Unreachable Laws
Al-Haqq
(SWT) wanted to save us from searching for the laws that governs sleep and to
let us know that we will not be able to discover it. So Allah (Galla Gallaloh)
said
<<It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death;
and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep; those on whom He has
passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the
rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed. Verily in this are Signs
for those who reflect>>
Ayah 42 from surat Az-Zumar
So we know
that sleep submits to the laws of Al-Barzakh ÇáÈÑÒÎ,
and we don’t know anything about the rules of life in Al-Barzakh, except what
Allah has informed us about. All what we know about that laws of sleep is that
there are things that we can see with and that it is different than the eyes
that we use in the day life, and that we can move with something other than our
legs that keeps us moving in the day life, and that there are words uttered
with what is different than the tongue that we speak with in the day life, and
that the world of Al-Barzakh does not rely on the physical senses that is
totally idle during sleep. Actually we have other senses that we use in the
world of Al-Barzakh and that world just like sleep does not have any human
choice or any feel of the time and in that world we meet with people who have
left this life and moved to the mercy of Allah before us, just as we meet them
in our sleep world.
Allah (SWT)
gave us all that in mercy of our minds and to know that there are things
existing in the unseen that we know nothing about so that the image of the
world of Al-Barzakh gets closer to our minds and also to know that moving from
the day life to the life of Al-Barzakh can happen in a moment and then we can
understand the meaning of what Rasoul Allah (PBUH) said:
“By the witness of Allah you are going to die in the same way
you sleep and you are going to be resurrected in the way you wake up”
By now we
have agreed that the human choice in life is not absolute choice, but a limited
one and we have explained how man cannot choose the time and place of his
birth, his parents, nationality, sex, homeland, how he looks, the color of his
eyes and hair and many others. He also can not choose the time of his death and
he does not choose anything in his sleep which actually narrows down the area
of choice that will get much more narrower as we proceed in specifying the
choice that Allah gave to his servants.
To be continued....
