhammed's testimony,and not the testimony of
Karthijah.
Muhammed had fits,the symptom of demonic possession,and such facts
were well known.
You have a terribly weak mind to believe in Cheng Ho's Islamic
Faith,and if you could believe a well known demonic man,as your Faith
told you so,you can believe in anything.Islamic Faith is finished,for
the hidden deeds of them all are now appearing all over the places,and
Muslims who come out of it,the sooner the better.The one ultimately
who suffers,it is you,yourself.Think for yourself,and come out of that
cult,for this is God Almighty command for you.

Welcome back Freakie, my punch bag. I did not realize my pummeling had
hurt you so much that you had to stay in hospital for such a long
period. LOL
BTW, how do you know that hell exists? Stop your bull-shit here. If
you continue with your fairy tales, I will send you back to the
hospital, this time it will be mental institute. LOL
his Excellency Itoh , the Japanese Advisor to the Manchu Imperial Government

thank you.

Saying do not change "X" word to "Y" word is fine. However, firstly,
the word that you do not want to be changed must exist in the original
text. To make it simpler for you, let me give you an example. You had
stated "do not change the word 'GREED' to 'REASON'". Now can you show
me where in the original text was the word "GREED" used? It was only
used by you. Not by yansimon52.
This is basic English. Now some advice, in your own words "try to
read more, study more and think wiser". (In English we say "think
wisely", not "think wiser".)

Mao's Great Leap Forward 'killed 45 million in four years'
By Arifa Akbar, Arts Correspondent
Friday, 17 September 2010
Mao Zedong presided over a regime responsible for the deaths of up to
45 million people
Mao Zedong, founder of the People's Republic of China, qualifies as
the greatest mass murderer in world history, an expert who had
unprecedented access to official Communist Party archives said
yesterday.
Speaking at The Independent Woodstock Literary Festival, Frank
Dikötter, a Hong Kong-based historian, said he found that during the
time that Mao was enforcing the Great Leap Forward in 1958, in an
effort to catch up with the economy of the Western world, he was
responsible for overseeing "one of the worst catastrophes the world
has ever known".
Mr Dikötter, who has been studying Chinese rural history from 1958 to
1962, when the nation was facing a famine, compared the systematic
torture, brutality, starvation and killing of Chinese peasants to the
Second World War in its magnitude. At least 45 million people were
worked, starved or beaten to death in China over these four years; the
worldwide death toll of the Second World War was 55 million.
Mr Dikötter is the only author to have delved into the Chinese
archives since they were reopened four years ago. He argued that this
devastating period of history – which has until now remained hidden –
has international resonance. "It ranks alongside the gulags and the
Holocaust as one of the three greatest events of the 20th century....
It was like [the Cambodian communist dictator] Pol Pot's genocide
multiplied 20 times over," he said.
Between 1958 and 1962, a war raged between the peasants and the state;
it was a period when a third of all homes in China were destroyed to
produce fertiliser and when the nation descended into famine and
starvation, Mr Dikötter said.
His book, Mao's Great Famine; The Story of China's Most Devastating
Catastrophe, reveals that while this is a part of history that has
been "quite forgotten" in the official memory of the People's Republic
of China, there was a "staggering degree of violence" that was,
remarkably, carefully catalogued in Public Security Bureau reports,
which featured among the provincial archives he studied. In them, he
found that the members of the rural farming communities were seen by
the Party merely as "digits", or a faceless workforce. For those who
committed any acts of disobedience, however minor, the punishments
were huge.
State retribution for tiny thefts, such as stealing a potato, even by
a child, would include being tied up and thrown into a pond; parents
were forced to bury their children alive or were doused in excrement
and urine, others were set alight, or had a nose or ear cut off. One
record shows how a man was branded with hot metal. People were forced
to work naked in the middle of winter; 80 per cent of all the
villagers in one region of a quarter of a million Chinese were banned
from the official canteen because they were too old or ill to be
effective workers, so were deliberately starved to death.
Mr Dikötter said that he was once again examining the Party's archives
for his next book, The Tragedy of Liberation, which will deal with the
bloody advent of Communism in China from 1944 to 1957.
He said the archives were already illuminating the extent of the
atrocities of the period; one piece of evidence revealed that 13,000
opponents of the new regime were killed in one region alone, in just
three weeks. "We know the outline of what went on but I will be
looking into precisely what happened in this period, how it happened,
and the human experiences behind the history," he said.
Mr Dikötter, who teaches at the University of Hong Kong, said while it
was difficult for any historian in China to write books that are
critical of Mao, he felt he could not collude with the "conspiracy of
silence" in what the Chinese rural community had suffered in recent
history

the emperor's minions. Did he bring any glory for China? I doubt it.

I can never be hurt by nonsensical words,and idiotic

yansimon52
Wowwww....you sound like what was written in that story book quran.
Yes...there is no doubt whatever written in that story book ....it was
skillfully written to win over follower........its really target those
weaklings and confused people.
To tough and experience people like us.....stop all your brainwashing
tactic...we just want to know its spiritual fundamental......starting
with......issit a religious belief coming from the Darkside or the
Brighside? Cos, these 2 spiritual forces (darkside and
brightside)...they came with 2 different characteristic,,,cannot be
the same character what.....ie...the 'feeling' of daytime and
nightfall.....if you seriously look at it....its not quite the same..
Fom these 2 spiritual forces....one came with the characteristic of
providing 'thrills, frills and misery'.....to those who embrace
it......whereas, the other provide 'inner peace and loving
kindess'..for those who embrace it. You can say that the Brightside
spiritual force is quite a dull and a dumb dumb
forces....LOL...LOL...but it just suit well for warm blloded being
like us.
A so-called religious belief where its derived from the Darkside that
provides 'thrills frills and misery' is interpreted as
such....Thrills.....when 911 occurred...alot of muslim (jumped for
joy) were very thrilled on what was happening in the US..the other
type of thrills muslim get it is when they feel very excited when they
did 'black magic' on their intended victims cos, they were able to put
the 'magical charm' thru.........then we have this 'frills'...its
interpreted as....embracing spiritual forces from the Darkside do
provide one with some supernatural power...from those witchcraft
activities they did on most night......that is why we usually see most
voodoo practitioners having islamc background....lastly, we talk about
'misery'.....yes...geographically speaking in areas where there are
muslim dominated commuity.....we see more natural disaster come
knocking at their door....cos, its about 'pay back
time'.....LOL....LOL.....
The other interpretation about misery is.......you see endless problem
befall on most muslim family...cos, readin too much on their story
book turning them into a smart alec and a person who 'no trouble but
always seeking for trouble'
darion
forget your medicine again ?
yansimon52
Halo young man...I am too old to take my medicine...I believe I have
taken more salt than you taking your 'rice'.
We know what's in store for those who seek a religious belief that is
coming from the Darkside....halo...I am not targeting on this story
book alone..that bring alot of misery to today's societies.... I am
oso highlighting to those 'taoist mediums' who do alot of nightly
trances ...they (taoist medium) themselves face alot of personal
problem.....same goes with thos muslim vooodoo man ...never ending
problem for them.
Worst on muslim man.....they do not realise that what they were
indulging with is a kind of 'no turning back' for them......ya...those
terrorist...those gang members with Nordin Top.....you think that his
aides have chances of repenting from their wrong doing?....its a one
way street for them.....you live by the sword...you die by the
sword...
Not only you see physically that these man face a 'no turning back'
problem with their lives.....there are alot of muslim elders (maybe
same goes to you if you are not smart enuff to avoid it) who faces
alot of changes to their face's features..ie...got to put on dark
glasses , just to hide their 'evil face's features from their eye's
look'.....or you see muslim elders with myserious sickess befall on
them.
Halo young man....in all fairness....I am not condamming those people
'itself'' who are muslim...I am condamming that story book who caused
'havoc' to today's societies across the globe...cos, this story
book ...its teaching came from the Darkside that provides 'thrills,
frills and misery'

Condemning something you never read, let alone study it, can not be

Ayooh what is there to read in that story book....all those
'brainwashing' text...turning you into a smart alec....until when one
committed incest ..he can come here and say that its Allah that told
him to do so......LOL....LOL...always got excuses la.......you can't
argue with those smart alec muslim la....cos, they always got reason
for it.......no wonder up till this day...Osama is still not
caught......Simple reason is....muslim were not taught about ..what is
rite from wrong' in their story book....they are so hooked up on this
word 'JIHAD'.....actaully they should replace the word Allah with this
JIHAD word...

Blindness, stupidity and bigotry are no virtue though you think so.
yansimon52
Firstly, I would like to make it clear to you that I am not against
people or biase on those who embrace cult belief nor speak ill on them
cos, I believe everyone has the rights to seek whatever spirituality
they believe in. My stand over here is...just to create awareness to
all would be religious seekers.
Secondly, coming back on this...why do cult belief exist among us?
What to do...as we all know that all human were not born
equal......physically and spiritually...even in characters....some
very compassionate...some, their heart made of steel. That is where we
see the existent of these 2 spiritual forces that are meant to cater
to certain human with different character. Take for example, for those
whose are categorised as compassionate and kind type.....trying to
seek solace thru spirituality, hoping to give kindness back to fellow
human....Unfortunately, some didn't get what they bargain for. Reason
is....they got involved in some religious belief that fall under the
cult category....can say that these are the 'victims'. That is where
we see cases on those kind hearted people...once, involved in some
religious activities.....their personal life turned upside
down,,,,ie,,,getting divorced or break-up among family members...
Well to those with heart made of steel.....getting involved with cult
activities made them more wealthier.....ie...ie..those 'loan sharks'
or unscrupulous people who love to caused misery to others..Take for
exampl on cases such as.....Loan shark who bid for 'balck
gold' (charcoal) during the 7th month (hungry ghost month)...bring
back those 'black gold' may help them to strike more 4D.....as compare
to those compassionate people who bid those black gold and brought
home...they gone bankrupt. ..why?.....needless to say....spiritual
forces from the Darkside (or cult belief) do not really welcome
followers with compassionate heart.cos, people with compassionate
heart didn't fit into the characteristic (thrills, frills and misery)
with forces from the Darkside..
So to speak...its more apropriate for people with compassionate heart
to embrace spiritual forces from the Brightside instead of those from
the Darkside..that provide 'inner peace and loving kindness'..

Dear yansimon52
The following should give some enlightenment on the soul Inshaa Allaah
REFERENCE - fiqh us sunnah Vol 4 -95
Ibn al-Qayyim dealt with this subject under a separate chapter in
which he
mentions opinions of various scholars concerning the abode of souls.
Mentioning
the most correct position he explained, "It is said that the abodes of
the souls in
barzakh vary considerably. Some of them are in the highest reaches of
the
heavens, such as the souls of the Prophets, peace be upon them all.
Their status
also varies as observed by the Prophet, peace be upon him, during the
night of
Isra."
Some souls are in the form of green birds who roam around freely in
Paradise.
These are the souls of some of the martyrs, but not all of them. The
souls of
some martyrs are prevented from entering Paradise on account of their
debts or
some other similar thing. This is supported by a report by Ibn Hanbal
in his
Musnad from Muhammad ibn Abdallah ibn Jahsh that "A man came to the
Prophet,
peace be upon him, and asked, 'O Allah's Prophet! What would I have if
I am killed
in the cause of Allah?' The Prophet, peace be upon him, replied,
'Paradise.' But,
when the man got up to go, the Prophet added, 'Unless you have some
debts to
pay. Gabriel has informed me about it just now'."
Some souls will be locked out at the gate of Paradise, in accordance
with this
hadith: "I have seen your companion locked out at the gate of
Paradise." Other
souls are restricted to their graves as is evident from the hadith
about the
martyr who had stolen a cloak (He had stolen it out of the spoils of
war before
their proper distribution) when he was killed, the people asked, "Will
he have bliss
in Paradise?" The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "By Him in whose
hand is my
soul, the cloak which he stole causes a fire to flare over him in his
grave."
The abode of others is at the gate of Paradise, as described in a
hadith by Ibn
'Abbas that, "The abode of martyrs is in a green dome, on a bright
river, near the
gate of Paradise. Their provision comes from Paradise in the morning
and in the
evening.'' (Ahmad) This does not apply to Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, whose
hands were
transformed into wings, and with these he flies wherever he wishes in
Paradise.
Others remain confined to earth, for these souls cannot rise to
heaven. Indeed,
these are base, earthly souls which do not mix with the heavenly
souls, just as
they do not mix with them during their sojourn on earth. A soul that
is oblivious to
its Lord, blind to His love, negligent of His remembrance, and remiss
in seeking His
pleasure is a despicable earthly soul. After separation from its body,
it cannot go
anywhere, but remains here. On the other hand, the heavenly soul in
this life
clings to the love of Allah and to His remembrance, and seeks His
pleasure and
nearness. After separation from its body, it will join other kindred
heavenly souls.
In the barzakh (Literally an interval, a separation or a partition, Al-
barzakh may be
defined as the intervening state between death and the Last Day) and
on the Day
of Resurrection a person will be with those he loved. Allah will join
some souls
with others in the abode of barzakh and on the Day of Resurrection,
placing the
believer's soul with other pure souls, that is, other pure souls
kindred to his
soul. A soul, after separation from the body, joins other kindred
souls who in
their nature and deeds are similar to it and stays with them.
Some souls would be thrown in an oven or a pit along with other
fornicators and
harlots. Other souls would be in a river of blood, floating therein
and swallowing
rocks.The two categories of souls - the blessed and the damned - do
not share a
similar abode, for there are souls that reside in the highest reaches
of heavens,
while the others, low and mean earthly souls, cannot rise above the
earth.
When one ponders the hadith and traditions on this subject carefully,
one can
easily find the reason for this. There is no contradiction in the
sound traditions on
this subject. In fact, they are all true and each supports the other.
It is important,
however, to understand the soul and to appreciate its essence and the
laws that
govern its functions. Indeed, the soul is something completely
different from the
body. It is in Paradise, but at the same time is attached to the grave
and the body
in it. It is the swiftest thing in moving, relocating, ascending, or
descending from
one place to another.These souls are divided into various categories:
the ones
that are free to move about, those that are confined, the ones that
are celestial,
and the others that are earthly and of a low order. After separation
from their
bodies, souls do experience health and sickness, and they feel far
more pleasure
and pain than they experienced when they were joined together.They are
subject
to confinement, pain, punishment, sickness, and grief as they are to
various
states of joy, rest, bliss, and freedom. How similar is its condition
in the body to
when it was in the womb of its mother! And likewise how analogous is
its
situation after separation from the body to when it came out of the
womb into this
world! There are four abodes of the soul, and each abode is bigger and
greater
than the previous one.
The soul's first abode is the womb of the mother, where there is
confinement,
compression, seclusion, and three layers of darkness.The second abode
is its
earthly habitat where it grows, does good and evil, and accumulates
blessings for
its ultimate success or failure. Its third abode is the abode of
barzakh, which is
more spacious and immense than the abode of this world. This abode,
compared
to the fourth one, is like this [third] abode compared to the first
abode.
The fourth abode is the abode of eternity, either Paradise or Hell.
There is no
other abode after these.Allah causes the soul to pass through these
abodes in
stages, until it reaches the abode most suitable for it, an abode that
only it
deserves and for which it is [uniquely] suitable, because this abode
was created
for it, and the soul was given the ability to perform the deeds that
lead precisely
to this abode.
In each abode the soul enjoys a peculiar status and position
altogether different
from what it has in other abodes. Blessed indeed is soul's Originator
and Creator,
Who gives it life, causes it to die, makes it happy or subjects it
grief and sorrow.
Blessed is He Who appointed for it various levels of success and
failure, and
distinguished them by various grades in accordance with their
knowledge,
performance, faculties, and morality.Whoever truly understands and
appreciates
this cannot, but bear witness to the fact that there is no deity
except Allah, Who
has no partners. With Him alone rests all authority, praise, and all
that is good,
and to Him alone all affairs return for decision. His is the absolute
authority, and
all dominion, might, honor, wisdom, and perfection free of any defects
or
imperfections. He is known through the testimony of His truthful
Prophets and
Messengers. They did indeed come with Truth. Reason testifies to its
truthfulness,
and nature supports and confirms it. And anything that contradicts
this testimony
is untrue.

What reason you have for not being a believer?
1 Alif-Lam-Ra.(These letters are one of the miracles of the Quran, and
none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings).(This is) a Book which We
have revealed unto you (O Muhammad SAW) in order that you might lead
mankind out of darkness (of disbelief and polytheism) into light (of
belief in the Oneness of Allah and Islamic Monotheism) by their Lords
Leave to the Path of the All-Mighty, the Owner of all Praise.
2 Allah to Whom belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in
the earth! And woe unto the disbelievers from a severe torment.
3 Those who prefer the life of this world instead of the Hereafter,
and hinder (men) from the Path of Allah (i.e.Islam) and seek
crookedness therein - They are far astray.
4 And We sent not a Messenger except with the language of his people,
in order that he might make (the Message) clear for them. Then Allah
misleads whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the All-
Mighty, the All-Wise.
5 And indeed We sent Moosa (Moses) with Our Ayat (signs, proofs, and
evidences) (saying): "Bring out your people from darkness into light,
and make them remember the annals of Allah. Truly, therein are
evidences, proofs and signs for every patient, thankful (person)."
6 And (remember) when Moosa (Moses) said to his people: "Call to mind
Allahs Favour to you, when He delivered you from Firauns (Pharaoh)
people who were afflicting you with horrible torment, and were
slaughtering your sons and letting your women alive, and in it was a
tremendous trial from your Lord."
7 And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed: "If you give thanks (by
accepting Faith and worshipping none but Allah), I will give you more
(of My Blessings), but if you are thankless (i.e. disbelievers),
verily! My Punishment is indeed severe."
8 And Moosa (Moses) said: "If you disbelieve, you and all on earth
together, then verily! Allah is Rich (Free of all wants), Owner of all
Praise."
9 Has not the news reached you, of those before you, the people of
Nooh (Noah), and Ad, and Thamud? And those after them? None knows them
but Allah. To them came their Messengers with clear proofs, but they
put their hands in their mouths (biting them from anger) and said:
"Verily, we disbelieve in that with which you have been sent, and we
are really in grave doubt as to that to which you invite us (i.e.
Islamic Monotheism)."
10 Their Messengers said: "What! Can there be a doubt about Allah,
the Creator of the heavens and the earth? He calls you (to Monotheism
and to be obedient to Allah) that He may forgive you of your sins and
give you respite for a term appointed." They said: "You are no more
than human beings like us! You wish to turn us away from what our
fathers used to worship. Then bring us a clear authority i.e. a clear
proof of what you say)."
11 Their Messengers said to them: "We are no more than human beings
like you, but Allah bestows His Grace to whom He wills of His slaves.
It is not ours to bring you an authority (proof) except by the
Permission of Allah. And in Allah (Alone) let the believers put their
trust.
12 "And why should we not put our trust in Allah while He indeed has
guided us our ways. And we shall certainly bear with patience all the
hurt you may cause us, and in Allah (Alone) let those who trust, put
their trust."
13 And those who disbelieved, said to their Messengers: "Surely, we
shall drive you out of our land, or you shall return to our religion."
So their Lord inspired them: "Truly, We shall destroy the Zalimoon
(polytheists, disbelievers and wrong-doers.).
14 "And indeed, We shall make you dwell in the land after them. This
is for him who fears standing before Me (on the Day of Resurrection or
fears My Punishment) and also fears My Threat."
15 But they (the Messengers) sought victory and help (from their Lord
(Allah)), and every obstinate, arrogant dictator (who refuses to
believe in the Oneness of Allah) was brought to a complete loss and
destruction.
16 In front of him (every obstinate, arrogant dictator) is Hell, and
he will be made to drink boiling, festering water.
17 He will sip it unwillingly, and he will find a great difficulty to
swallow it down his throat, and death will come to him from every
side, yet he will not die and in front of him, will be a great
torment.
18 The parable of those who disbelieve in their Lord is that their
works are as ashes, on which the wind blows furiously on a stormy day,
they shall not be able to get aught of what they have earned. That is
the straying, far away (from the Right Path).
19 Do you not see that Allah has created the heavens and the earth
with truth? If He will, He can remove you and bring (in your place) a
new creation!
20 And for Allah that is not hard or difficult (i.e. very easy for
Allah).
21 And they all shall appear before Allah (on the Day of
Resurrection) then the weak will say to those who were arrogant
(chiefs): "Verily, we were following you; can you avail us anything
from Allahs Torment?" They will say: "Had Allah guided us, we would
have guided you. It makes no difference to us (now) whether we rage,
or bear (these torments) with patience, there is no place of refuge
for us."
22 And Shaitan (Satan) will say when the matter has been decided:
"Verily, Allah promised you a promise of truth. And I too promised
you, but I betrayed you. I had no authority over you except that I
called you, so you responded to me. So blame me not, but blame
yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can you help me. I deny your former
act in associating me (Satan) as a partner with Allah (by obeying me
in the life of the world). Verily, there is a painful torment for the
Zalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.)."
23 And those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah and His Messengers
and whatever they brought) and did righteous deeds, will be made to
enter Gardens under which rivers flow, - to dwell therein forever
(i.e.in Paradise), with the permission of their Lord. Their greeting
therein will be: Salam (peace!).
24 See you not how Allah sets forth a parable? - A goodly word as a
goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to
the sky (i.e. very high).
25 Giving its fruit at all times, by the Leave of its Lord and Allah
sets forth parables for mankind in order that they may remember.
26 And the parable of an evil word is that of an evil tree uprooted
from the surface of earth having no stability.
27 Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands
firm in this world (i.e. they will keep on worshipping Allah Alone and
none else), and in the Hereafter. And Allah will cause to go astray
those who are Zalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.), and Allah
does what He wills.
28 Have you not seen those who have changed the Blessings of Allah
into disbelief (by denying Prophet Muhammad SAW and his Message of
Islam), and caused their people to dwell in the house of
destruction?
29 Hell, in which they will burn, - and what an evil place to settle
in!
30 And they set up rivals to Allah, to mislead (men) from His Path!
Say: "Enjoy (your brief life)! But certainly, your destination is the
(Hell) Fire!"
31 Say (O Muhammad SAW) to Ibadee (My slaves) who have believed, that
they should perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and spend in charity
out of the sustenance We have given them, secretly and openly, before
the coming of a Day on which there will be neither mutual bargaining
nor befriending.
32 Allah is He Who has created the heavens and the earth and sends
down water (rain) from the sky, and thereby brought forth fruits as
provision for you; and He has made the ships to be of service to you,
that they may sail through the sea by His Command; and He has made
rivers (also) to be of service to you.
33 And He has made the sun and the moon, both constantly pursuing
their courses, to be of service to you; and He has made the night and
the day, to be of service to you.
34 And He gave you of all that you asked for, and if you count the
Blessings of Allah, never will you be able to count them. Verily! Man
is indeed an extreme wrong-doer, - a disbeliever (an extreme ingrate,
denies Allahs Blessings by disbelief, and by worshipping others
besides Allah, and by disobeying Allah and His Prophet Muhammad
SAW).
35 And (remember) when Ibrahim (Abraham) (Abraham) said: "O my Lord!
Make this city (Makkah) one of peace and security, and keep me and my
sons away from worshipping idols.
36 "O my Lord! They have indeed led astray many among mankind. But
whoso follows me, he verily is of me. And whoso disobeys me, - still
You are indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
37 "O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in an
uncultivable valley by Your Sacred House (the Kabah at Makkah); in
order, O our Lord, that they may perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat),
so fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and (O Allah)
provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks.
38 "O our Lord! Certainly, You know what we conceal and what we
reveal. Nothing on the earth or in the heaven is hidden from Allah.
39 "All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has given me in old
age Ismail (Ishmael) and Ishaque (Isaac). Verily! My Lord is indeed
the All-Hearer of invocations.
40 "O my Lord! Make me one who performs As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat),
and (also) from my offspring, our Lord! And accept my invocation.
41 "Our Lord! Forgive me and my parents, and (all) the believers on
the Day when the reckoning will be established."
42 Consider not that Allah is unaware of that which the Zalimoon
(polytheists, wrong-doers, etc.) do, but He gives them respite up to a
Day when the eyes will stare in horror.
43 (They will be) hastening forward with necks outstretched, their
heads raised up (towards the sky), their gaze returning not towards
them and their hearts empty (from thinking because of extreme
fear).
44 And warn (O Muhammad SAW) mankind of the Day when the torment will
come unto them; then the wrong-doers will say: "Our Lord! Respite us
for a little while, we will answer Your Call and follow the
Messengers!" (It will be said): "Had you not sworn aforetime that you
would not leave (the world for the Hereafter).
45 "And you dwelt in the dwellings of men who wronged themselves, and
it was clear to you how We had dealt with them. And We put forth
(many) parables for you."
46 Indeed, they planned their plot, and their plot was with Allah,
though their plot was a great (one, still) it would never be able to
remove the mountains (real mountains or the Islamic law) from their
places (as it is of no importance) (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Vol. 2, Page
597). (It is said by some interpreters regarding this Verse that the
Quraish pagans plotted against Prophet Muhammad SAW to kill him but
they failed and were unable to carry out their plot which they
plotted).
47 So think not that Allah will fail to keep His Promise to His
Messengers. Certainly, Allah is All-Mighty, - All-Able of
Retribution.
48 On the Day when the earth will be changed to another earth and so
will be the heavens, and they (all creatures) will appear before
Allah, the One, the Irresistible.
49 And you will see the Mujrimoon (criminals, disbelievers in the
Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism, polytheists, disobedient to
Allah, etc.) that Day bound together in fetters; (Muqarranoon in
fetters; mean:- with their hands and feet tied to their necks with
chains.)
50 Their garments will be of pitch, and fire will cover their
faces.
51 That Allah may requite each person according to what he has
earned. Truly, Allah is Swift at reckoning.
52 This (Quran) is a Message for mankind (and a clear proof against
them), in order that they may be warned thereby, and that they may
know that He is the only One Ilah (God - Allah) - (none has the right
to be worshipped but Allah), and that men of understanding may take
heed.

this planet...so who are we...you , me or even your so-called 'prophet
muhamad''...and his fairy tales story book?......
With this sort of comparison....who are we?.....answer is...we human
is 'Nobody' especially in the spiritual world...cos, when we die we
just turned to be a 'ghost' regardless who you are.....you think by
holding that story book made you to become 'somebody' in the spiritual

What thoughts cross your mind? Memories of family and friends? Panic?
Regrets? Remembrance of Allah? What is death? What happens to us after
we die? What is life in the Hereafter like, this new and strange world
after death? Do we lose consciousness of this life? Where does our
soul go? Do we feel and think the same?
The ineffable feeling of crossing the boundary between this world and
the next cannot be described in words, nor imagined in the mind, but
can be understood only through divine revealation and inspiration. Let
us for the next few moments seek an understanding of this, death, the
only certainty in life.
Sometimes we may not want to know about the processes that occur after
we die because we are afraid or don't want to think about it. However,
this is not the attitude of a Muslim. We should be foremost in
learning and understanding death, so we can live our lives
accordingly. The prophet (saw) said, "Live in this world as though you
are a stranger or a traveler (passing through it)." [Muslim] We are on
a journey and should know about the whole journey's itinerary, not
just one part.
Death is inevitable. It is the one thing that we can be certain about
in life. We are born to die. Every soul shall have a taste of death no
matter who they are. This is confirmed for us many times in the Quran:
"Every soul shall have a taste of death: and only on the Day of
Judgement shall you be paid your full recompense." (Quran 3:185)
"Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and
by good, by way of trial. To Us must you return." (21:35)
"Every soul shall have a taste of death: In the end to Us shall you be
brought back." (29:57)
Death is not pure annihilation, but rather both the living and dead
are aware, but there is a difference that can't be compared. Death is
merely movement from one world to another. It can be described as a
journey through a wormhole to a separate dimension of existence.
We begin this journey in our mother's wombs. 120 days after
conception the soul is blown into the fetus. Narrated 'Abdullah bin
Mus'ud: "Allah's Apostle, the true and truly inspired said, '(The
matter of the Creation of) a human being is put together in the womb
of the mother in forty days, and then he becomes a clot of thick blood
for a similar period, and then a piece of flesh for a similar period.
Then Allah sends an angel who is ordered to write four things. He is
ordered to write down his (i.e. the new creature's) deeds, his
livelihood, his (date of) death, and whether he will be blessed or
wretched (in religion). Then the soul is breathed into him'"[Bukhari]
We have no choice in who our parents are, our race, color or
nationality. "He it is Who shapes you in the wombs as He pleases.
There is no god but He, The Exalted in Might, The Wise." (3:6) Allah
knows all of this before our birth even, but we still continue our
journey to fulfill our destiny.
The next part of our trip begins after we are born. This is the life
of this world, in which we now reside and are familiar with. We may
stay at this station for a few seconds or as long as 100 years or
more. Here we grow up and acquire the means to happiness or misery. We
are given the ability to make choices after the age of puberty and we
will later be punished or rewarded based upon them. Allah gives each
of us the natural Fitrah, knowledge of good and bad as well as
right and wrong. The rest is up to us. As the Quran says, "By the
Soul, and the proportion and order given to it, and its enlightenment
as to its wrong and its right--Truly he succeeds that purifies it, and
he fails that corrupts it!" (91:7-10)
In this life, the soul and the body are together except during sleep
when the soul may leave the body and come back in the morning or Allah
may take the soul at that time. "It is Allah that takes the souls at
death; and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep: those on
whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning
to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term
appointed. Verily in this are Signs for those who reflect."
(39:42) It is indeed something to be pondered; that we die each night
and Allah gives us another chance at life when we wake up the next
day.
We also find continuous biological processes of life and death during
this time. In every cell, organ or system of organs, life and death is
occuring. There are several hundreds of thousands of enzymatic
reactions that take place in the body every fraction of a second. Some
of these biochemical reactions are used to synthesize living materials
while others are either used to synthesize dead materials or to get
rid of living materials. "You (Allah) bring the Living out
of the Dead, and You bring the Dead out of the Living" (3:27)
This part of our journey ends as our death begins.
No one knows where, how and when he or she will die. "Verily, the
knowledge of the hour is with Allah (alone). It is He who sends down
rain, and He who knows what is in the wombs, nor does anyone know what
it is that he will earn on the morrow. Nor does anyone know in
what land he is to die. Verily, with Allah is full knowledge and He is
acquainted (with all things.)" (31:34) Nor does anyone have the right
to take his or her own life. If they do they will
automatically go to Hell. The One who gave life is the only one who
has the right to take life.
When someone begins to die the Angel of Death or Izraeel comes to take
the soul out of the body and puts it in a place called the Barzakh.
"Say: 'The Angel of Death, put in charge of you, will (duly) take your
souls. Then shall you be brought back to your Lord." (32:11) "Wherever
you are, Death will find you out, even if you are in towers built up
strong and high! " (4:78)
For those who led a life of evil, the removal of the soul is tough and
difficult. Sometimes, more than one angel has to work together to beat
the face and back of the deceased. But for those who lived a good
life, the soul yearns to meet its Lord and leaves the body with ease,
like a drop of water pouring out. A light like the sun's ray and a
sweet fragrance come out to the soul. Then it ascends amid rows of
angels, but those who are there cannot see or smell this. The deceased
is questioned, punished, beaten, and wails, and cries out. All this
happens while they lie dead and their family is around them, but they
neither hear nor see it. The sleeper dreams and enjoys their dream or
is tormented by it, while someone awake at their side is not able to
perceive what is going on at all.
Allah has given inanimate objects awareness and perception by which
they glorify their Lord. The stones fall down out of fear of Him. The
mountains and trees prostrate. The pebbles, water and plants glorify
Him. All this is going on but we are not aware of it. "There is
nothing which does not glorify His praise but you do not understand
their glorification." (17:44) The Companions heard the food that was
being eaten glorifying Allah. That was because the Companions had a
transparency of heart that does not now exist among us. All these
things are part of our world and yet we are in complete ignorance of
them. It is not too much of an extrapolation to extend this to our
being unaware of the things of the Next World.
After the soul is taken, if it is a pure soul and has relatives in the
Next World who are people of the Garden, they come to meet the soul
with yearning and great joy. They ask it about the condition of those
who are still alive and 'suffering' in this world. The angels then
bear the soul from one heaven to the next until it comes into the
presence of Allah, Then it returns and sees the washing of the body,
its shrouding, and the funeral procession. It says either, 'Take me
forward! Take me forward!' or 'Where are you taking me?' The living,
of course, hear none of this. The soul comes back and stays floating
above the body and when the corpse is placed in the
grave, the soul inserts itself between the body and the shroud so that
the questioning can take place.
Whenever someone died, the prophet (saw) would stand for awhile at the
burial site and then say, "Seek forgiveness for your (Muslim) brother
and pray for his steadfastness since he is now being questioned." [Abu
Dawud]
The angels pray for the soul of the believer in the heavens just as
people pray over the body on earth. The soul hears the receding
footfall of the last of the people who followed the funeral and the
earth is levelled over them. The earth or even a rock hollowed out and
sealed over with lead, would not prevent the two angels, Munkar and
Nakir from reaching it.
This is all narrated in the following sound hadith of the prophet
(saw): "When the believer is about to depart from this world and go
forward into the Next World, angels with faces as bright as the sun
descend from the heavens and sit around him in throngs stretching as
far as the eye can see. Then the Angel of Death comes and sits at his
head and says, "Good soul, come out to forgiveness and pleasure from
Allah!" Then his soul emerges like a drop of water flows from a
water-skin and the angel takes hold of it. When he has grasped it, the
other angels do not leave it in his hand even for the twinkling of an
eye. They take it and place it in a perfumed shroud and fragrance
issues from it like the sweetest scent of musk found on the face of
the earth.'
"Then they bear it upwards and whenever they take it past a company of
angels, they ask, 'Who is this good soul?' and the angels with the
soul reply, 'So-and-so the son of so-and-so,' using the best names by
which people used to call him in this world. They bring him to the
lowest heaven and ask for the gate to be opened for him. It is opened
for him and angels who are near Allah from each of the heavens
accompany him to the subsequent heaven until he reaches to the heaven
where Allah the Great is. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says,
'Register the book of My slave in 'Illiyun and take him back to earth.
I created them from it and I return them to it and I will bring them
forth from it again.'
"His soul is then returned to his body and two angels come to him.
They make him sit up and say to him, 'Who is your Lord?' He replies,
'My Lord is Allah.' They ask him, 'What is your religion?' He replies,
'My religion is Islam.' They ask him, 'Who is this man who was sent
among you?' He replies, 'The Messenger of Allah. Then a Voice from on
high declares, 'My slave has spoken the truth, so spread out carpets
from the Garden for him and open a gate of the Garden for him!'
"Then some of its fragrance and perfume comes to him, his grave is
expanded for him as far as the eye can see, and a man with beautiful
garments and a fragrant scent comes to him and says, 'Rejoice in what
delights you for this is the day which you were promised.' He asks,
'Who are you? Yours is a face which presages good.' He replies, 'I am
your good actions.' Then he says, 'O Lord, let the Last Hour come soon
so that I may rejoin my family and my property!'
"When an unbeliever is about to depart from this world and go forward
into the Next World, angels with black faces descend from the heavens
carrying rough hair-cloth and sit around him in throngs stretching as
far as the eye can see. Then the Angel of Death comes and sits at his
head and says, 'Foul soul, come out to the wrath and anger of Allah!'
Then his soul divides up in his body and it is dragged out like a
skewer is pulled out of wet wool. Then the angel takes hold of it.
When he has grasped it, the other angels do not leave it in his hand
even for the twinkling of an eye. They take it and wrap it in the
rough haircloth and a stench comes out of it like the worst stench of
a corpse on the face of the earth.'
"Then they take it up and whenever they take it past a company of
angels, they ask, 'Who is this foul soul?' and the angels with the
soul reply, 'So-and-so the son of so-and-so,' using the worst names by
which people used to call him in this world. They bring him to the
lowest heaven and ask for the gate to be opened for him. It does not
get opened.'
"The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, then
recited, 'The gates of heaven will not be opened to them nor will they
enter the Garden until the camel passes through the eye of the
needle.' (7:40) Then Allah the Mighty and Majestic, will say,
'Register his book in Sijjin in the lowest earth.' Then his soul is
flung down. The Prophet then recited, 'Whoever associates anything
with Allah, it is as though he has fallen from heaven and the birds
snatch him away or the wind sweeps him headlong into a place far
away.' (22:31)
"Then his soul is returned to his body and two angels come and say to
him, 'Who is your Lord?' He replies, 'Alas, alas, I do not know!' Then
a voice calls from on high, 'My slave has lied, so spread out carpets
from the Fire for him and open a gate of the Fire for him!' then a hot
blast from it comes to him, his grave is made so narrow for him that
his ribs are pressed together, and a man with a hideous face and
clothing and a foul odour comes to him and says, 'Grieve on
account of what has brought you disgrace for this is the day which you
were promised.' He asks, 'Who are you? Yours is a face which presages
evil.' He replies, 'I am your bad actions.' Then he says, 'O Lord, do
not let the Last Hour come!'"
This life in the grave or Interspace is the next part of our journey.
An 'interspace' is something that separates two things: heaven and
earth, this world and the Next World or the period between death and
resurrection. The bliss or punishment of the Interpsace is not the
same as that of the Herafter, but rather something that happens
between the two worlds.
In death, the body remains in the ground while the soul is in the
interspace or Barzakh between the two worlds. However, the two are
still connected and so the bliss or punishment happens to both of
them. When Allah desires bliss or punishment for the soul, He connects
it to the body. This is dependent on the will of Allah and dependent
on a person's own actions. The soul is diffused in more than one place
at the same time. The proof of this is that the prophet (saw) saw Musa
(as) on the night of the Night Journey standing in prayer in his grave
and he also saw him in the sixth and seventh heavens.
During this life in the grave part of our journey the souls are
divided into two groups: one group is punished and the other group is
in bliss. Usually when we think of the 'grave', it is a word that
inspires fear. We are pained, but not aware of the delight it can
contain. Indeed, the bliss of the Grave is better than any delight
that this world can offer.
The liberated souls of those who are in bliss visit each other and
discuss what happened in the world they have left and the people of
that world. Allah says, "Whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger, they
are with those whom Allah has blessed, the prophets, the sincere, the
martyrs and the righteous. Very excellent companions they are!" (4:69)
As the hadiths narrate, if the soul was a believing one, a door onto
the fire is opened and the soul is shown it's place in the Fire had
they disobeyed Allah. Then that door is locked and another door onto
the Garden is opened and they are shown their place there. This door
will remain open until the Day of Rising. Some of the sweetness and
fragrance of the Garden reaches them and their grave is made spacious.
The believer sleeps in peace just as if they were in one of the
meadows of the Garden. Their narrow grave expands and stretches for
the soul as far as the eye can see.
This spaciousness, light and greenery in which the believer remains
from the time of his death until the Day of Rising is not the same as
we know in our world. If a living person were to open a grave, they
would not find any expanse, light or greenness there. They would not
find an open door through which they could see the Garden. They do not
see bliss or torment. It is only the dead person who is aware of these
things and sees them. Allah, through His wisdom, has the power to veil
this from the living. The proof that this is so is shown by the fact
that there are other creatures like the Jinn who live with us on the
earth. They converse in raised voices among us but we do not see or
hear them. There were angels who fought with the believers (at Badr)
and struck down the unbelievers and shouted at them, but the Muslims
did not see or hear them. Jibril came to the prophet (saw) in the
midst of the people and they did not see or hear
them.
If however the soul was a disbelieving one, a door to the Garden is
opened for the unbeliever and they are told to look at what their
place would have been in the Garden had they obeyed Allah. Then it is
locked and another door is opened and they are told to look at their
place in the fire. It stays open and the blast of hot air from it
continues to reach them until the Day of Rising. The earth presses in
on them and they are crushed to the point that their ribs split apart.
If a righteous person were to be buried in a fiery furnace, their
portion of bliss would still reach their soul and body and Allah
would make the fire cool and peaceful for them. For the wrongdoer,
the cool air becomes fire and hot wind. The elements and the matter
of the universe obey their Lord, Originator and Creator. None of them
are able to do anything except what He wills and everything obeys His
will in humble submission to His decree.
This part of our journey in our graves is still mostly unknown
territory. Outwardly the grave is stillness and quiet while inwardly
it contains secrets and terrors which an ordinary person cannot
percieve. It is a strange fact that animals are able to hear the
punishment in the grave while human beings as a general rule cannot.
The prophet (saw) said, "They are punished and the animals hear it."
Various forms of punishment rain down on a person in the grave
according to the type of wrong actions they committed. There are
hadiths of the prophet (saw) about the Night Journey which contain
descriptions of the many types of punishment he saw in the interspace
between the two worlds.
There are those who are driven like cattle and forced to eat herbage
more bitter than aloes and the bitter fruit of Zaqqum and driven on
to the hot stones of Jahannam because they did not purify their
property by paying Zakat.
There are those who have to eat foul putrid meat because they
fornicated. Some of them have bellies as big as houses and whenever
one of them gets up, they are knocked down and say, "O Allah, do not
let the Hour come!" They are in the path of the people of Pharaoh who
come and trample them while they can do nothing but scream. These are
people who devoured usury.
Some of them are screaming with their mouths gaping open while they
devour hot coals which come out of their anuses. These are people
who consumed the property of orphans.
Some of them cut pieces from their own sides and eat their own
flesh. They are the slanderers and those about whom the prophet
(saw) said, "We saw people cutting flesh from their sides and eating
it. It was said, "As you used to consume the flesh of your brother!"
I asked, "Who are they?" and I was told, "Those of your community who
slandered." Some of them have brass nails with which they scratch
their faces and chests. They are those who were backbiters and
maligned peoples honour.
Part of the hadith of the Night Journey is as follows: "Some people
were cracking open their heads with a stone. Every time they did
this, their heads were restored to what they were like in the first
place. This went on and on without stopping. I said, "Jibril, who
are they?" Jibril replied, "They are the people who turned away from
the prayer."
All of this shows that the Punishment of the Grave is true beyond any
doubt.
"Race to forgiveness from your Lord, and a Garden whose breadth is
like the breadth of the Heaven and the Earth" (57:21)
The intelligent are those who protect themselves against the evil of
this punishment before it is too late. They know with certainty that
sooner or later this day will come and maybe without any warning.
When it does, they will leave behind everything and move to another
world. Only there will they feel regret, but regret then will not
do them any good. In that place, only good actions will be of any
use. They alone will be useful currency on that Critical day. Only
with them will a person be able to purchase a magnificent mansion in
the Garden with all the luxuries and blessings it contains, an
everlasting mansion, not one which will disappear as things do in
this world. The intelligent person is the one who acts for this world
as if they were going to live forever and acts for the Next World as
if they were going to die tomorrow.
The Grave is an embrace from which neither believer or unbeliever can
escape. Our souls stay in the Barzakh and visit the grave regularly
for rewards or punishments. Afterwards, our journey continues and
the believer is relieved of its pressure while the unebliever remains
in punishment.
The next part of our journey includes the rebirth from what is left
of our bodies, the seed and its embryo, called Ajaf of the sacrum.
This method of rebirth of human beings is as simple as the rebirth of
a plant from its own seeds. Plants carry seeds that have their
genetic traits embedded on chromosomes. The genes on the chromosomes
carry everything needed to bring the plant back to its shape, height,
variety, chemical composition and other characteristics. In the same
way, the embryos of human beings germinate and the new life will
start on the Day of Rising.
Allah instructs Angel Israfeel to blow the horn twice. The first is
to ready every seed for germination. Water of Life is then poured
upon these seeds in their graves. The soul comes back from the
barzakh to join its biological entity at this time. The second blow
of the trumpet helps those seeds to germinate and produce every
person back to normal. They come out of their graves in a state of
shock, naked without any clothes or shoes.
"The trumpet will be sounded when all that are in the heavens and in
the earth will swoon except such as will please Allah (to exempt).
Then will a second one be sounded, when, behold, they will be
standing and looking on!" (39:68) "The trumpet shall be sounded,
when behold! From the sepulchres (men and women) will rush forth to
their Lord! They will say: 'Ah! Woe unto us! Who had raised us up
from out beds of repose?' (A voice will say: ) 'This is what Allah,
Most Gracious had promised, and true was the word of the messengers!"
(36:51-52)
Everyone will be raised up with the same identification features down
to our very fingerprints. "Does man think that We cannot assemble
his bones? Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the
very tips of his fingers." (75:3-4)
After our rebirth our journey continues as each of us is taken to a
place of Assembly. "On that day We shall leave them to surge life
waves on one another. The trumpet will be blown, and We shall collect
them all together. (18:99) All will be waiting for the Court of
Allah, the Court of Justice to decide for them. The Day of Assembly
is a day of fear, agony and anxiety. It is a day when each of us
will be worried about what will happen to us personally. "At length,
when there comes the Deafening Noise--that day shall a man flee from
his own brother, and from his mother and his father, and from his
wife and his children. Each one of them, that Day, will have enough
concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others."
(80:33-37)
With the heat of sun, sweating, and presence of too many people next
to one another, the situation will be very scary and chaotic. "O
mankind! Fear your Lord! For the convulsion of the Hour (of
Judgement) will be a thing terrible! The Day you shall see it, every
mother giving suck shall forget her suckling babe, and every pregnant
female shall drop her load (unformed). You shall see mankind as in a
drunken riot, yet not drunk; but dreadful will be the Chastisement of
Allah." (22:1-2)
On this day seven groups of people will be protected by Allah, these
are mentioned in Hadith: "Seven types of people will be under the
shelter of mercy on the Day when there will be no shade other than
that of Allah's mercy: 1) a just imam, 2) a young person who kept
busy in Allah's worship, 3) a person whose heart is attached to the
masjid, 4)two people who loved each other for Allah's sake, gathered
for His sake and parted, remembering Him, 5) a man who was invited by
a beautiful and charming woman but declined her offer, saying "I fear
Allah"; 6) a person who gave charity so secretly that their left hand
did not know what was given by the right hand , and 7) a person who
remembered Allah privately, so that their eyes brimmed with tears."
[Bukhari, Muslim]
Each person shall then be grouped behind his or her leader, prophet,
messenger, mentor, celebrity, etc. All will be put in lines waiting
for the Court of Allah to take place and our journey to continue. "On
the day We shall call together all human beings with their
(respective) Imams" (17:71)
Judgement Day will be our next stop. This is the day when Allah
personally will judge everyone directly with absolute justice. Abu
Hurayrah related that the prophet (saw) said: "Every servant of Allah
will remain standing before Allah on the Day of Judgement until he
has answered five questions about five things: His life--how he spent
it; his knowledge--how much he acted upon it; his wealth--how he
acquired it and how he spent it; and his body (and health)--how he
used it." [Muslim]
Each person will then receive their book that contains each and every
thing they have done from the time of birth till death. This book
includes activites, appearance and intention. Such a book could be
similar to videotape which records all these three paramaters. It is
not unfathomable to think about this in a time in which we have
CDRoms whose glinting thin surface contains encyclopedias full of
information.
"Then he who is given his Record in his right hand, soon will his
account be taken by an easy reckoning, and he will turn to his
people, rejoicing!" (84:7-9) "And he that will be given his Record in
his left hand will say: "Ah! Would that my record had not been given
to me!" (69:25) Their faces will be in gloom and they will be
distressed with fear and anxiety. They will wish and beg to start
their life all over again on the earth
Allah will also select a third group of people: "And those Foremost
(in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). These will be those
Nearest to Allah. In Gardens of bliss: a number of people from those
of old, and a few from those of later times. (They will be) on
Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones), reclining on them,
facing each other." (56:10-16)
This is where we near the end of our journey. We shall enter the
everlasting domain, which comprises of the Garden and the Fire.
There is no trip after it for it is the Domain of Eternity.
We shall pass over Hellfire, some of us remaining while others
continue on. "Not one of you but will pass over it: this is, with thy
Lord, a Decree which must be accomplished. But We shall save those
who guarded against evil, and We shall leave the wrongdoers therein,
(humbled) to their knees." (19:71-72)
The prophet (saw) said: "The mildest punishment to be inflicted upon
a person in Hell is that he will be made to wear a pair of sandals
made of fire which will be so hot that they will make his brain boil
like things boil on a stove. He will imagine that no one is
undergoing a punishment more severe although his punishment, in
reality, will be the mildest in Hell." [Bukhari, Muslim]
Others who are not qualified to enter Paradise or Hell may be taken
to a waiting station called Al- A'raf, to wait until forgiveness is
given to them through the Mercy of Allah.
Others will finally end their journey with their life in Paradise.
It is the last destination and hope of every person to arrive here.
It is reserved for believers who submitted themselves to Allah and
followed His teachings. They are the ones whose loyalty and obedience
were to Allah. Paradise has all the beauties of life to enjoy
without ever being tired. It is a life of excitement, peace and
happiness. The prophet (saw) said: "Allah, the Almighty, says, 'I
have prepared for My righteous servants that which no eyes have ever
seen, no ears have ever heard and no heart has ever conceieved.'"
[Bukhari, Muslim]
This Life After is called the Real and the True Life. The Quran
explicitly refers to the Life After as the True Life while the life
in this world is a superficial one. "What is the life of this world
but amusement and play? But verily the Home of the Hereafter -- that
is Life indeed, if they but knew." (29:64)
After completing this journey vicariously here, we should rethink our
lives and our deeds as we do them today. We can hide from each
other, and ourselves but we cannot hide from Allah. It won't be long
before we are pushed along to the next part of our journey. Time
passes quickly and is precious. Everything we do now affects our
journey at a later stage. Everything is recorded; our deeds,
appearances and even hidden intentions. As travelers, we can prepare
and change to make our journey and especially our final stop a better
one. Perhaps even one small deed or choice we make can save us if we
keep conscious.
Among the dreams of the early Muslims is one related by Yazid b
Nu'ama who said, "A girl died in the al-Jarib plague. Her father met
her in a dream after her death and asked her to tell him about the
Next World. She replied, 'My father, this is a big subject you have
raised. We know but cannot act. You can act but do not know. By
Allah, one or two acts of glorification and one or two rakats of the
prayer in the book of my actions are preferable to me than the world
and all it contains.'"
The prophet (saw) related in a true dream he had:
" He saw one of the muslims. The Angel of Death came to take his
soul but his correct behavior towards his parents came and drove the
Angel of Death away from him.'
" He saw another of the muslims surrounded by shaytans. Then his
remembrance of Allah came and made the shaytans fly from him.'
"Then he saw a thrid muslim surrounded by the angels of punishment.
His prayer came and rescued him from their hands.'
"The tongue of a fourth muslim was lolling out from thirst and
whenever he approached a pool of water, he was stopped and driven
away. Then his fasting of Ramadan came and gave him water to drink.'
" He saw another man and the prophets sitting in circles. Everytime
the muslim approached one of the circles, he was stopped and driven
away. His ghusl for janaba came, took hold of his hand, and sat him
down in the circle.'
"Another muslim had darkness in front of him, behind him, on his
right, on his left and above him. He was completely lost in it.
Then his hajj and umra came and led him out of the darkness into the
light.'
"Another muslim was being pursued by flames and sparks of fire. His
sadaqa formed a veil between him and the fire and shaded his head.'
"Another muslim was speaking to a group of believers who would not
speak to him. His upholding of kinship came and told the group of
believers that he had maintained ties of kinship and ordered them to
speak to him. Then the believers spoke to him and shook hands with
him.'
"Another muslim was surrounded by the Zabaniyya (angels of Jahannam).
His commanding the right and forbidding the wrong came and rescued
him from them and put him among the angels of mercy.'
"Another muslim was kneeling with a veil between him and Allah. His
good character came, took his hand and Allah let him enter His
presence.'
"Another muslim had received his book in his left hand. His fear of
Allah came and took his book and placed it in his right hand.'
"The scales of another muslim were light in the balance. Those of his
children who had died young came and made the scales level.'
"Another muslim was standing on the brink of Jahannam. His hope in
Allah came and rescued him from it, and he withdrew from it.'
"Another muslim had fallen into the fire. The tears that he had wept
out of fear from Allah came and rescued him from it.'
"Another muslim was standing on the Sirat trembling like a leaf in a
strong wind. His good opinion of Allah came and his terror was
allayed and he was able to go on.'
"Another muslim was crawling on the Sirat, sometimes creeping, and
sometimes just clinging on. His prayer came and put him on his feet
and rescued him.'
"Another muslim reached the gates of the Garden but they were locked
against him. His testimony that there is no god but Allah came and
opened the gates for him and let him into the garden."
Let us pray that we are among those who work to have an easy trip and
have as the end to their journey, the final abode of Paradise. O
Allah, We seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave. O
Allah, help us to live and die as Muslims and help us to understand
the true object of this life. O Allah, grant us good in this life
and good in the life to come, and save us from the torment of the
Hellfire.
"We hear and we obey. Forgive us, our Lord!
To You is the journey's end." (2:285)
Ameen.
"Every soul shall have a taste of death: and only on the Day of
Judgement shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is save
far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the
object (of Life): For the life of this world is but goods and
chattels of deception" (3:185)

The Quran again reinforce human to use their brain and not be a blind
follower
The root of the word TAFAKKUR is F-K-R. This root appears in Quran
about 18 times. It has the following meanings:
- To think upon, consider or examine a thing
- To consider a thing in order to obtain a clear knowledge of it
- To employ one’s mind, thought or mental consideration upon
something
- To reflect, think on, ponder over
- To consider, contemplate, ponder with care, attention and endeavour
- Arranging of known things [in the mind] in order to attain [the
knowledge of] unknown [thing]
Importance of thinking, contemplation and reflection according to
Quran
Please refer to the following verses:
Say, “I only exhort you to do ONE thing: That you rise for the sake
of
Allah in pairs or singly and THINK & REFLECT!...” [34:46]
Say, “Are the ones who are blind in respect of the mind equal to
those
who are endowed with mental perception and understanding? Will you
not
then THINK & REFLECT?” [6:50]
Allah makes clear to you Al-Ayaat, so that you may THINK & REFLECT
[2:219, 2:266]
Verily, in the creation of the heaven and the earth, and in the
alteration of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of
understanding-those who remember [the Guidance of] Allah standing,
sitting and lying down on their sides, and THINK & REFLECT about the
creation of the heavens and the earth… [3:190-191]
We explain in detail Al-Ayaat for the people who THINK & REFLECT
[10:24]
And it is He who spread out the earth, and set thereon mountains
standing firm and (flowing) rivers: and fruit of every kind He made
in
pairs, two and two: He draweth the night as a veil o'er the Day.
Behold, verily in these things there are Ayaat [proofs, evidences,
lessons, signs, etc.] for those who THINK & REFLECT! [13:3]
It is He who sends down rain from the sky: from it ye drink, and out
of it (grows) the vegetation on which ye feed your cattle. With it He
produces for you corn, olives, date-palms, grapes and every kind of
fruit Behold, verily in these things there are Ayaat [proofs,
evidences, lessons, signs, etc.] for those who THINK & REFLECT!
[16:10-11]
We have sent down unto thee the Message; that you may explain clearly
to men what is sent for them, and that they may THINK & REFLECT!
[16:44]
And thy Lord inspired the bee, saying: Choose thou habitations in the
hills and in the trees and in that which they thatch; Then eat of all
fruits, and follow the ways of thy Lord, made smooth (for thee).
There
comes forth from their bellies a drink divers of hues, wherein is
healing for mankind. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for people who
THINK & REFLECT [16:68-69]
Do they not THINK & REFLECT in their own selves [or minds]? Not but
for just ends and for a term appointed, did Allah create the heavens
and the earth, and all between them: yet are there truly many among
men who deny the meeting with their Lord (at the Resurrection)!
[30:8]
And among His Signs is this that He created for you mates from among
yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has
put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs
for
those who THINK & REFLECT [30:21].
It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that
die
not (He takes) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the
decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the rest
He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed verily in this are
Signs for those who THINK & REFLECT [39:42].
And He has made subservient to you whatsoever is in the heavens and
whatsoever is in the earth, all, from Himself; most surely there are
signs in this for a people who THINK & REFLECT [45:13].Had We sent
down this Quran on a mountain, you would certainly have seen it
falling down, splitting asunder because of the fear of Allah, and We
set forth these parables to men that they may THINK & REFLECT
[59:21].

Be honest. If you don't have the evidence, just say so. I will let you
off.

I have brains. That is why I ask questions. Only zombies don't follow
blind teachings. Anyway, you still haven't answered these questions I
raiised earlier on. Don't run.
> Death is merely movement from one world to another. It can be described as a
> journey through a wormhole to a separate dimension of existence.
What is this wormhole and where is this dimension of existence?
> We begin this journey in our mother's wombs. 120 days after
> conception the soul is blown into the fetus. Narrated 'Abdullah bin
> Mus'ud: "Allah's Apostle, the true and truly inspired said, '(The
> matter of the Creation of) a human being is put together in the womb
> of the mother in forty days, and then he becomes a clot of thick
> blood
> for a similar period, and then a piece of flesh for a similar period.
> Then Allah sends an angel who is ordered to write four things. He is
> ordered to write down his (i.e. the new creature's) deeds, his
> livelihood, his (date of) death, and whether he will be blessed or
> wretched (in religion).
Aha! Then a man's character, behaviour, career is all determined by
your god. Is it? That means Bush was programmed to invade Iraq. So
rightly, his programmer should be blamed. Right?
>Then the soul is breathed into him'"[Bukhari]
> We have no choice in who our parents are, our race, color or
> nationality. "He it is Who shapes you in the wombs as He pleases.
> There is no god but He, The Exalted in Might, The Wise." (3:6) Allah
> knows all of this before our birth even, but we still continue our
> journey to fulfill our destiny.
How about pregnancies out of wedlock? Does your god sanction them? If
he is against it, then his angels should have nothing to with the
baby. Right?
Answer carefully, because I am going to pummel you on your answers, if
you dare to reply.

Just out of curiosity how many of these scientists have been awarded
the Nobel Prize?

Typo in 2nd para. Amend it to read as follows:
I have brains. That is why I ask questions. Only zombies follow
blind teachings. Anyway, you still haven't answered these questions I
raised earlier on. Don't run.
darion
allright, I will be honests with you. there is no harm being honest to
argumentative person.
so yes, if I do not have the evidence I will say so.
and you will let me go.
now you can't and you won't let me go.
because I have evidence but won't tell you.
I will only tell it to the intelligence. not you.
so .... you are hooked.
by me.
it's the truth and nothing but the truth.
sorry.
The Cynic
The evidence you have is HOT AIR. Only those matching your
intelligence will admire you..
