THE OBJECT OF THE BOOK QURAN IS TO

ATTAIN WISDOM
OBJECTIVE OF THE BOOK QURAN IS TO ATTAIN WISDOM:

When any reader chose to read any book of facts he is well aware about the subject he has chosen to
read. The main purpose of the reader is to know the fact from the book as he is not reading a book of
fiction. Ironically, most of the Muslims all around the globe read this wonderful book "Quran" quiet
frequently, still they couldn't grasp the facts from the book.

If people don't understand the object and subject of the book Quran how can they claim to know the book.
Is it sufficient to know the language to understand the subject? Some say that, its a book of History of
messengers and their people who belong to the region of Middle East.

Some believe, its a book of predictions, miracles, science, glorification and some also believe its a book
of forming the just and fair government. Most learned people interpret a single book in different ways
only to justify their own preconceived ideas, despite of knowing the language very well.

The objective of the book Quran is to attained wisdom (2:129) (36:2) (43:4). When the objective of the
book is not attained we cannot confidently say, its a book of wisdom. In such cases either the authors
claim is wrong or the ability of the reader to understand the book is doubtful.

Is in depth knowledge of Arabic good enough to understand "Quran"? Suppose I have good knowledge of
English; will I understand the subject of Physics explained in English? No, since knowing or having good
command over any language does not make us capable of knowing any particular subject. It can only
help us in reading but not for understanding. We need to be expert in that particular subject rather than
the language to know its true concept.

We never bother to know why Quran says Ar-Rehman would teach you Quran. Why "Quran" emphasis on
Ar-Rehman as a teacher of Quran (55:1-4) and not some expert Arabic teacher or any Islamic
scholar? Why importance is given only to Rehman and why not to Allah or Rabb? What is the
significance of Arabic or the Quran and why is it given so much importance in ones life? We will ignore
all these valid questions and continue to ignore it again and again, as some of us believe ignorance is
bliss Peace.

Deciphering Al-Akhirah:
Deciphering Al-Akhirah:
One of the primary beliefs of Islam is the belief in the Hereafter, resurrection, the
Paradise and the Hell. Whatever little we know about it; its based on assumptions
derived from outside the 114 chapter book called Quran, the valid document of all
Muslims. It is invariably the only valid document for all Muslims although
unfortunately little effort have been made to check and verify the beliefs by the
"believers" within the sphere of this wonderful book. There are so many books written in
detail about the subject of Akhirah as its a topic of interest among the religious scholars
to entrap the gullible followers. Same time it is a hot topic for so called free thinkers to
ridicule the religious class for their vulnerability to protect themselves.
The concept of Al-Akhirah has been wrongly portrayed or mishandled by the traditional
religious scholars that defies logic to the rational thinker. This in return gives cannon
fodder to freethinkers to attack the nincompoop religious people. All theories including
scientific or non scientific are initially based on realization supported by strong
imagination. Al-Akhirah is one of those subject which requires deep observation and
imagination. It is time for the free thinkers or the scientific community to introspect on
this subject. Even the cursory study of consciousness and evolution of mankind would
reveal that Quranic prescription were not subjected to process of logical study. All
interpretation and exegesis where done by ordinary corporeal mind but "Muslims
scholars" assume or portray it as if that the interpretation and even the exegesis are
divine. Leaving no scope for anyone to meddle in it.

So Al-Akhirah became non scientific or irrational subject that has become the monopoly
of religious scholars only, which totally relies upon their whims and fancies and leaves
the non thinking class entirely at their mercy. The traditionalists have abused this word
in order to scare and blackmail the general masses into total submission. Due to these
illogical and irrational explanations given by the religious scholars even the intellectuals
among the masses feel embarrassed to scrutinize this important word. So justifying,
defending or making sense of this vulnerable subject does not arise, as it is accepted as
a comically grisly scene among the intellectuals. The scientific community does not
even prepare to think about this term Al-Akhira, so the onus to explain this word falls in
the kitty of unscrupulous traditional scholars.

I have briefly tried to explain the word Al-Akhirah and some important terms that are
linked with it. I know this article of mine could bring some flak for me from many
quarters but my conviction is purely based on my understanding of verses from the
book Quran.

The traditionalists Muslim scholars wrongly interpret the word Al-

Akhirah asHereafter. The most spooky word of the Muslim terminology
is Akhirah, which is generally perceived as a big event that occurs after death and at
the time ofAl-Qiyamah; another misconstrued word. Originally the so called Hereafter
or life after death in Heaven or Hell was a Biblical concept. This word brings to the mind
the scenario of a personified God, taking accounts of good and bad deeds in the Court
of Justice. In fact the Quranic concept of Akhirah is a continuous uninterrupted
process where each moment is an Akhir / Takhir (pending the result) of the awal (first)
moment or action.

Akhirah does not mean last or end or after death as generally perceived by the
Muslims. It is a continuous process of consequences which are attached with our
smallest love or temptations of the life that we call it as Duniya in Arabic. Our
Akhirah (long term gains) depends upon our deep love towards attaining our short
term cravings or urges or lowly desires which is also termed asDuniya in Arabic.

Loving Duniya intensely, is tantamount to neglecting Daarul Akhirah that is the long
term consequences or cycle of consequences. The Quran recommends to not follow
extreme paths but to adopt a middle path (2:143) (2:238) (2:195) (28:77) (5:77) (6:153).
Al-Akhirah is a feminine noun ending with feminine marker known as Taa marbootah;
which indicates that it is some kind of process or mechanism. From the classical
lexicons the essence of this word Akhirah can be deduce from the
following meanings - to go back, recede, retrograde, retreat, delay, postpone, hold
back, stuck-up, kept back, remain behind, late, lastly, latterly, ultimate, at last,
end another thing or person other than the former or the first, those who are
late Please check 75:13 for more clarity on the word Akhir

It is emphasized throughout the Quran that we have to trust or have faith

inAllah (System), unseen (Al-Gayab) and Akhirah. Only those who are diligent
observer ( )will trust in unseen and the process of Al-Akhirah. Al-Akhirah is a slow
lackadaisical journey towards our Rabb the true Owner. Actually it is the slow and
steady journey of patience and wisdom, somewhat similar to the day of Al-
Qiyamah, which means a moment of self realization or awakening. The journey or
the path is not outside us, everything is inside. Akhirah is a continuous cycle which
depends upon our each and every deed. It is not a separate day or a moment but it is
closely attached with our journey of life. It is a tedious hold-up mechanism where one is
delayed for the moment of mutual meeting (( ) 40:1) with Allah our Rabb who is
within (50:16).

One who denies or is ignorant with this truth gets stuck up in the life of this world, playing different roles
other than his own for which he was evolved. In the process he forgets his own soul and the day of the
meeting with the Rabb (6:31). And they will be witness against themselves "Did not there come to you
Messengers from among you, reciting unto you My Verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of
yours?" They will say: "We bear witness against ourselves." It was the life of this world that deceived
them. And they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers (6:130). One of the
purposes of life is to recognize our role and and serve it well for those who hope to meet their invisible
Master (10:7).

The job of every messenger is just to convey this important message to find our true self by shunning
away all artificiality or vanity and become pure (8:8) (29:52). The Quran says: And none deny it except
every sinful transgressor. When Our verses are dawn upon him, he says, compositions of the former
peoples. No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning. Nay ! Surely,
they (transgressors) will be veiled from seeing their Lord that Day (83:12-15) Transgressors will not be
able to find their Rabb as their will be a barrier between them because of their transgressive deeds which
covered their intellect ().

For better understanding of the overall concept of the word Akhirah we need to study
and understand few more Quranic words which are crucial in the process of
understanding the complete concept of Akhirah, those words are Duniya, Awal, Darul,
Azaab, Eid, Maut, Nashat, Al-Qiyamah, Al-Talaq and Ajilah

WHAT IS AL-AKHIRAH IS BRIEFLY EXPLAINED IN THE VERSE BELOW:

11:103-107 Indeed in that is a sign for those who fear the punishment of
the Hereafter. That is a Day for which the people will be collected, and that is a
Day [which will be] witnessed. And We do not delay it except for alimited
term. The Day it comes no soul will speak except by His permission. And among
them will be the wretched and the prosperous. As for those who were [destined to
be] wretched, they will be in the Fire. For them therein is [violent] exhaling and
inhaling. [They will be] abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth
endure, except what your Lord should will. Indeed, your Lord is a Doer of what He
intends. Traditional translation

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF 11:103-107:

According to the above verse Akhirah is that process of fateful circumstances of life
when the person would himself be a witness and experience the consequence of all his
actions. Al- Akhirah does not necessarily mean after death. Al Akhirah is also
called Yamu Mashuda (moment of witnessing) by the Quran; now the question
arises how we are going to witness the result of our actions if we are dead after
committing all the wrongful actions - This is why the book Quran give more emphasizes
on the zikr ( to recollect, introspect, remember, call to mind). So that we can able to
witness and remember the cause of our present plight or condition of life and reflect
upon it. That's why Quran says ZIKR is more important than Salat, in fact the purpose of
salat is zikr and Allah also knows what you fabricate (
) in the name of
Zikr (29:45) (2:238- 239).
 The word Mashud means something which is experienced or practically seen with and

observation of facts or events by the concerned person. The word Mashud is indefinite passive participle,
the form I passive participle is of the pattern . Example for
we get meaning written-

- Yamu-mashud is an indefinite event, which means it can happen anytime, anywhere it also

signifies that it is not a specific event and the time is also not definite. This moment is when all the
agitation of the mind ( ) will be conciliated or reconciled( ) Yamu majmua means when the
cluttered mind or scattered thoughts ( ) will be brought or reconciled together. It will be the moment or
the day of experiencing by the person himself and which is certainly going to come again and again. The
moment is called = A day or moment which will come again and again.

is a 3rd person masculine singular imperfect verb, jussive this word

is an imperfect verb (
)and is used with actions that are still in progress or with repeated actions, e.g. Things that you do
every day or you usually do. is a moment which can come again and again. Literally it means the
day which is going to come again and again.

Now some rationale thinking based in accordance with logic and reason. Why the above verse (11:103-
107) and verse (7:187) talks about that heaven and earth? Why and what do these celestial bodies have
to do with enduring our burden? What Heavens and Earth have to do with Azaabal-Akhirah of a person ?

This means we are missing something very important, this traditional meaning of
does not
fit into the above context.

We also need to understand the evolution of mankind before we indulge in evaluating

the concept of Akhirah, commonly perceived as end of the planet earth or human race.
Before the evolution of symbolic Adam the Quran discusses the subject of Al-Ardh 5
times. Readers should ponder on what is so special about Al-Ardh that it has been
mentioned 5 times before the evolution of Adam, that too in the very beginning of
the Quran Between the verse 2:11- 30. Al-Ardh is commonly translated as Earth by
the interpreters and As-Samawat as Heaven or sky. In total the Al-Ardh, As-Samawat
and their derivatives occurred 770 times in the entire Quran. Please Think what is so
important about these physical astronomical bodies? Quran is not concerned about
celestial bodies or personal God but it talks about the Universality of Consciousness.

Those who have read my other articles very well know the interpretation of Al-
Ardh and As-Samawat which I have deduced after a long deliberation. In short they
mean Lower consciousness and Higher consciousness and this meaning
consistently fits into all the context of Quran. When we replace the meaning of Al-Ardh
and samavat with lower and higher consciousness, it makes absolute sense and
justifies that why they have to bear or endure the burden of our deeds. The planet earth
or heaven does not make any sense yet we are forced into believing this. Higher and
lower consciousnesses are the part of us and they do not die even if all our physical
organs expire. What do earth and heaven have to do with an individuals deeds or the
evolution of Adam?

THE FOLLOWING WORDS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE EQUIVALENT FOR THE WORD AL-AKHIRAH

More than 15 words are used for describing the term Akhirah, If I go on to explain the details of each one
of them then it would be too voluminous. For those who are interested in dwelling upon the detailed study
of the following terms to know the right concept of Akhirah: Here are a few

WHAT IS AZAAB ? WHY IT IS ALWAYS LINKED WITH ?

The Arabic word Azaab means something which is willingly accepted or agreed upon by the
concerned person e.g. - A person consuming alcohol willingly agrees or happily accepts the condition of
after effects of alcohol, rather he enjoys the after effects and feels comfortable in it. The punishment or
chastisement or humiliation that occurs with our consent is called Azaab in Arabic. When we enjoy any
circle and feel happy and content in it without realizing that actually we are entrapped in it, such a
situation or condition is recognized as Azaab in Arabic. Azaab is always according to taste - zaikah(
), thats why Quran often link azaab with zaikah (tasting of punishment) (3:106) (3:181) (4:56) (6:30)
(7:39) (8:35) (8:50) and so on It is only the nafs which has to taste death and the punishment
(21:35). And the punishment is based on our Deeds / Amal - (29:55) (32:14). The punishment of
Akhirah (long term) will be more severe than the present moment (39:26) (41:16).

We cannot develop or grow in such entrapments unless we leave the circle of attachments which is
pulling down our growth. In psychological terminology it is called Stockholm syndrome (loving your
prison). It is very important for every one of us to analyze our respective conditions and think that we all
are the victims or are suffering unknowingly from this condition called Azaab. Please be strong enough to
come out of your respective comfort zones. Actually Azaab is the delusional sweetness of life which we
prefer to spend all our life without realizing its hollowness. Something which is sweet or digestible is also
please refer 35:12 for knowing the exact essence of the word
called Recognize your Azaab
and come out of it, before it is too late (Akhir) - The book Quran is for the living(present) and it
does not talk about death. In Quranic sense death is just a taste, an experience or a
feeling or realization where only the body dies while the self or nafs taste the demise of
the body (3:185) (21:35) (29:57). The senses about which Quran talks never dies, it
continuously comes and goes like day and night. The specialty in the event of Azaab is
that the person who is going through it does not realize that he is going through the
process of Azaab and Akhirah but the one who is knowledgeable will realize it,
so Beware!

DIFFERENT TYPES OF AZAAB MENTIONED IN THE QURAN:

(1) 7:179 People who dont use their senses, or entrapped in the labyrinth

(2) 2:7 Azaab of self glorification, pride

(3) 2:10 -
Going through grief, sorrow, pain

(4) 6:93
( 2:90)
Going through despicable, humiliating and shameful
condition

(5) 3:103 (2:257 (2:174) fire of enmity due to lack of enlightenment.

(6) 3:4)
those who reject signs, for them is severest punishment

(7) (3:181)
Hareeq means anger, rage, evil and burning painful nature

(8) (5:37) punishment of endurance

(9) 10:52
) Permanent in Azaab

(10) 11:93
( 10:98) ) penalty of ignominy

(11) 11:58) punishment of hard and an uncivilized life

(12) 11:64 ) Punishment for attachments and closeness

(13) (9:101) (11:76) - Fear of rejection

(14) (11:84) - Those who continuously take care of their image

(15) 11:103
) Punishment of laziness or stuck up in one place

(16) 17:57 ) Punishment of fear and apprehensions

(17) 19:45 ) Dependable on others is a punishment from Rehman

(18) 22:4 ) Punishment of passion, excitement

(19) 22:55 Barrenness in relations, no humbleness

(20) 34:5 Continuous talking without making much sense, agitation, commotion in

mind

(21) 37:9
Perpetual or continual, constant without change

(22) 40:7
Fire of desire, passion which burns vehemently

(23) 52:7 Going through expectations

(24) 54:38 Those who remain fixed, settled, content

(25) 70:11 Punishment through children, possessions

(26) 32:21
Smaller or nearer punishment

(27) 32:21
Greater punishment

SOME EXAMPLES OF AZAAB IN OUR DAILY LIVES:

Happily borrowing loans from the bank and repaying it all your life becomes an azaab

Sometimes attachments with things or persons becomes an Azaab or punishment

Sometimes our beliefs of dos and donts becomes an Azaab

Our addictions becomes an Azaab

Our life style becomes an Azaab

In short according to Quran anything which pulls you down from meeting your Rabb is an Azaab on your
nafs. Rabb does not like any hindrances or distractions in the way towards His Meeting. Quran is all
about the journey of self towards the Meeting with our Consciousness.

TYPES OF CIRCLES ( )OR ZONES MENTIONED IN THE QURAN :

Those before them did (also) devise plots; but in all things the master-planning is Allah's He knoweth the
doings of every soul: and soon will the Unbelievers know for whom is the cycle of consequences (13:42)

It is very important to know the essence of DAR , for that we should study the etymology of
the word. The root word of is - The basic meaning of which is to move in circle, return to the place
from where he or it began or move, he went round in circle, within the circuit, encircled, surrounded or
encompass, circulation, revolve, Daura, daayra, idara are some of its derivatives.
is to remain or
stuck up in the circuit or cycle long enough or make it a permanent home. Its a process of slow evolution
or not evolving at all. When one level, zone, or circle is completed the person moves to another level,
zone, or circle of consciousness or in simple terms a new level of awareness. The process of evolution
can be in both directions, either it stimulates towards promotion or could be towards demotion.

(1) One who is not in hurry to meet his Rabb and thinks that present condition is his

permanent home

(2) Those who evolve around in Circle of peace and safety

(3) Circle of righteousness, diligence

(4) Circle of lawlessness or without a system

(5) Circle of contentment, cool attitude

(6) - Abominable circle, that is of disgust and evil

(7) Association which leads to destruction or extinction

(8) - Facing of consequences one after other

(9) Circle of stillness, homeliness, comfort

(10) Always absorbed in thoughts about self

The Quran describe these phenomena as everything swims or floats along the orbit or what goes round
comes around. That means the consequences of one's actions will have to be dealt with eventually and
gradually. The final destination is that we have to return from where we started from.

WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO TRUST IN ALLAH AND AKHIRAH?

Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in Salat, and spend out of what We have
provided for them; And who believe in the Revelation sent to thee, and sent
before thy time, and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter They are
on (true) guidance, from their Rabb, and it is these who will prosper. (2:3-5)
Traditional translation

They are not [all] the same; among the People of the Scripture is a community
standing, reciting the verses of Allah during periods of the night and prostrating.
They believe in Allah and the Last Day, and they enjoin what is right and forbid
what is wrong and hasten to good deeds. And those are among the righteous
- (3:113-114) - Traditional translation

But those among them who are well-grounded in knowledge, and the believers,
believe in what hath been revealed to thee and what was revealed before thee:
And (especially) those who establish regular Salat and practice regular Zakah
and believe in Allah and in the Last Day: To them shall We soon give a great
reward (4:162) - Traditional translation

Say: "To whom belonged all that is in the heavens and on earth?" Say: "To Allah.
He hath inscribed for Himself (the rule of) Mercy. That He will gather you together
for the Day of Judgment, there is no doubt whatever. It is they who have lost their
own souls that will not believe (6:12) - Traditionaltranslation

Ultimately every one of us has to pass through the process of Al-Akhirah and most of
the time it happens unknowingly. There is no big announcement about the period of
Aakhirah, it is just a realization of our state. The quicker we realize it is better for us.
Before taking any journey we should know the exact destination and purpose of our
expedition otherwise it would be a superficial wandering without any aim and result. A
farmer has to trust the system of Nature before the fruits are yielded. He has to plough
the field before sowing the seeds and nurturing them. He is not aware about the
ultimate result; he has no option but to keep faith in the system (Allah). He cannot make
haste to extract goods and obtain quick results; he has to exercise patience and be
focused on his job. This is what trusting in Allah and Akhirah means.

Now why should we keep trust in Aakhirah ? In the Quranic context the Akhirah is a
slow lingering process of evolution. It is a very long term cycle which very few realize.
So it is advised by the Quran to keep trust in righteous deeds and be patient by
defeating all the negative forces as this is the struggle which everyone has to face in
order to reach the ultimate goal of aligning with their own consciousness (5:48). Aligning
oneself with the consciousness is a process which needs patience and cannot be
attained in haste (2:45, 153) (3:200). Haste (Ajilah) being the opposite of Akhirah
(delay) (17:11). It needs complete faith or trust in the principle of Akhirah. We should
understand that keeping faith in the circle of Akhirah is for our own good. Assuming that
we can get out of the present circle quickly or in haste and move to the next circle or
level, is not the way in which the system works. Unless we recognize our role and
seriously heed the signs of inherent messengers we wont be able to rise to the next
level.

AL-AJILAH ( )ISTHE OPPOSITE OF AL-AKHIRAH (

) :

Whoever desires the quick-passing / ( transitory enjoyment of this world), We

readily grant him what We will for whom We like. Then, afterwards, We have
appointed for him Hell; he will burn therein disgraced and rejected (17:18)

"And thus We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an and have diversified therein
the warnings that perhaps they will avoid [sin] or it would cause them
remembrance. So high [above all] is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth. And, do
not hasten with [recitation of] the Qur'an before its revelation is completed to you,
and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge (20: 113-114) - Traditional translation

And man supplicates for evil as he supplicates for good, and man is
everhasty (17:11)

Man was created of haste. I will show you My signs, so do not impatiently urge
Me (21:37)

Move not your tongue with it to HASTEN (ajal) it,

Then again, surely upon Us is to explain it,
Nay, but you love the IMMEDIATE (Al-ajilah),
And you leave the HEREAFTER (Al-akhirah) - (75:16-21) - Traditional translation

If Allah were to hasten for men the ill (they have earned) as they would
fain hasten on the good,- then would their respite be settled at once. But We leave
those who rest not their hope on their meeting with Us, in their trespasses,
wandering in distraction to and fro (10:11)

So finally the verse 75:16-21 confirms that Al-Ajilah is the opposite of Al-Akhirah a
long term process. Hastiness is not good for the process of Akhirah.

DUNIYA IS JUST A BRIEF ENJOYMENT AND DELUSION:

(29:64 )

What is the life of this world but amusement and play? But verily the Home in
the Hereafter, - that is life indeed, if they but knew (29:64) Traditional translation

"O my people! The life of the this world is nothing but (temporary) convenience: It
is the Hereafter that is the Home that will last (40:39) Traditional translation

And who believe in what has been revealed to you, and what was revealed before
you, and of the Hereafter they are certain (2:4) Traditional translation




Those who love the life of this world more than the Hereafter, who hinders (men),
from the Path of Allah and seek therein something crooked: they are astray by a
long distance (14:3) - Traditional translation

Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on
the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to
Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is thelife of this world except
the enjoyment of delusion (3:185)

Short is the enjoyment of this world. The Hereafter is (far) better for him who
fears Allah (4:77)

But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world as compared to

theHereafter (9:38) - Traditional translation

the life of this world as compared with the Hereafter is but a brief
passing enjoyment (13:26)

As to those who believe not in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds pleasing
in their eyes; and so they wander about in distraction (27:4)

Know that the life of this world is only play and amusement, pomp and mutual
boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children. (It is) as the
likeness of vegetation after rain, thereof the growth is pleasing to the tiller;
afterwards it dries up and you see it turning yellow; then it becomes straw. But
in the Hereafter (there is) a severe torment (for the disbelievers - evil-doers), and
(there is) Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the believers -
good-doers). And the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment
- (57:20) - Traditional translation

And this worldly life is not but diversion and amusement. And indeed, the home
of the Hereafter - that is the [eternal] life, if only they knew (29:64)

The root word of Duniya is The basic meaning of that something which seems to be near,
approachable or which can be related to unworthy or low things. Any desirable things which shackle us or
any closely related thing, place, circle or persons to which we are addicted are also called as duniya.
Many of us seem to spend an incredible amount of time and energy in fulfilling our
dreams without paying attention to the ethical principles of work and life. For fulfilling the
dreams or acquiring quick and short cuts in worldly comforts, very often the person
stoops down too low. This low tempting thoughts for acquiring name, fame, wealth and
power is termed as Duniya in Arabic. Such types of thoughts are not strong enough for
steady gain according to Quran but an irresistible illusion. Focus should be on eternal
or actual cycle of life but very few trust this as they are unaware. People assume Duniya
to be real and ultimate but according to the Arabic lexicon and Quran too, its a virtual
world. According to the Arabic Lexicon it is desirable and that is why people are tempted
towards it and crazily fall for it. In this fast paced life every one aspires for quick results
which according to Quran are not the way in which life moves. If we observe the
movement of life, everything has stages which one has to cross. We cannot evade or
skip these stages and jump to the next stage. Every one of us has to keep faith in the
working of the system and follow its rule in order to be in the state of circle of peace and
safety.

****************************************************************

MEETING WITH THE RABB:

Those who rest not their hope on their meeting with Us, but are pleased and
satisfied with the life of the present world, and those who heed not Our
Signs (10:7) - Traditional translation

If Allah were to hasten for men the ill (they have earned) as they would eagerly
hasten on the good,- then would their respite be settled at once. But We leave
those who rest not their hope on their meeting with Us, in their trespasses,
wandering in distraction to and fro (10:11) - Traditional translation

Then He proportioned him and breathed into him from His Spirit and made for
you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful. And they say: "What!
when we lie, hidden and lost, in the lower consciousness, shall we indeed be in a
Creation renewed? Nay, they deny the Meeting with their Rabb - 32:9-10

This is easy for those who bear in mind with certainty that they are tomeet their
Rabb, and that they are to return to Him (2:46) - Traditional translation

One of the purposes of creation is that we have to keep in mind that finally we have to
meet our Rabb. Those who have forgotten this purpose will be permanently stuck up in
the enchantment of this world. For them the ultimate moment of meeting with their Rabb
is delayed. Only those who are conscious of meeting their Rabb and trust in the unseen,
they are the ones who connect with their Rabb through salat (29:45), for them is
supreme success- (2:1-5) - Rivalry in (worldly activities) increase distracts you (from
the remembrance of the meeting with Rabb), till you come to the graves (102:1-2).

TO US IS THE RETURN OR FINAL GOAL AND DESTINATION:

O mankind ! Your rebellion is only against your own selves, -
abrief enjoyment of this worldly life, then (in the end) unto Us is your final
return, and We shall inform you of that which you used to do (10:23)

(A brief) enjoyment in this world ! - and then unto Us will be their final
return (10:70)

...We all belong to Him and to Him we shall final return. (2:156) -Traditional
translation

Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers:
if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of
precaution, that ye may Guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you (To
remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah (3:28) -Traditional translation





The Jews and the Christians say: "We are sons of Allah, and his beloved." Say:
"Why then doth He punish you for your sins? Nay, ye are but men,- of the men he
hath created: He forgives whom He pleases, and He punishes whom He pleases:
and to Allah belonged the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is
between: and unto Him is the final goal (of all)"-(5:18)

Yea, to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; and to Allah is
the final goal (of all) (24:42)

Nor can a bearer of burdens bear another's burdens if one heavily laden should
call another to (bear) his load. Not the least portion of it can be carried (by the
other). Even though he be nearly related. Thou canst but admonish such as fear
their Lord unseen and establish regular Prayer. And whoever purifies himself
does so for the benefit of his own soul; and the final goal (of all) is to Allah (35:18)

****************************************************************************

WORLDS ENJOYMENT IS A TEST AND TRAIL:

And strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to
various groups of them, the splendor of the life of this world, that We may
test them thereby. But the provision (good reward in the Hereafter) of your Lord is
better and more lasting (20:131)

And I know not, perhaps it may be a trial for you, and an enjoyment for a while
(21:111)

Do the people think that they will be left alone on saying we believe, and they
will not be tested? We did test those who have gone before them. Allah has to see
who are the truthful and who are the liars (29:2-3) -Traditional translation

LAWFUL ENJOYMENT IN THIS WORLD:

"But seek, with that (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on you, the home of the
Hereafter, and forget not your portion of lawful enjoyment in this world; and do
good as Allah has been good to you, and seek not mischief in the land. Verily,
Allah likes not the Mufsidun (those who commit great crimes and sins,
oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers, corrupters)." (28:77) - Traditional translation

"And ordain for us that which is good, in this World and in the Hereafter: for we
have turned unto Thee." He said: "With My punishment I visit whom I will; but My
mercy extended to all things. That (mercy) I shall ordain for those who do right,
and practice regular charity, and those who believe in Our signs;- (7:156)

AKHIRAH IS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS:

And thus do We requite him who transgresses beyond bounds, and believes not
in the Ayat of his Lord; and the torment of the Hereafter is far more severe and
more lasting. 20:127

"O my people! Truly, this life of the world is nothing but a (quick
passing)enjoyment, and verily, the Hereafter that is the home that will remain
forever." (40:39) - Traditional translation

So whatever you have been given is but (a passing) enjoyment for this worldly
life, but that which is with Allah is better and more lasting for those who believe
and put their trust in their Lord (concerning all of their affairs). (42:36)

Neither dying therein nor living, (87:13)

He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself (87:14)

And he recollects, identify, then follow his mind (87:15)

But you prefer the lowly worldly life, (87:16)

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring (87:17)

Indeed, this is in the foremost scriptures, (87:18) - Traditional translation

Akhirah is a slow steady process against the fast life of the world and keeping the trust
in that process is what is recommended by the Quran.

DEFINING AWAL WITH REFERENCE TO AKHIRAH:

And He is Allah: There is no god but He. To Him be praise, at the first and at
the last: for Him is the Command, and to Him shall ye (all) be brought back
- (28:70) - Traditional translation

Were We then weary with the first Creation, that they should be in confused doubt
about a new Creation? (50:15) - Traditional translation

But it is to Him belong the End and the Beginning (53:25) - Traditional translation

So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first
(79:25) Traditional translation

And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present (93:4) -Traditional

UNDERSTANDING THE ESSENCE OF NASHAT

WITH REFERENCE TO THE
WORD AKHIR:

The exact essence of word Nashat (

) means process of upbringing, raising, growing
up, to live

That He had promised another Upbringing (53:47) - Think

Thy Rabb is self-sufficient, possessor of Mercy: if it were His desire, He

could discipline you, and make you continuously a contestant from whomever
after you He desires, just like as He raised you up from theseed of other
community 6:133 Try to understand the essence of this important verse

- Repeatedly or continuously an adversary or contestant - 3rd person masculine
singular (form X) imperfect verb, jussive





Say: "Travel through the earth and see how Allah did originate evolution;so will
Allah can delay the upbringing process; for Allah has power over all
things (29:20) Think & Ponder

Say: "It is He Who has made you grow, and placed for you the faculties of
hearing, seeing, feeling and understanding: little thanks it is ye give(67:23) (23:78)

Then We made them grow from, after associating them with others (23:31) (23:42).
Think, think please think.

UNDERSTANDING THE ESSENCE OF WORD QARN:

The word Qarn is an indefinite noun which does not mean generation. Its actual
meaning is connection, association, companion, comrade, coupled or conjoined with a
thing, competitor, opponent

(28:45) also refer (6:6) and (21:11) for understand the essence of
word Qarn..

BEWARE YOUR PRESENT SETUP WILL BE CHANGED:

Is it ye who create it, or are We the Creators? We have decreed Death to be your
common lot, and We are not to be frustrated. On that We will change
your setups and raise you (again) in (forms) that you know not. And you certainly
know already the first form of upbringing: why then do you not
contemplate? (56:59-62) Please think deeply, leaving your beliefs aside.

Thy Rabb is self-sufficient, possessor of Mercy: if it were His desire, He

could discipline you, and make you continuously a contestant from whomever
after you He desires, just like as He raised you up from theseed of other
community 6:133 Please try to understand the essence of this important verse

- Repeatedly or continuously an adversary or contestant - 3rd person masculine
singular (form X) imperfect verb, jussive

Were We then tired with the first Creation, that they should be in confused doubt
about a new Creation? (50:15)

It is important to define life and death. The origin of man is consciousness of thoughts through which
words (Kalimat) were created. Words are energies and energy cannot be destroyed, it can only be
transformed from one form to another form. To me death is actually the birth of the next stage of
evolution. Sperm dies and a fetus is born, fetus dies and a baby is born, a human being dies and then
what, who are born? Is it the end of the road? We cannot term transformation as death - Think

If water can change the forms (gas, liquid and solid) so why not humans? In Arabic Maut (dying) does
not mean end of the process but it means to return back after tasting. The root word of Maut is one
of the meanings of which is deprived of sensation, vegetable life, barren land, became deprived of the
intellectual faculty or intellectually dead. According to Quran Maut is just a taste (zaikah) which every
nafs has to experience; it is just like sleep, temporary deprived of senses. Maut does not mean
permanent end of life but a temporary pause. A Caterpillar becoming a butterfly is the best example of
transformation of one life form into another one, but remember not all caterpillar become butterfly. In
Quran it is mentioned that everybody has to taste death. When we taste or eat any food the fact is that
the food dies or transforms, similarly when we will taste death the death will die or transform not the one
who has tasted or consumed it THINK

AKHIRAH IS WITH THE RABB IS BETTER:

And whatever you have been given is an enjoyment of the life of (this) world and
its adornment, and that (Hereafter) which is with Allah is betterand will remain
forever. Have you then no sense? (28:60) - Traditional translation

And adornments of gold - Yet all this would have been nothing but
an enjoyment of this world. And the Hereafter with your Rabb is (only) for the
Muttaqun (43:35) - Traditional translation

Akhirah a long term policy based on our present action. Any action done with the eye on
the long term consequences is wise decision and is good for our consciousness.
Keeping trust in the process of Akhirah means having trust in patience and delayed
results. Anything in haste or expecting any easy earning like gambling is not good and it
is a handiwork of Satan (5:90).

THE JOURNEY OF NAFS IS OF TRAIL AND TESTING :

This earthly world is a place of test and trail for the soul and this development is the purpose and meaning
of human life. The system of consciousness created the Great Cosmos with the objectives of progress
and harmony, and these are the guidelines for the evolution of the human soul. Consciousness has
created the system between the Real world and the Reel World, so that we can cultivate infinite
experiences and walk closer to the realm of both the worlds -

2:201

According to the Quran we all are passing through a test, each with a different set of paper. All this
comfort, reward, ease, difficulty, hardships are but tests and trails. The system is with those who exercise
patience, refrain from temptations. The idea of testing is Zikr (reflection / recollecting / remembering) to be
self conscious of ourselves.

(5:48)
And We have revealed towards you, the recorded facts, which speaks the truth
that which differentiate its power from the record and as a criterion over it. So
judge between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their
inclinations away from what has come to you from the facts. To each of you We
prescribed a law and a method. Had Allah willed, He would have made you one
Ummat, but [He intended] to TEST YOU in what He has given you; so race to [all
that is] good. To Allah is your return all together and He will [then] inform you
concerning that over which you used to differ? (5:48)

Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good astrial; and
to Us you will be repeatedly return - (21:35)

And We will surely test you until We make evident those who strive among you
[for the cause of Allah] and the patient, and We will test your affairs(47:31) -
Traditional translations

[He] who evolved death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed -
and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving (67:2)

And when adversity touches man, he calls upon Us; then when We bestow on him
a favor from Us, he says, "I have only been given it because of [my] knowledge."
Rather, it is a trial, but most of them do not know (39:49) - Traditional translations

And We did not send before you, [O Muhammad], any of the messengers except
that they ate food and walked in the markets. And We have madesome of you
[people] as trial for others - will you have patience? And ever is your Lord, Seeing
(25:20) - Traditional translations

And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to
[some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We
test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more
enduring (20:131) - Traditional translations

And know that your properties and your children are but a trial and that Allah has
with Him a great reward (8:28) (64:15)

And of the people is he who worships Allah on an edge. If he is touched by good,

he is reassured by it; but if he is struck by trial, he turns on his face [to the other
direction]. He has lost [this] world and the Hereafter. That is what is the manifest
loss (22:11)

"Taste your trial. This is that for which you were impatient." (51:14)

Our Lord, make us not objects of trial for the disbelievers and forgive us, our
Lord. Indeed, it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise." (60:5)

WHAT IS THE CORRECT ESSENCE OF ?

To Him will be your return- of all of you. The promise of Allah is true and sure. It is
He Who begins the process of creation, and continuously repeats it, that He may
reward with justice those who believe and work righteousness; but those who
reject Him will have a saturation from heat, and a penalty grievous, because they
did reject Him (10:4)

Say: "Of your 'partners', can any originate creation and continuously repeat it?"
Say: "It is Allah Who originates creation and continuously repeats it: then how
are ye deluded away (from the truth)?" (10:34)

Or, Who originates creation, then continuously repeats it, and who gives you
sustenance from higher and lower consciousness? (Can there be another) god
besides Allah? Say, "Bring forth your evidence, if ye are telling the truth!" (27:64)

See they not how Allah originates creation, continuously repeats it again: truly
that is easy for Allah (29:19)

It is Allah Who begins (the process of) creation; continuously repeats it again;
then shall ye be brought back to Him (30:11)

It is He Who begins (the process of) creation; then again continuously repeats it;
and for Him it is most easy. To Him belongs the loftiest setup in the higher and
the lower consciousness: for He is Exalted in Might, full of wisdom (30:27)

The Day when We will fold the higher consciousness like the folding of a written
sheet for the records. As We began the first creation, We willcontinuously repeat
it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it (21:104)

From the (lower consciousness) did We create you, and into it shall We
shall continuously repeat you, and from it shall We bring you out once
again (20:55) Think & Ponder

Then He will repeatedly return you into it and extract you [another]
extraction (71:18) Think & Ponder

UNDERSTANDING THE WORD EID AND ITS DERIVATIVES - , ,

Please note that the terms , , are imperfect verb form IV. Imperfect verb ( ) is used
with actions that are still in progress or with repeated actions, e.g. Things that you do every day or you
repeatedly do. Eid is the root word of , , which means to return again and again
continuously. Literally it means the continuous repetition which is going to happen again and again or
signifies an action which is incomplete or in progress.

) WITH SLEEP ( )IN QURANIC SENSE?

COMPARISON OF DEATH (


How can ye reject the faith in Allah?- seeing that ye were without life, and He gave you life; then will He
cause you to die, and will again bring you to life; and again to Him you would continuously
return (2:28). Please think.

is a 2nd person masculine plural passive imperfect verb - The imperfect

verb ( ) is a form, found in various languages, which combines past tense
(reference to a past time) and imperfective aspect. It refers to a continuing or repeated
event or state. It means an event or a state which is continuous in process which
combines past, present and future aspects This means is a continuous
action of returning as it is imperfect verb -

3 - rd person masculine singular (form IV) imperfect verb - 2nd person

masculine plural object pronoun is not a single death but a continuous
process -

And be diligent of that moment when you would be repeatedly returning in
it towards Allah. Then every soul will be compensated for what it earned, and they
will not be repeatedly treated unjustly (2:281) (3:25)

"You causes the anxiety to enter in the enlightenment, and You causes the
enlightenment to enter in the anxiety; You emerges the Living from the dead, and
You emerges the dead from the Living; and Thou gives sustenance to whom Thou
pleases, without measure."- (3:27) This verse talks about senses which brings
anxiety as well as enlightenment, and that same sense causes death and revival
of senses as well.

And if you asked them, "Who sends down thoughts from the higher
consciousness and gives life with it to the lower consciousness after
itssenseless?" they would surely say " Allah." Say, "All approvals to Allah "; but
most of them do not reason (29:63) This verse talks about life and death of senses

He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days - and His Throne was
over the waters - that He might try you, which of you is best in conduct. But if
thou wert to say to them, "Ye shall indeed be raised up after death", the
Unbelievers would be sure to say, "This is nothing but obvious sorcery! (11:7)
- Traditional translation Why would unbelievers say it is sorcery? Actually means art of
talking and not sorcery And means specific thoughts which revives the
death of senses - Think

Every soul shall have a taste of death: And only on the Day of Judgmentshall you
be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved 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 Traditional translation

Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you continuously by evil and
by good by way of trial. to Us you must continuous return. (21:35)

Say, "The angel of death will take charge of you repeatedly, who has been
entrusted with you. Again to your Rabb you will be returning
continuously." (32:11)

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) comparing
death with sleep

And among His Signs is the sleep that ye take by night and by day, and the quest
that ye (make for livelihood) out of His Bounty: verily in that are signs for those
who hearken Sleep is an Ayaat for those who understand - (30:23)

And He it is Who makes the Night as a Robe for you, and Sleep as Repose, and
makes the Day (as it were) a Resurrection. (25:47) - Traditional translations

And the stupor of death will bring Truth (before his eyes): "This was the thing
which thou was trying to escape!" (50:19)

He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed: and
He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving - (67:2)

Truly thou canst not cause the dead to listen, nor canst thou cause the deaf to
hear the call, (especially) when they turn back in retreat. (27:80)death of sense

Then contemplate (O man!) the memorials of Allah's Mercy!- how He giveslife to

the lower consciousness after its death: verily the same will give life to who
are dead: for He has power over all things. (30:50)

So verily thou canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make the deaf to
hear the call, when they show their backs and turn away. (30:52)death of sense
How the dead man can show their backs and turn away??

And among His Signs in this: you see the earth barren and desolate; but when
We send down rain to it, it is stirred to life and yields increase. Truly, He Who
gives life to the (dead) earth can surely give life to (men) who are dead. For He
has power over all things. (41:39)

See they not that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, and never
wearied with their creation, is able to give life to the dead? Yea, verily He has
power over all things. (46:33)

He brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the livingand
brings to life the lower consciousness after its lifelessness. And thus will you
be brought out repeatedly (30:19)
If we study carefully we can make out that Quran emphasizes on death of senses. When I say death of
senses I mean temporary loss of sense (like in sleep). The Quran even compares death with sleep
where senses ceased to exist temporarily and further goes on to say that it (sleep) has signs for those
who think. In Arabic one of the meanings of sleep is that when a person is unable to listen. Again I am
emphasizing, there is nothing physical in the entire Quran. The teaching of Quran is entirely based
on bil-gayab a(abstract) thing, thats why it is clearly mentioned in the beginning of the Quran (2:1-3).
This shows its importance of bil-gayab but we ignore this crucial aspect of the Quran. To understand the
book Quran one needs feelings, imagination, and intelligence more than the expertise in language.
Thats why emphasize is given on a diligent observant (Mutaqi)who can study Al-Kitab rather than a
scholar of the Arabic language. Self study(Rehman) is the teacher of the Quran no institution or
teacher can teach the Quran except self study (55:1-4).

ONLY FIRST DEATH FOR THOSE WHO ARE RIGHTEOUS:

Nor will they there taste Death in it, except the first death; and He will saved them from the Penalty
of the Blazing Fire (44:56)

"Such as took their deen to be mere amusement and play, and weredeceived by
the life of the world." That day shall We forget them as they forgot the meeting of
this day of theirs, and as they were wont to reject Our signs (7:51)

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AND :

Generally people think that the word and the word have same meaning and
are interchangeable. Actually Al-Aqibah is a process which follows each and every
deed of ours; it can be classified as consequences because the consequences always
follow our actions or deeds.

Nor did We send before thee (as messengers) any but men, whom we did inspire,-
(men) living in human habitations. Do they not travel through the earth, and see
what the end of those before them was? But the home of the hereafter is best, for
those who do right. Will ye not then understand?(12:109)

That Home of the Hereafter We shall give to those who intend not high-
handedness or mischief on earth: and the end is (best) for the righteous(28:83)

And for Him is no fear of its consequences (91:15)

UNDERSTANDING NAFS / SELF:

It is He Who has nurtured you from a single soul: here is a place ofsojourn and a
place of departure: We detail Our signs for people who attempts to understand
continuously (6:98)

The day it arrives, no soul shall speak except by His leave: of those (gathered)
some will be wretched and some will be blessed (11:105) Traditional translations


"On the Day when every soul will be confronted with all the good it has done, and
all the evil it has done, it will wish there were a great distance between it and its
evil. But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself. And Allah is full of kindness
to those that serve Him."(3:30) - Traditional translations

What they spend in the life of this (material) world May be likened to a wind which
brings a nipping frost: It strikes and destroys the harvest of men who
have wronged their own souls: it is not Allah that hath wronged them, but they
wrong themselves (3:117) Traditional translations

O ye who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities: But let
there be amongst you Traffic and trade by mutual good-will: Nor kill (or
destroy) yourselves: for verily Allah hath been to you Most Merciful! (4:29)

Every soul shall have a taste of death in the end to Us shall ye be brought back.
(29:57) Traditional translations

So that Allah will recompense every soul for what it earned. Indeed, Allah is swift
in account. (14:51) (40:17) - Traditional translations

One Day every soul will come up struggling for itself, and every soul will be
recompensed (fully) for all its actions, and none will be unjustly dealt
with (16:111)
"Verily the Hour is coming - My design is to keep it hidden - for every soulto
receive its reward by the measure of its Endeavour (20:15) - Traditional translations

Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good by
way of trial. To Us must ye return (21:35) - Traditional translations

Every soul shall have a taste of death in the end to Us shall ye be brought back.
Allah created the heavens and the earth for just ends, and in order that each soul
may find the recompense of what it has earned, and none of them be
wronged (45:22) - Traditional translations

To Allah belongeth all that is in the heavens and on earth. Whether ye show what
is in your minds or conceal it, Allah Calls you to account for it. He forgives whom
He pleases, and punishes whom He pleases, for Allah hath power over all
things (2:284) - Traditional translations
But those who believe and work righteousness,- no burden do We place on
any soul, but that which it can bear,- they will be Companions of the Garden,
therein to dwell (for ever) (7:42) - Traditional translations

The entire Quran talks about

Nafs (self / soul) and not about

Jism (The body) of human so
it is obvious that the body and self are different entities and the Quran only concentrates on the abstract
self / soul and not on the physical body.

ALLAH IS SWIFT IN TAKING ACCOUNTS WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

The traditionalists assume that Akhirah and Qayimah are future events which will take thousands of years
to happen. Their concept of Akhirah and Qayimah does not match the teachings of the Quran. The book
Quran says Allah is swift in taking accounts. If this event happens 1000 of years of our demise then the
traditionalists concepts contradict the verses of the Quran, where it clearly says that Allah is swift In taking
accounts (2:202, 3:19, 3:199, 5:44, 13:41, 14:51, 24:39, 40:17).

This means our accounts starts the moment we indulge in committing mistakes and sins. Allah does not
wait for the Day of Judgment to judge us and take accounts accordingly. Our concept of Akhirah in the
traditional sense is wrong thats why we are so relaxed and cool. Please come out of illusions and wrong
concept if you really want to succeed.

WHY ALLAH HAS CREATED SEVEN HEAVEN, SEVEN EARTH & MAN?

"And I have not evolved AL-Jinn and AL-Ins except for continuous service" (51:56)

It is Allah who has evolved several higher (heaven) and from the lower consciousness (earth), the
like of them. [His] command continuously descends between them so YOU MAY KNOW THAT
ALLAH IS ALL POWERFUL over all desiresand that Allah certainly is attentive with all desires of
knowledge (65:12)

The purpose of creation is clearly mentioned in verse 51:56 & 65:12. Through the evolution process
consisting of several levels of Higher and Lower consciousness, ALLAH or the SYSTEM OF
CONSCIOUSNESS (RABB) WANTS TO MANIFEST ITS OWN POWER AND COMMAND over all
desires and intentions of knowledge. Nevertheless Rabb is the part of our evolutionary process and
encompasses everything.

MY ANALYSIS:

According to the thesis presented by the Quran, the desire of the Consciousness (Rabb) to manifest its
own Qadeer (Value / Power) and Fitrat (Character), is one of the main subject matter. According to
thesis of the Quran the Consciousness has chosen man to be the instrument of His desire to fulfill His
plan to manifest, He created Man in His own nature (30:30). The creation of man is for the upright
submission and continuous service to the Rabb.
Identification and recognition of HIMSELF through various roles or categories of Human being is
the purpose of His Agenda. To fulfill that agenda He has instilled man with guidances by installing
various inherent messengers to guide them through His Agenda or His will. The duty of man is to
recognize his own role for which he has been bestowed with the status of supreme creation. If the man
does not understand his role and distracts himself with other appealing tasks by copying others, then he
is serving his own self (nafs) or his own agenda. When man fails to recognize his own role in the
embedded script, he fails in his duty towards the design of the master plan, and due to that he faces
various troubles, difficulties, distress, anxiety, worry, agitation, harassment, stress, annoyance, irritations.
This happens because man drifts away from the main agenda of his own Consciousness or being and
lives in an illusion of Duniya. He does not want to return back to his Rabb and assumes the present world
as his permanent or final abode. But the Quran says that the best abode is with Him (25:24) (25:75-76)
(79:40-41)

************************** ***************************************
The noble Quran is not the book of science whose information or knowledge is based
on some theories and discoveries. Science mainly deals in physical or material things,
whereas Quran deals in abstract things like emotions or feelings and their
consequences if not controlled or timely checked. To compare both the subjects is
injustice to the noble Quran as well as the science. Although the basic source of
knowledge of both, the Quran and science is the same that is the power of imagination
or inspiration (Wahi) from the Knowledgeable Consciousness (
) . Scientific
discoveries are backed by lengthy arguments by eminent scientists which can be
amended or rejected whenever new findings are discovered. But until then the old
findings remain as if it is the word of God for the general masses unless proven wrong
by the new discoveries. This is the major difference between scientific and religious
temperaments. But apparently Quran is neither a religious book nor a scientific book; in
fact its a book of consciousness a subject of psychology.

Consciousness is the state or quality of awareness, or, of being aware of an external object or
something within oneself. It has been defined as: sentience, awareness, subjectivity, the ability to
experience or to feel, wakefulness, having a sense of selfhood, and the executive control system of the
mind Wikipedia

Consciousness refers to your individual awareness of your unique thoughts, memories, feelings,
sensations, and environment.

Your conscious experiences are constantly shifting and changing. For example, in one moment you may
be focused on reading this article. Your consciousness may then shift to the memory of a conversation
you had earlier with a co-worker. Next, you might notice how uncomfortable your chair is, or maybe you
are mentally planning dinner.

This ever-shifting stream of thoughts can change dramatically from one moment to the next, but your
experience of it seems smooth and effortless.

In psychology, consciousness is occasionally confused with the conscience. It is important to note that
while consciousness involves awareness of yourself and the world, your conscience is related to your
morality and sense of right or wrong.

The global work space theory suggests that we have a memory bank from which the brain draws
information to form the experience of conscious awareness. While integrated information theory focuses
more on identifying whether an organism is conscious, the global work space theory offers a much
broader approach to understanding how consciousness works.

While consciousness has intrigued philosophers and scientists for thousands of years, we clearly have a
long way to go in our understanding the concept. Researchers continue to explore the different bases of
consciousness including the physical, social, cultural and psychological influences that contribute to our
conscious awareness. Extracted from the Consciousness: The psychology of awareness by Kendra

The problem with many philosophies of the old scriptures like Quran is that they are treated by its
followers as heavenly and which are believed to be for only a particular class of people. But the truth is
the ancient scriptures have an immense wealth of knowledge but only for all those who are interested to
study it. Although the original language in which those scriptures have been written are no more
in colloquial usage. Sadly it has become a liturgical language which is only used in
religious rituals or ceremonies. The general masses too are not interested to know the
actual truth of their respective holy books. They are content with whatever has been
dictated to them by their respective religious heads.
Some who think outside the beliefs of their respective religions are labeled as Atheists
as they reject all the super natural dogmas. Just like the religious, these people too are
rigid in their way of thinking and they wont accept anything which is even slightly
against their way of thinking. Peaceful existence, tolerance and secularism are the main
subjects of the Quran but these two groups (Atheist and religious) leave no opportunity
to attack each others philosophies.

I would like to make my stance clear, I do not believe in supernatural personal God,
whose decisions are based on the whims and fancies of mindless rituals performed by
individuals. But I am a firm believer in the cause and effect rule or the system of what
you sow so shall you reap. There is no one sitting up there that takes our accounts or
controls us. We are accountable and liable for what we do. I am a firm believer in the
System of Personal Consciousnesss connection with the Cosmic Consciousness which
I termed as RABB. And all our actions are recorded by this system of consciousness
and according to that our lifes cycle will revolve and gradually evolve. Computers
become old and die but their data is saved in the record of nature, we may recognize it
as internet, similarly a person will die but his accounts will remain in the record of its
consciousness which never dies or is eternal.

Coming back to Quran the book of 114 chapters that mainly discusses cosmic psychology in which
humans are the main character. Psychology is a study of the human mind, its functions and applications,
especially those affecting human behavior in a given context. The book Quran discusses about this
aspect of human behavior and its consequences on self and individuals.

NOBLE QURAN CHAPTER 45 JATHIYA 3-11:

3 Verily in the heavens and the earth are Signs for those who believe.

4 And in the creation of yourselves and the fact that animals are scattered
(through the earth) are Signs for those of assured faith.
5 And in the alternation of night and day, and the fact that Allah sends down
sustenance from the sky, and revives therewith the earth after its death, and the
change of the winds are Signs for those that are wise.

6 Such are the Signs of Allah which We rehearse to thee in Truth: then in what
exposition will they believe after (rejecting) Allah and His Signs?

7 Woe to each sinful dealer in falsehoods:

8 He hears the Signs of Allah rehearsed to him yet is obstinate and lofty as if he
had not heard them: then announce to him a Penalty Most Grievous!

9 And when he learns something of Our Signs he takes them in jest: for such
there will be a Humiliating Penalty.

10 In front of them is Hell: and of no profit to them is anything they may have
earned, nor any protectors they may have taken to themselves besides Allah: for
them is a Tremendous Penalty.

11 This is (True) Guidance: and for those who reject the Signs of their Lord is a
Grievous Penalty of abomination - Traditional translations

essence of an important subject rather than confusing the readers with my unconventional translations.
Readers are requested to read carefully. I have tried to simply provide a rough idea about what the Al-
Akhirah is with the help of some verses from the Quran.

The purpose of this article is to just scatter the seeds of thoughts in the air so that it may get planted in
some fertile land and whoever nurtures it properly may find some fruits in it.
