will or will not be transplanted on a severely ill person whose<br />

heart muscles do not function. Heart transplantation does not<br />

certainly cure the ill person. It has caused death to many<br />

people.<br />

On the Rising Day everybody will be resurrected from his<br />

grave with the same figure, stature and sizes of limbs as he had<br />

when he died. Each person’s coccyx will not change but his<br />

other limbs will be recreated on this bone, the souls will find<br />

these new bodies and enter them. The souls’ entering these<br />

new bodies is not metempsychosis. Metempsychosis is a<br />

concept pertaining to this world. There cannot be<br />

metempyshosis in the next world. Man’s body, limbs change in<br />

the world, too. The flesh, the fat, the skin, the bones of a forty<br />

year old person are different from those which he had when he<br />

was a child. But he is the same person. For, man means soul.<br />

The body changes, but the soul does not. A person’s fingerprints<br />

never change. No person’s finger-prints are like<br />

another’s. The shape of the lines on a person’s finger-tips form<br />

before he is born, while his soul enters his body. They never<br />

change until the person dies and his body decays. It has been<br />

observed that they have remained the same on five-thousand<br />

year old mummies. Each of the lines on the finger-tips is made<br />

up of holes arranged side by side. Each tiny hole leaks sweat.<br />

When a person holds something, the sweat that leaks out sticks<br />

to it and remains there in the shape of the lines. When some<br />

chemical that can color the sweat is put on that thing the<br />

person’s finger-prints are seen on it. In the eightieth page of the<br />

Persian book Kimyâ-yi Se’âdet, Imâm-i Muhammad Ghazâlî, a<br />

great scholar, says, “As the bodies which a person has at<br />

various ages are different from one another, so he will be<br />

resurrected from the grave with a body which has the same<br />

shape and stature but which is made up of different motes.<br />

When this writing of ours is understood well, there will no longer<br />

be need for questions such as: if a man eats another man, on<br />

which man will the eaten limb be recreated, on the man eaten,<br />

or on the one who ate him? For, not the limbs themselves but<br />

their copies will be created.”]<br />
