Where is The Soul
All of the
scholars in religion could not tell us where is the soul that gives the life to
the body. Is it in the heart? Or in the brain that thinks? Or in the blood circulation
that never stops? Or in the feet that moves? Or in the eyes that see? Or in the
ears that hear? Where is it? A question that science cannot answer, because it
is a secret that no one knows except Al-Haqq (SWT), and it will remain a secret
that only Allah knows.
So if you
could feel the soul that is a creature in your body and you know its effect
because it is giving you life, but yet you do not know anything about it because
Allah (SWT) hides all information about it from you, how come you say that your
body is subject to your will? No it is not subjected to you but to the will of
its Creator, Allah (SWT).
If we move
after that to the things in your body that Allah has made subject to your will.
For example, Allah has made the tongue subject to your will, that’s why it
obeys you when you want to witness that there is no God but Allah <<<La illah illa Allah>>> and it speaks the words – Al-Shahadah.
And it also obeys you when you want to say the word of infidelity, Allah
forbids. And your eyes obeys you when you want to see what is Halal and when
you want to meditate the Signs – Ayat - of Allah throughout His universe, or
when you look to what does not belong to you and is forbidden by Allah – Haram.
The hands obey
you when you want to help with it a disabled man to cross the street and it
also obeys you when you want to physically assault someone weak or to kill your
enemy. And the feet obey you by going to the mosque or by going to places that
serve wine and allow iniquity.
All those
organs will obey you in all that you order, whether it is to obey Allah or to
disobey Him, because they are tools subjected to your choice. But you should
know two important facts: first that all those organs are praising Allah (SWT),
and Allah Jalla Jallaloh has created your body from dust. And the atoms of dust
that the body is created from chose to be oppressed to obey and so they are by
themselves praising Allah. They obey the infidel in what he wants but at the
same time curse him and at the Day of Resurrection, will bear witness against
him and that witness will be a cause for sending him to Hell. Read what Al-Haq
(SWT) says:
<<On the Day when their tongue, their hands and
their feet will bear witness against them as to their actions>>
Ayah 24 from surat Al-Nur
And Galla Gallaloh says:
<<They will say to their skins: “Why do you bear
witness against us?” They will say: “Allah has caused us to speak, He causes
all things to speak: and He created you the first time and to Him you are made
to return”>>
Ayah 21 from surat Fussilat
Therefore
all those organs that are submitted to your choice are only apparently submitted
to your orders, but in fact they are praising Allah and at the Day of Resurrection
when the infidel will go to Hell, those organs of the body will be in ultimate
happiness because they cause pain for the infidel and punish him for his sins.
And if you
want to go through a perceptible experience that confirms those meanings, look
at the pilgrims at the time of HAJ and you will find that they sleep very
little of the night. Yet their bodies can endure the fatigue and short of sleep
to a marvelous extent so that one can wake up after two hours sleep full of
energy. Why? Because the body that is praising Allah is comfortable with the praise,
the prayers and all the HAJ ceremonies. For that the body does not want to
sleep or to overlook the glorification of Allah, the praise and the prayers except
for the least time possible and with that harmony the believer does not feel
any fatigue in his body.
On the
contrary, the infidel who does not do anything except the sins, you will find
the atoms of his body always exhausted from those sins. That is why he sleeps
till noon and even when he wakes up, he would still have the feeling that he
wants to sleep again because the parts of his body that are tired from doing
sins are hating to do them and are trying to have a break from those sins, and
sleep is the only way to keep that infidel away from performing sins and so the
body will look tired and exhausted pushing that man to sleeping for long intervals
of time.
That is why
when the people go to Al-HAJ, you will hear many of them say to you that they
had an incredible strength while performing the HAJ ceremonies, so that they used
to sleep few hours of the night and still were extremely active. They will tell
you that they never had the feel of sleep and they wanted to remain awake all
the night as well as the day.
Truly that
happens but no one notices the reason behind it. The atoms of the body are
harmonious with the obedience of their Creator and they do not want to overlook
that obedience except for the least possible. This is the fact of Faith related
to the human body.
