Death and Murder
So Death is
different than murder because in the case of the former, death comes first and
then after that the body is destroyed. But in the case of the Murder the body
should be destroyed first to cause death, for example by hitting one’s head and
breaking it or by shooting him several times in the head or chest.
So in the
case of Murder, you have to destroy the body first to get the soul out and
cause death. On the other side, death is a way of getting rid of life first and
then the destruction of the body follows, and that can happen only from Al-Haqq
(SWT) and man has no hands in it. Yet, murder is the ruining of the body first and
consequently death follows. And that man who disputed with Ibrahim (PBUH) about
his God because Allah has granted him the kingdom argued with Ibrahim (PBUH)
also about the issue of Death and Life as in the Ayah
<<When Ibrahim said (to him): “My Lord is He who
gives life and caused death.” He said: “I give life and cause death”>>
Ayah 258 from surat Al-Baqarah
And that
king had been lying about what he said because only Al-Haqq (SWT) can give and
take life and man can only murder, he can not cause death. And as we reach the
point where man has no control over life and death, we also need to consider
sleep that is also not in the hands of man. Sleep is a miracle that is
confusing the whole world because it is still an unknown phenomenon. How man by
just closing his eyes moves from one set of laws to another in a moment. For in
the life of vigilance man hears with his ears, sees with his eyes, talks with
his tongue and walks with his legs and he is bounded in time and space, limited
by specific rules; for he can not travel from Egypt to the United States in
less than few hours and he has to follow certain procedures. In that case he
should go to the airport, check in, take the flight and spend some hours before
he reaches the States, and then he checks out and so on...
And man in
the life of vigilance (day life) sees with his eyes according to the strength
of his sight; there is someone with good sight who can see from a far distance
and another with weak sight who needs medical glasses and then material objects
will obstruct his sight so he cannot see beyond a wall. Also man in the day
life walks with his legs and his pace is limited even if he walks faster and he
is bounded by his materialism so that if he falls from a high place he is
killed or his bones are broken. Moreover, there is a lot of things hindered from
man in his day life, for he can not see the dead, who relocated to the mercy of
Allah, even if he stands in front of their tombs nor can he talk to them. And
there is an endless set of rules in the life of vigilance that we all know about.
To be continued....
