THE ONLY WAY OUT<br />

"When the heaven is cleft asunder. And when the<br />

planets are dispersed. And when the seas are ruptured.<br />

And when the graves are turned over, every soul (at that<br />

time) will realize what (deed) it has proceeded and what<br />

(deed) it has left behind" (1) .<br />

According to the Quran, cosmic disorders will precede the coming of<br />

the Last Day<br />

Death is not the end of everything. It is neither an eternal<br />

annihilation of the self nor a transmigration of the soul. In the<br />

Quran, death is a journey to a new order of life called Barzakh,<br />

the intermediary life; beyond which we continue our journey<br />

to meet the one true Creator:<br />

(1)<br />

Quran: 82: 15: In his exegesis of the Quran, Imam Ashawkaani<br />

explains that “proceeded deeds” and “deeds left behind” are expressive<br />

of what man used to do at the beginning and end of his life, or may<br />

mean deeds which man had “proceeded” <strong>for</strong> himself, in terms of<br />

reward, and deeds which had <strong>out</strong>reaching impact after his demise i.e.<br />

deeds left behind. (Fat-hil Qadeer, p. 492, Daralkutubil Elmiyah, Beirut,<br />

Lebanon)
