scientists can make such estimations.]
My dear son! The information which Allahu ta’âlâ has
bestowed upon the lot of this poor person [Imâm-i Rabbânî
refers to himself] is as follows: The Âdams who lived before
Hadrat Âdam, who is the first man and the first prophet, were all
in âlam-i-mithâl. They were not in âlam-i shahâdat. There was
only one Âdam in âlam-i shahâdat, that is, in this world of
matter which we see, and he was a prophet. Angles prostrated
in front of him. Allahu ta’âlâ had made a man’s statue from
sticky mud and had changed it into flesh and bones.
[As we know today, Allahu ta’âlâ changes earthen
substances, nitrates and phosphates, into proteins in the
factory of plants, and changes these vegetable proteins into
flesh and bones and limbs in an animal’s body. Not only
science can realize this today, but also with the help of
substances which we call catalysts, we can conduct chemical
reactions quickly, in a second, that normally takes years. While
men can do thousands of years of work in a moment, and as
we know that Allahu ta’âlâ changes earthen substances into
substances of flesh and bones in a few years, it is easy to
realize through science that He can do it in a moment as well.
Just as Allahu ta’âlâ changed earthen substances into organs
in a moment, attached the soul to the body and created Âdam,
the first man, so on the Day of Resurrection He will re-gather
these elements in a moment, will make men’s bodies, and will
give these bodies the souls that existed. A person’s dying
means that the soul leaves the body. The soul does not die. On
the Day of Resurrection, together with everything else, the
souls will be annihilated and then they will be recreated. Today,
an intelligent person who can realize Allah’s power well through
the branches of sciences, such as physics, chemistry,
physiology and astronomy, can also realize easily as a scientific
fact that Hadrat Âdam and all men and animals will be brought
out of the soil on the Day of Resurrection. A century ago,
Muslims believed this without any understanding. But today, we
see it as a simple scientific fact and believe it without needing
further proof.
