(7) THE SIGN OF ALLAH IN THE DEPARTURE OF
THE SOUL
آية الله في خروج الروح
Anyone who ponders on the departure of the soul; that
is, death, will realize that no man knows the hour of his departure; no man can
defy death and live for eternity.
Therefore how can a man cheat death or live without worrying about
it? Actually, there is no known remedy;
rather every soul must expire in line with the commands of Allah, the creator,
the giver and taker of life, who says: [Every soul shall have a
taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial. To us must
you return.]
(Q21:35). Death will overtake everyone
and our return after it is unto our lord.
Doctors
and scientists have all failed to expose the reality of soul and death, because
the knowledge concerning the reality of dying and the departure of soul is only
with Allah, the most High and Wise, who has decreed death on every person. For every living thing Allah has predestined
the time and place of its death. Such
knowledge is only known to Allah, the exalted in might and wise, who says in
the revealed Book: [And
they ask you concerning the Ruh (the Spirit); Say: "The Ruh (the Spirit)
is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of
knowledge, you have been given only a little."]
(Q17:85).
Let
us imagine one of our acquaintances, with whom we drink and dine, see him and
play with him, and suddenly the news of his death came to us! What is the
secret? His body is still present but
has been rendered immobile and lifeless because the soul has departed the body
by the command of Allah, the exalted. No
one can bring it back. Allah says: [...The
Ruh (the Spirit) is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my
Lord. And of knowledge, you (mankind) have been given only a little."
(Q17:85)
Despite
the advancement in medical research and discoveries, no one will ever be able
to stop the departure of the soul (death) because it is a matter ordained by
Allah.
No
deity is worthy of worship besides Allah; He is the giver and taker of life.
