Interpretation of the Quran- Surat Al-Nisa' (4)- Lesson (28) Verses [56-57]: Approachand Miracle

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of Creations, and Peace and blessings be upon our prophet Muhammad, the faithfuland the honest.

Oh, Allah, w e know nothing but w hat You teach us. You are the All- Know er, the Wise. Oh Allah, teach usw hat is good for us, and benefit us from w hat You taught us, and increase our know ledge. Show us therighteous things as righteous and help us to do them, and show us the bad things as bad and help us to keepaw ay from them.

O Allah our Lord, lead us out from the depths of darkness and illusion, unto the lights of erudition andknow ledge, and from the muddy shallow s of lusts unto the heavens of Your Vicinity.

The vast universe refers to the Creator:

With the 28th lesson of Al Nisaa chapter (The Women), and w ith the verse 56 that says:

﴾Those who reject our Signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire: as often as their skins are roastedthrough, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty: for Allah is Exalted

in Power, Wise.﴿

[Al Nisaa'a: Verse 56]

Dear Brothers Allah Almighty says:

﴾Those who reject our Signs...﴿


You all know that our visions as creatures comprehend not Allah Almighty, but yet this entire vast-edgeduniverse points to Him, the poet says:

And in everything He (Allah Almighty) owns a signThat guides to an only One true divine.

***

So if a person sincerely w anted to believe, perhaps a piece of dung might lead him to the creator of theuniverse, as the Bedouin once said:

Disbelievers don’t want to know the truth:

Cattles are found w hen there is manure, Humans are found w hen there are footprints, Springs are found w hen there are streaming w aters, How could a heaven full of zodiacal signs and an earth full of ravines lead not to One Who is Wise, One

Who is All-Aw are? There is a certain matter in the holy Qur'an that is really remarkable, Allah Almighty says:

﴾Those who reject our Signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire: as often as their skins are roasted

through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty: for Allah is Exaltedin Power, Wise. (56)But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness….﴿

[Al Nisaa'a: Verse 56, 57...]

Do w e believe in this verse? And if w e do, how do w e benefit from it? It seems that if a person w anted to believe, really w anted to know Allah Almighty, really w anted to know the

truth, and really w anted to understand and comprehend, then everything in this universe shall lead him to AllahAlmighty. But if he w anted the lusts, the material benefits of this low er life, and the superiority & ego on earth;then he shall not believe even if he w as w orking in the biggest space station on earth seeing hundreds ofgalaxies everyday!! Even if he looked into an electronic microscope that magnif ies the tiniest creatures of AllahAlmighty 400,000 times, then he shall not believe, for he is exactly like a highly complicated camera, extremelyexpensive, w ith unbelievable specif ications, but yet this camera has no f ilm inside of it!! Thus, it's completelyw orthless.

So this intelligent human being that has been diving into the seas of sciences, and has obtained the highestscientif ic degrees - if the purpose behind obtaining all of this know ledge w as a lust, a material profit, areputation, a w ealth, or even for the sole sake of remembrance or mentioning, then he shall not believe,regardless of how surrounded he is by extremely clear and noticeable signs that might lead him to AllahAlmighty. On the other hand, the one w ho seeks the truth, the guidance, the faith, and w anted to know , then thesmallest things in the universe shall lead him to Allah Almighty; his ow n son w ill testify for him how he himselfw as created, as w ill as the Sun, the Moon, his food, his drinks, his w ife, his sleep, his w akefulness, the rainw ater, sparrow s, birds, f ish, seas, or mountains.

Allah Almighty has said:

﴾Let man consider his food﴿

[Abasa: verse 24]

Considering his ow n food is enough, considering his ow n marriage is enough, it is enough if he consideredthe stages of creation of his ow n children. These are all enough signs for him to know Allah Almighty.

So the disbeliever is a person w ho did not w ant to know the truth in the f irst place. He w anted the lusts ofthis low er life. He w anted to soak in the cheap pleasures; he w anted w ealth, and his ow n god is his ow ndesire.

Visions can’t comprehend Allah, but His deeds, and speech refer to Him

﴾Those who reject our Signs…﴿


There are a lot of signs that lead to Allah Almighty, and it has been said that there are universal signs thatlead to Allah Almighty, and there are readable signs as w ell. So, even if creatures' visions do not comprehendAllah Almighty, His deeds are obvious and clear. It's true that visions do not comprehend Him, but still His w ordsare amongst our hands, that's w hy it has been said before: “If you w ant to talk to your lord then pray to Him,and if you w ant Him to talk to you, then read the Holy Qur'an.”



Some people never minded these signs at all. They're like a person w ho has f looded w ater all over hishouse, w here it has ruined all of his furniture - so he rushes outside his house to f ind a piece of clothe to ban

the w ater from reaching the edges of the house as a reaction!!! Why? For he is gaining benefits from buying this piece of clothe, so he minds not any other solution, even if

it w as cheaper and better. That's w hy loving this low er life makes one blind and deaf. Indeed, w hen someoneloves this low er life he sees nothing but his interests…loving this low er life is the torch for every sin.

﴾Those who reject our Signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire﴿


All the creatures refused to undertake the Trust, w hen Allah Almighty offered it to them, the Heavens, theEarth, and the Mountains, all of them refused.

Man accepted to undertake the trust but other creatures refused:

﴾We did indeed offer the Trust to the Heavens and the Earth and the Mountains; but they refusedto undertake it, being afraid thereof: but man undertook it;﴿

[Al Ahzab: Verse 72]

For that reason, animals do not get tortured, since they're not charged or responsible, having refused toundertake the Trust that they w ere afraid of. And, Angels w ere to be w ith Allah Almighty w ithout being chargedor responsible, w hile animals chose lusts w ithout being responsible. But, the human race has undertaken it:

﴾We did indeed offer the Trust to the Heavens and the Earth and the Mountains; but they refusedto undertake it, being afraid thereof: but man undertook it;﴿

[Al Ahzab: Verse 72]

That's w hy Allah has combined the Mind pow er and the Desire pow er in the structure of a human being, agrip from the dirt of the earth, and a breath from the spirit of Allah. Thus, a human being holds extremelyopposite needs and desires, ones that are extremely high and noble, and ones that are extremely low . So if he(the man) satisf ies his desires upon the orders of Allah's method then he is on the safe side and no sins shallreach him:

﴾And who is more astray than one who follows his own lusts, devoid of guidance from Allah?﴿

[Al Qasas: Verse 50]

Thus, if a person follow s his desires upon the method and set of orders of Allah Almighty, then he holds nosins. So even though man holds w ithin him lusts and mind pow er, if his mind pow er transcends his lusts, thenhe is in a degree beyond angels, and if his lusts transcend over his mind pow er, then he is in a degree belowanimals. This is mankind w ho undertook the Trust, and said "I'm for it", but w hen he came to this life his lustshas overcome him, and thus he has breached his commitment w ith his Lord. And for that, he deserved the hellf ire.

Abuse is the act of those who move without an approach:

Dear brothers, w hen man believes that he might be aw arded w ith a heaven that contains w ithin it w hatnever an eye has seen, w hat never an ear has heard, or w hat has never came across a human's heart, and ifhe chooses not to believe, then he shall pay the price for his deviation fair and square. For, he has set his lustsloose to get satisf ied by prohibited means, that doesn't follow Allah's method, but follow s his ow n method and

desires. And, if someone moves w ithout a guided path, then it's obligatory for him to commit abuse as a result.Allah Almighty has said:

﴾Have you considered him who calls the judgment a lie?That is the one who treats the orphanwith harshness﴿

[Al-Maun: Verse 1, 2]

﴾But if they hearken not to thee, know that they only follow their own lusts﴿

[Al Qasas: Verse 50]



Whether they w ere universal signs, creational signs, or readable Signs (from the Qur'an).

﴾We shall soon cast into the Fire﴿


This is a threat from Allah Almighty of this hellf ire. But this f ire burns the skins, and in this case thedisbeliever might think that the suffering shall end once the skin is roasted and fully burnt, and by that he can'tfeel through it anymore. He might think, "I've spent my w hole life in forbidden pleasures and lusts, and once ourskins are burnt, the suffering shall end". But this is completely not the case, for w hen Allah Almighty promisesthe disbelievers w ith torturing, then His promise is a certain truth that shall happen; that's w hy Allah Almightysay has said:

﴾As their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may tastethe penalty﴿


The approach of Prophet Muhamad is his miracle

As a matter of fact, w hat is being tortured is the self w ithin, but this man's self is attached to a physicalbody. Consider it as if you w ere at the dentist, and he w ants to treat one of your teeth w ithout using ananesthetic. At the moment w hen his tools start reaching the nerve, think of the enormous pain you shall feel,w here you might scream from it and even attempt to grip the dentist's hand for him to stop! Why w ould you dothat? You do it because the pain signals have moved to the brain.

And others see that the pain has reached the self w ithin, and the skin and the other parts and organs arejust tools that transfer the pain to the self w ithin. That's w hy w hen the skin or these organs are anesthetized;the pain is not transferred to be felt by the inner self.

In the afterlife, Allah has promised to burn the disbelievers until inf inity and since the skin burns and getroasted through, Allah Almighty has said:

﴾As their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may tastethe penalty﴿


Dear brothers, there is a very delicate truth about the previous prophets and messengers. That is that theirprophecies and miracles w ere specif ied and exclusive for their ow n people, and their miracles w ere something

different from the method itself they came w ith. For example, Prophet Moses’ miracle w as the Rod, but hismethod w as the Torah; same w ith Prophet Jesus, his miracle w as reviving the dead w ith Allah's permission,and his method w as the Bible; but for the prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, his miracle matched hismethod. That is the Holy Qur'an, w here the miracle is the same as the method itself, and that is a privilege thatw as only given to the prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him, since he is the last prophet, and he w as sent toall the nations inhabiting this earth. Thus it's a miracle that shall continue till the Day of Judgment.

You can describe the miracles of the previous messengers as a matchstick that has illuminated only once,and then burnt out to be new s that any person can believe or disbelieve in. But Prophet Mohammad's - peace beupon him- miracle is amongst people's hand until the day of the resurrection.

Scientific miracle in the creation of gnats:

There is a verse in the "Cow " Chapter in the holy Qur'an that says:

﴾Surely Allah is not ashamed to set forth any parable-- (that of) a gnat or anything above﴿

[Al Baqara: Verse 26]

I have view ed a scientif ic research study about gnats (mosquitoes), and I used to talk on some occasionsabout this insect: that it has three hearts, of course each heart has four hollow ed chambers, tw o ventricles andtw o atria, each heart has its ow n valves and blood vessels, and each heart contracts in a shifting movement.That's w hat I've read, that it has three hearts: a central one and one heart for each w ing. And, it has itsow n radar-like organ that is used to determine the victim, such as the little child's forehead. It also has its ow nblood analysis organs, its ow n anesthetization device-like organ, its ow n blood dilution organ, and it has its ow npads that it uses w hen standing on a smooth surface, and claw s for standing on a rough surface. Also, itsw ings move so rapidly in a manner that leads to the buzzing sound w e hear.

After several years I saw another article about gnats (mosquitoes), and I discovered that they even havethe pow er to smell a human being's sw eat odor from a 60 kilometers distance!! And today, I saw another articlethat has really astonished me. It includes a paragraph from a brand new scientif ic encyclopedia, discoveringthat a mosquito has 1 hundred eyes covering its head. You shall f ind them distributed as bee cell blocks onceyou magnify its head. Each block has an eye, and the mosquito has, as w ell, thermal receptors that sense heatremotely. It has 1:1000 thermal sensitivity ratio per degree, so if you have one Celsius degree divided by 1000,then these thermal receptors can detect that thermal variance (upper or low er), in units of 0.001 of degree.

It has its ow n thermal coloring vision, w here objects are colored depending on their output temperature, andtheir smell, using its one hundred eyes. That is, if this mosquito is in a dark room, it can see the little childsleeping through its infra red vision, since infra red w aves are of thermal nature, and not of a photic nature.And as I said before, it detects temperature variances in units as small as 0,001 of a 1 Celsius degree, w here itspontaneously moves tow ards a child's forehead, as an example.Have you ever considered w ho has created this anesthetic substance in its body?

Imagine if this substance did not exist. Then, a mosquito w ould be squashed every time it attempts to bite ahuman being to suck his blood. After the anesthetization is done, the victim feels the sting on his body, and triesto squash the mosquito, but at that time it's too late, w here the gnat (mosquito) has already f low n.

But the unbelievable thing in a mosquito is that its hose has six knife-like pieces, four of them to cut the skin,and the remaining tw o combine together to create the blood sucking tube. Each of these tw o knifes is shapedas a convex cross sectioned tube, w here one is placed over the other to create a circular tube injected in thesleeping person's f lesh, after having the four previous knifes cut the skin from the four angles.

All of these qualities are found in a single mosquito or gnat: thermal receptors, six knifes in its hose, four ofthem to cut the skin, and the rest form together a tube for sucking the blood, one hundred eyes.. Who hascreated all of this? Who has created the anesthetic substance? Who has created the blood-dilution substance?Who has created for it the thermal receptors? Who has given it the ability to locate its preys directly? Who has

created three hearts in its body? Who has created its pads and claw s?

Scientific development shows more aspects of Allah’s Greatness:

What does Allah Almighty say?

﴾Surely Allah is not ashamed to set forth any parable-- (that of) a gnat or any thing above﴿

[Al Baqara: Verse 26]

This verse is indeed a scientif ic miracle; there is no creature lesser to a human being than a gnat, but noww hen you say the w ord gnat, remember everything it has from the one hundred eyes, up to the radar, thethermal receptors, the Anesthetization device, and the blood dilution device. It is extremely amazing!!

Dear brothers, in the holy Qur'an there are numerous verses mentioning scientif ic miracles, for as long asscience is improving and discovering new things, you shall discover new signs of the greatness of AllahAlmighty. This is w hy the method of the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is his same miracle.

﴾Those who reject our Signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire: as often as their skins are roastedthrough, We shall change them for fresh skins﴿


In a very recent scientif ic research study speaking about the nature of pains in the nerves, they havediscovered that nerves are f latly distributed through human skin. For example, if you stick a needle at any placethrough your w hole body you shall feel it for a short w hile, then it disappears, w hich means that your body iscovered w ith a full netw ork of nerves, of very delicate measurements that can extend up to 0.01 of themillimeter. This w ide-covering netw ork of nerves is responsible for tasting the penalty. It’s the one that tastesthe pain of burning, and w hen the skin itself is burnt, then by default these nervous receptors shall burn asw ell, thus the tasting of pain shall end as a result. Well, the miraculous verse states this fact, informing that theskin shall be replaced w ith a new one, so that the suffering can continue.

﴾As their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins﴿


The Quran is a continuous miracle:

How ever, imagine you have poured hot boiling w ater into someone's bow els. He shall feel nothing, for thereare no nerve cells in the bow els; how ever, it can feel pressure, and that's w hy Allah Almighty said:

﴾And be given, to drink, boiling water﴿

[Muhammad: Verse 15 ]

Where He Almighty didn't say: "that has burnt them" (this boiling w ater)How ever He Almighty said:

﴾So that it cuts up their bowels (to pieces)?﴿

[Muhammad: Verse 15 ]

Bow els are cut to pieces, and w hat hurts in bow els is the cutting process. That's w hy sometimes a littledisturbance in someone's intestines can lead to unbearable pain, not the burning pain, but the cutting pain in thiscase.

Another Verse:

﴾Their eyes streaming w ith tears﴿

[Attawbah: Verse – 92]

Tears that run in the eye get drained through tw o drain-spots located at the bottom of the eyeball. Thereforethe moisture w e feel from our noses comes through our tears. So, in certain cases w here there are excesstears in the eye, w here it exceeds the limits of the drainage capacity, tears start to stream out from the eyetow ards the outside, and this is a scientif ic proof of the miracle in the Qur'an.

So, w e are standing in front of a book of a method, and a book of miracles, w here the method and themiracles w ere combined together for the Prophet Muhammed, peace be upon him. The previous miracles for theprevious prophets w ere merely of a physical manner, and that's w hy they ended once its nations vanished,and ended up as new s to be heard. And, since the Prophet Muhammed, peace be upon him, w as sent to all thenations of this w orld, it needed to have a continuous miracle, and that is the Holy Qur'an.

Allah Almighty says this:

﴾Soon will We show them our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls,until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth.﴿

[Fussilat: Verse 53]

Allah’s approach controls man’s desires:

﴾…that they may taste the penalty: for Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.﴿


The meaning of "Exalted in Pow er" is the One w ho is needed severely by his servants, and Exalted inPow er means the One Who can not be defeated, and the One Who disappoints not creatures w ho seek hopethrough Him. Thus, Allah Almighty is Exalted in Pow er, Wise.

There are tw o teams: the f irst one has chosen to disbelieve, and belied the signs of Allah Almighty, andnever got to know Allah Almighty neither through His universal signs, nor His readable signs. They haverejected the Method of Allah as a result, and thus they have started to move in life w ithout method. Theirmovement in life in this w ay has resulted in their abuse.

A nice explanation for that w ould be w hen considering someone w ho has chosen to disbelieve w ithouthurting anyone. This sort of scenario is a problem itself, since he cannot disbelieve w ithout hurting anyone, fordisbelieving means to not follow Allah's method that controls your lusts. So, w ithout follow ing it, your lusts shallbe set loose, and abuse shall never stop. Therefore, it’s absolutely impossible to ignore Allah's method and thenattempt to straighten yourself and manners.

So consider a man w ho is very smart. He is so smart that he convinced people around him that he isperfect, w hile in reality he is the exact opposite. Now imagine if Allah Almighty has examined this person byhitting his ow n interests. What w ould you think his reaction w ould be? He shall turn into a monster and actually,you see this sort of behavior every day. We all know this pow erful, rich country that everyone has dreamt ofreaching. People have dreamt of reaching this astonishing country that dazzled the human race w ith its liberty,justice, democracy, human rights, animal rights, f ilthy richness, and its beautiful nature. This country haspretended to be perfect; they have spoken a lot about human rights, human liberty, and people's right of havingtrials. They spoke and spoke a lot, and w hen they w ere hit through a murder of their ow n people, they turned

into monsters. And that's the lesson w e need to learn: no perfection w ithout faith, and no faith w ithoutperfection.

Allah Almighty says:

﴾For Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise﴿


Visual things are limited, imagination is unlimited:

And, Allah Almighty has said about the second team:

﴾But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, We shall soon admit to Gardens, w ithrivers flowing beneath,- their eternal home: Therein shall they have companions pure and holy:

We shall admit them to shades, cool and ever deepening.﴿

[ Al Nisaa'a: Verse 56]

Not only one Garden, but Gardens… Man in this low er life lives in deep w orry. He might be healthy, but it is impossible for this good health to go

on forever. There must come a day in a man's life w here he discovers something new in his body that neverexisted before. This might be the sign of the approach of his death, so there is a deep w orry in a man's life. Thisw orry is simply because this low er life never lasts for anyone - it is never stable, it's alw ays changeable, but inHeaven that’s not the case. The Prophet, peace be upon him, says in the Hadeeth speaking the w ords of hisLord:

﴾I've prepared for my good servants in heaven, what never an eye has ever seen, an ear has everheard, or even came across a human's heart﴿

[agreed upon, narrated by Abu Huraira]

The Circle of the seen objects is limited. For example, I have travelled to Australia, Malaysia, America, Britain,Morocco, and Egypt, and this is w hat I've seen w ith my ow n eyes. This is a very limited list, but w hen it comesto the circle of the hearing, it can be a lot w ider. For example, I have heard about Moscow , or about a city inAfrica. Therefore, the circle of your seen objects can be very limited w hilst the circle of your heard new s canbe much richer than it. But the circle of thoughts and w hat comes across your heart is endless. Anything thatcomes across your mind can be listed in that circle. Imagine anything; for example, imagine a pen that has alength of 1000 Kilometers !!! That could be a thought.

﴾I've prepared for my good servants in heaven, what never an eye has ever seen, an ear has everheard, or even came across a human's heart﴿

[agreed upon, narrated by Abu Huraira]

We need deeds based on faith:

This Garden, that has the w idth of both heavens and earth, that one shall be in forever, and shall never beasked to leave, has w ithin it everything the souls can desire and all that the eyes can delight in. It has w ithin itno sickness, no w orry, no fear, no constrictions, no bad w ife, no disobeying son, no severe illness, nothreatening enemy, no envying hypocrite, no seduced soul, and no w hispering Satan. Remember, it has w ithin it

everything the souls can desire…Dear Brothers that's w hy the sanest person is the one w ho seeks thisGarden that has the w idth of both heavens and earth. This is indeed the sane person. That's w hy the Prophet,peace be upon him, is amazed at those w ho know that heavens' gardens are true, and hell f ire is true, thennever w ork to enter these heavens, and protect themselves from that hell f ire.

Therefore, it has been said before: "Work for your lord as much as you need him", and you know that youneed him in everything; "And protect yourself f rom the hell f ire by the amount of patience you can bear"; "Andw ork to enter heavens for as long you shall stay in them"; "And w ork for this low er life for as much time as youshall stay in it".

Usually a person reaches his stability betw een the ages of thirty and forty. Then his life attributes startgrow ing slow ly and slow ly, till he reaches the peak of obtained experiences in his life, and reaches themaximum income he can ever gain. His life is stable. He has his ow n connections' netw ork, and then suddenlythe angel of death surprises him at the most critical time!! This is life; w hat he has collected through his w holelong years has vanished in one second. All his properties are attached to the pulses in his heart, all his hugew ealth is attached to the blood f low in his veins, all his interests are related to the grow th of cells in his body, allhis prestige is connected to his health status, to the diameter of his artery. Death is so close to him, that indeed,this man w ho w orks for this low er life, is taking a huge gambling risk… So dear brothers, these tw o verses:

﴾Those who reject our Signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire: as often as their skins are roastedthrough, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty: for Allah is Exalted

in Power, Wise. (56)But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness….﴿


The sentence "believe and do the deeds of righteousness", is repeated numerously in the Holy Qur'an, forbelieving is completely w orthless w ithout good deeds, and good deeds w ithout believing is w orthless as w ell.Thus, there has to be good deeds based on believing.

Everything in Heaven is absolutely perfect:

﴾But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, We shall soon admit to Gardens, w ithrivers flowing beneath…﴿


Of course these Gardens, have w ithin in them, w hat never an eye has ever seen. After all, the descriptionsof these gardens are merely approximations to its true nature. For example, the Heavens' Gardens have riversin them, but these rivers hold incorruptible sparkling w ater, so palatable and so sw eet. They have rivers of milkof w hich the taste never changes, and rivers of w ine w hich are a joy to those w ho drink from it. Thismeans that in these Gardens it's the w hole meaning of perfection in life - eternal youth, permanent life, w hile inthis life the fear of the ghost of death is beheading the bodies.

If you're afraid of poverty then you are living the poverty, if you are afraid of sickness, then you are livingthe sickness, if you are expecting a disaster, then your expectation itself is a greater disaster, w hile in thehereafter Gardens it’s the complete opposite, w here the inhabitants are never asked to leave:

﴾And We shall join them to Companions, w ith beautiful big and lustrous eyes.﴿

[Al –Tur: Verse 20]

﴾The Fruits whereof (w ill hang in bunches) low and near.﴿

[Al Haaqqa: Verse 23]

﴾And when thou lookest, it is there thou w ilt see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent.﴿

[Al-Insan: Verse 20]

This is Heaven… Dear Brothers, it is so unfortunate that the concepts of Heaven's Gardens and Hellf ire are out of people's

standards. What you f ind in their standards are: the currency exchange rates, how to seize lusts' opportunities,their disputes w ith people, or their indulgence in lusts, but the last thing that they ever consider is the shockingdeath. It's completely out of their formulas. That's w hy Allah Almighty says:

﴾So leave them to babble and play (w ith vanities) until they meet that Day of theirs, which theyhave been promised.﴿

[Al – Zukhruf: Verse 83]

Death comes suddenly and the grave is the box of deeds:

This is the day that w e've all been promised to meet. It must come. In a glimpse of an eye, Allah changes asituation to a completely different one. Remember those around you from your relatives w ho have died? Eachone of them had his ow n house, his family, his w ife... he used to visit you, look at you, greet you, smile at you,laugh, earn money, spend it, sleep, and eat, but in one single second he is turned into an obituary new s hangingon the w alls. Every creature must die one day, and the Exalted in Pow er and Might and the Irresistible AllahAlmighty, shall abide forever.

For regardless how long the night is, the daw n shall eventually emerge, and regardless how long a man canlive, his entrance to the grave is a must.

So remember alw ays, that every human being, regardless of how healthy he is, shall reach a day w here heis carried dead on shoulders. So, w hen you're w alking in a funeral carrying a dead man, remember that nexttime it is you w ho shall be carried on shoulders.

One of my brothers w ho prays in one of the mosques of Damascus, told me the story of one of the menw ho used to pray w ith him and had a nice sense of humor, and alw ays used to tell them jokes w henever theyw ere leaving out of the mosque at daw n. One day, this man f inished praying the morning prayer in a verynormal condition, at the Duhur (Noon) prayer he w as seen in one of the parking lots, and at the Asr (afternoon)prayer this person w as dead, and the one telling the story w as praying the funeral prayer to this man... he diedsuddenly, and he w as buried under the ground.

Another respectable brother of ours w as eating a sandw ich one day, and w hile eating it, he suddenly died,just like that. He w as eating at noon, and buried in the afternoon. That's it, it's over, a closed f ile.

For death comes quickly, and does not recognize an old person from a child, a healthy man from a sick man,a resident from a traveler. Death could simply reach anyone at the most critical time.

﴾But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, We shall soon admit to Gardens, w ithrivers flowing beneath,- their eternal home: Therein shall they have companions pure and holy﴿


There are w ives in this life that are very troubling, but in the hereafter Allah Almighty says:

﴾Therein shall they have companions pure and holy: We shall admit them to shades, cool and everdeepening. ﴿
